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.

Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
