Beat Rising Prices at B&M with These 7 Genius Hacks
Skyrocketing living costs and soaring food prices have shoppers hunting for bargains. Luckily, Tom Church, co-founder of LatestDeals.co.uk, spills seven top tips to slash your B&M shopping bills.
Hold Off on New Snacks – Wait for Price Drops
New snacks may catch your eye but hold your horses. Tom explains new launches come with a premium price tag. Wait until the initial hype fades and prices tumble. Keep a list of must-have snacks with their launch prices and watch for special deals or markdowns to bag a bargain.
Use the B&M App & Hunt for Hidden Discounts
- Scan barcodes: The B&M app lets you scan items in-store to check if shelf prices are marked up. You might find a lower price hidden away.
- Spot yellow stickers: These signal real discounts. Tom found a Rimini Chiminea slashed from £50 to £30 thanks to one.
- Shop Wednesday mornings: B&M often drops prices midweek, including their famous 10p bargains.
Check Barcodes & Join Secret Facebook Bargain Groups
Sometimes identical products have different barcodes with varying prices – grab the cheaper one. For insider info, join hidden Facebook groups like Latest Deals, Extreme Couponing & Bargains. Tom warns the competition is fierce but the savings are worth hunting for.
Delay Buying Seasonal Goods – Wait for Discounts
Avoid snapping up new seasonal ranges immediately. Prices usually drop after a month or so. Summer lines, for example, are best left alone unless already reduced.
Save Big by Following These Simple Tricks
By using these seven savvy hacks, B&M shoppers can stretch their budgets further in the ongoing cost of living crunch. As prices keep rising, every penny saved counts.
