The chain is booming, with more than 560 stores across the UK having opened 47 in the last year to March.

But using tips from bloggers and money-savers who shared their tricks on The Sun's , you could save even more money on already low-priced goods.
Here are the best tips for grabbing a bargain at B&M that we found.
How to nab a bargain at B&M
1. Check Manager's Specials
Blogger Cass Bailey, of , told The Sun: "It's always worth checking the Manager's Specials section on the website so you can see if there are any great deals that you want to look out for when you’re in store."
If you spot a deal online, make sure you note down the product code so you can find it easily in stores.
2. Best Time to Buy
Pete Nix shared in the : "The best time to go in for bargains is usually around 9.30am - 10.30am as the ticketer would be going around adjusting prices from about 7.30am."
3. Download the App
Louise Baker shared in The Sun's Money Saving Tips and Deals Facebook page: "Get the app. There’s a product scanner on the app that tells you if the price is reduced on their system even if it’s not been changed on the shelf yet."
We've heard about plenty of people nabbing very good bargains this way.
Miss Hayes wrote on the LatestDeals.co.uk Facebook page: "I got a vase that was priced as £5 on the shelf down to 1.50, some sweets that were £2 down to 5p each, [and] four Easter eggs that where £2 each down to 50p each."
Beware though, as you will have to flag the app's prices to the cashier on the till, who will likely have to check with the store manager.
Some stores will honour whatever prices come up on the app's product scanner, but not all will.
4. Home Delivery

You just need to ask in store for home delivery to be arranged.
5. Check the Website
John Merrick shared on The Sun's Money Saving Tips and Deals Facebook page: "Good way to look for deals is their website."
You can't order products online but it is a handy way to search for the best offers in store.
But John warns that B&M doesn't stock everything on its website in all stores.
6. Search for Reduced Items
B&M reduce items everyday so there are some good bargains to be had if you look for the red stickers.
Kim Adamson revealed on the LatestDeals.co.uk Facebook page: "I've managed to pick up a few 10p bargains over the past two years."
7. There's Gymwear Too
B&M doesn't always sell sportswear but it's worth looking out for as its collections tend to be lower in price than many other gymwear retailers, reports the Liverpool Echo.
The discount shop usually releases collections seasonally, so January would be a good time to keep an eye out for cut-price sports clothing.
8. Two for £20
One of B&M most popular offers is its .
Alexandra Lee wrote in the LatestDeals.co.uk Facebook group: "They seem very good quality. I bought a play checkout and a pirate ship with moving parts and sounds last night, a real bargain compared to the likes of Symths/Argos prices."
