I’m a shopping pro – the exact day to head to B&M to get the best deals – you’ll find air fryers for a few pounds
WITH Christmas just around the corner - many of us are looking for the best shopping deals to save some cash.
Thankfully, a shopping expert has revealed her top three tips to getting the best money-saving deals in B&M.
The first hack the professional shoppers recommended was downloading the B&M scanner app.
The free-to-download app has a built-in scanner that allows customers to check the latest price on products in the B&M system while in stores.
It might seem like a chore but this can sometimes be the best way to find the best deals, especially as price tags on the shelf might be more expensive than the ones in the app.

The Latest Deals team said that "this is how deal hunters find crazy B&M bargains".
In a TikTok clip, they added: "B&M drops prices on its system without updating price tags. To find the bargains, you have to go around scanning barcodes."
The experts claimed that some deals include "air fryers for a few pounds and chocolate for pennies."
The expert goes on to reveal the exact day you need to head to stores for the best bargains.
They reveal Wednesday morning is the best day and time of the week to get the most out of your B&M shop.
"A B&M manager told me that this is when most of the new reductions come in," the savvy shopper revealed.
The third and final tip to secure bargain buys is simply buying for the future.
Stores are more likely to offer reductions when they're trying to shift old stock, such as bargain goods in the days after Halloween and Christmas or cheap chocolates after Easter.
It might feel odd buying summer stuff in winter but prices are often slashed to their lowest to make way for new season products.
Sometimes, being prepared can save you money in the long run.
How to save money at 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.
The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
According to one ex-B&M manager, you'll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.
Here's how you can join the B&M bargain hunt:
- Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play.
- Once you've installed it on your device, click on the option labelled "more" on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page.
- You'll then find an option that says "barcode scanner". Click on this and you'll open a camera screen.
- Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check.
- If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price.
- You don't need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner.
Shoppers should also keep an eye out for products with a white reduction sticker on.
This means they will have a certain amount slashed off the price shown on the label.
