One bargain hunter took to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK to show off the toy haul they did this week.
They wrote: “Check your local B&M folks. Just got all this for dirt cheap.”
One of the cheap items they snapped up was a Tiffany doll with a scooter, which was just 80p.
They also got a Tattoo Meez set with a plushy for just £2.50, and they spotted a Disney Bitzee for £18.
The shopper added: “They also had Power Ranger Funko Pop, Lego Star Wars for £9, Ninja Turtles stuff and more.”
B&M just this week launched a two for £20 offer on over 20 of its products but has dropped prices on others by even more.
In any case, always remember to compare prices before buying any product as you might find it cheaper elsewhere.
PriceSpy, Price Runner and Idealo are three websites well worth using to find the best price for a particular item.
You can also use the Google Shopping/Product tab to do a less extensive trawl of the internet.
If you’re looking to find similar bargains next time you’re at B&M, there is one trick you can use as well – 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.

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.
