SHOPPERS are racing to their nearest B&M to clear the shelves of a homeware essential after its price was slashed from £2.50 to just 50p.
A savvy customer posted the find on Facebook which received hundreds of likes from users eager to get their hands on the discounted item.
B&M is selling hand towels for just 50p and offering a pack of three facecloths for a mere 10p.
The shopper, who posted her find on the popular social media site, wrote: “Hand Towel & A 3 Pack of face clothes in b&m for 60p!!.
“So much reduced at the moment.”
Several fellow bargain hunters left comments on the post praising the find.
One user said: “Love the colour.”
“We need a B&M trip now,” wrote another.
“Need to go,” a user added.
However, many expressed disappointment after they couldn’t find the reduced items at their local branch.
One user commented: “Nothing like this at my local store.”
“Didn’t see these,” said another.
While a third wrote: “No bargains at Clifton Moor.”
Of course, do bear in mind that when prices are reduced by this much it’s usually in order for stores to clear excess stock, so availability will vary from store to store.
It’s always best to phone ahead to your local shop to check what they have available to avoid disappointment.

It comes after bargain hunters raced down to B&M to snap up an outdoor essential perfect for sprucing up their gardens.
Prices on a range of plant pots have been heavily reduced, with some marked down by 50% to just £1.50.
An eagle-eyed shopper spotted the bargain as they had been “reduced to clear” and hurried to spread the word on social media.
In a selection of photos posted to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, the savvy shopper showed what was on offer.
All the pots had been heavily reduced but some were marked down from £3 to just £1.50.
Others were down by a third, from £3 to £2.
While larger pots which had been originally priced at £5 were now on sale for £2.50, a 50 per cent reduction.
The post has had a huge response from other members of the group picking up more than 680 comments.
One person tagged in their pal and wrote: “We need to go.”
Another said: “Think we need another trip soon,” and also included their friend.
While a third added: “This is what I need.”
A fourth also added in their friend and posted: “Maybe worth a little trip.”
SENIOR Digital Writer, Abby Wilson, who loves a shopping trip to B&M, has shared her thoughts on why the chain is the place to go for bargain buys...
WE all love B&M (especially me). It’s a one-stop-shop where you can nab all things from gardenware and homeware, to snacks and cleaning supplies.
Not only do we love the variety B&M offers (because after all, who can be bothered to go to five different shops anymore?!), but the prices are brilliant too.
If you’re on a budget, B&M is definitely worth vising – as it’s full of cheap bargain buys.
Not only will you find affordable items, but B&M is full of dupes too – so if you’re after beauty buys without the designer price tag, you’ll need to take a trip.
Similar to this, the chain are eager to get on trends – so if you see something in H&M Home but are on a budget and can’t justify the price, give it a few weeks and you’ll probably spot something similar on the shelves in your local B&M.
Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M’s scanner app.
The scanner lets you see if an item’s price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label.
Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift, so prices and stock will vary from store to store.
It’s always best to phone ahead to your local shop to check what they have available to avoid disappointment.
You can find your nearest B&M store using the locator tool on the website.
According to one ex-B&M manager, you’ll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.
This is when staff slash items to as little as 10p to clear excess stock and make way for new products.
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
