‘More than a bargain’ hail B&M fans after bagging ‘fabulous’ homeware must-have scanning at tills for 30p instead of £20
B&M has slashed the price of a homeware must-have from £20 to just 30p.
Shoppers have been going wild for the “soft and luxurious” Oakwood Faux Fur Throw.
An eagle-eyed bargain hunter spotted the cosy essential in their local store and shared their good fortune on social media.
They shared a photo of the buy on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group.
They wrote: “I never ever get these and would def say this is more than a bargain. B&M couldn’t believe it.”
The post was met with comments from fellow deal fanatics keen to track down the blanket.
One said: “Brilliant, well done.”
Another wrote: “Wow that’s fabulous!”
A third commented: “Good find well done.”
“Can I get a barcode please I can check in my B&M?” another asked.
The listing for the item online reads: “Stylish, soft and luxurious.
“Cosy up underneath this Oakwood Faux Fur Throw or drape decoratively over your furnishing to enhance your style.”
The throw is approximately 130cm by 160cm.
Of course, do bear in mind that the item is likely reduced by this much because it’s the end of the line and branches are clearing stock.
It’s always worth giving your local site a call to check if they still have it in stock to avoid disappointment.
Plus bear in mind that the chair is still full price online, so your local branch is your best bet.
If you are unsure where your nearest B&M is you can put your postcode into the store locator tool on the retailer’s website.
We had a look online and found that Dunelm is selling Plush Faux Fur 130cm by 180cm throw for £28.
Next is also selling a Long Faux Fur Throw for a whopping £66.
T K Maxx has currently reduced its Kilburn and Scott Beige Faux Fur Throw – which is also 130cm by 170cm – tp just £13.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
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.
According to one ex-B&M manager, you’ll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.
This is when staff slash items to as little as 10p to clear excess stock and make way for new products.
Remember you can find your nearest B&M branch by using the retailer’s store locator tool on its website.
