Maddie Smout, a mum-of-two from the UK, took to social media to share the aisle in B&M shoppers mustn’t miss - and it’s full of affordable cleaning supplies.

With the majority of items just £1 each, you’ll need to check out your local B&M ‘Special Buy’ aisle next time you take a trip.

Giving her followers a close-up look at the sale aisle, Maddie shared her short clip with the caption ‘If you know about this aisle then we are already friends!’

She then said: “Guys if you're not going down the bargain aisle in B&M, you're missing a trick.

“Some of their cleaning stuff is elite and the majority of which is £1 to £2.”

Not only will you find all things cleaning supplies in this brilliant bargain aisle - from cleaning brushes and spray bottles, to sink caddies and dusters, but you’ll also be able to get your hands on cheap sponges and scourers too. 

The savvy mum then continued: “I'm gonna show you some of the stuff that I buy and can truly vouch for.”

Maddie, who regularly shops in B&M, Home Bargains, Primark and Poundland, is a huge fan of the £1 Houseproud Duster Starter Kits, which lock in dust, dirt and pet hair.

She added: “First off the Duster Starter Kit - you can buy three of these for the price of the Flash ones.”

She also raved about the On The Go Mini Lint and Hair Removers, which are just £2 a pack, as she beamed: “I've got these Mini Lint Removers in every bag.”

When in B&M, Maddie also makes sure to stock up on the £2 pack of five Microfibre Cleaning Cloths, as she shared: “Microfiber cloths are never that cheap and they're good.

“Absolutely no different to a Minky. And I get through them so quickly so I'm not gonna pay £3.”

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.
