One shopper recently spotted the Morphy Richards 3.5litre slow cooker at the bargain price, posting a photo of the find on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group.
The post has received plenty of attention from fellow savvy savers in awe at the deal.
One said: “Well done. what a fab buy”.
Another commented: “Such a good find.”
A third added: “I never get bargains like this.”
Bear in mind, your local B&M store might not have the slow cooker in stock and, if it does, it might not be available for 10p.
If you’re thinking of heading to your nearest store, it might be worth calling ahead to see if they have any available and that price.
You can find your local B&M store, its opening hours and phone number via bmstores.co.uk/stores.
In any case, always shop around when buying a product like this as you might find it cheaper elsewhere.
You can use websites like Price Spy, Price Runner and Trolley to compare prices on thousands of products.
The Google Shopping/Product tab is helpful if you want to quickly scan the internet and compare prices on items as well.
We checked out how much other retailers are selling the same 3.5litre Morphy Richards slow cooker for and no one has it cheaper than 10p.
Argos has priced it at £45, Amazon for £29.79 and Wilko for £43.99.
If you’re looking for 10p bargains at B&M, there is one trick you can use – the B&M scanner app.
The app can be downloaded for free on to your smartphone via the Apple App Store or Google Play.
It has a barcode price check feature which lets you scan product labels in-store to find out their true price.
It sometimes shows up products that have been slashed to just 10p.
The app also offers you a description of the product you are scanning.
How else to save money at B&M
The best time to get cut-price products is 10am on a Wednesday, according to one ex B&M manager.
This is when staff slash items to as little as 10p to clear excess stock and make way for new products.
It’s worth signing up to Facebook pages dedicated to hunting for bargains from B&M and other discounters too.
Some worth joining are B&M Bargains, Extreme Money Saving Deals and More and Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group.
Meanwhile, B&M super shopper Sam Penney recently revealed her six top tips for bagging a bargain at the discount chain.
This included looking out for red and white stickers on products which are placed on items which have been reduced in price.
Sam also said it’s worth speaking to B&M workers who can scan items and let you know if something is cheaper than its advertised price label.
How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
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.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
