Shopping pro reveals EXACT time you should head to B&M to pick up big bargains

B&M Bargains has become a beloved staple on the British high street. 

Not just for its seemingly endless aisles that stock everything from food and clothes to homeware and tools, but also its prices.

While we’re living through a cost of living crisis, B&M is a sanctuary for budget-conscious shoppers. 

And we all know that familiar feeling of walking into a B&M store feeling like we’re about to embark on a treasure hunt. 

The shelves are packed with an eclectic mix of goods, ranging from branded food items and cleaning supplies to quirky home décor and seasonal products. 

The thrill of discovering new things and bagging a bargain keeps Brits returning, with hauls and ‘come shopping with me’ videos about the store racking up millions of views on social media.

But what if we told you that you can get things EVEN cheaper in your local B&M?

According to one shopping expert, you can. 

The bargain hunters behind Hot UK Deals have revealed that the date and time you attend B&M make all the difference in the bargains you score.

“Have you ever wondered what the best time to shop at B&M is?” a spokesperson shared in an Instagram reel. 

“Well, I’m about to tell you.

“B&M store managers often get an email on Tuesdays about what they need to discount for the following day.

“Therefore, if you go to B&M on a Wednesday morning at about 10am, you’ll get the best pick of the bunch.

“You’ll be first there to see what discounts and deals they have in store.

“Because as we know, good deals and discounted items absolutely fly off the shelves.”

PERKS OF THE JOB

However, according to one shopper, B&M staff get to choose from all the bargains first. 

“Speaking to a member of staff and she says it’s all offered to staff first,” Michelle Barnes claimed.

“So, they all swipe it in the back and customers don’t see half of it. 

“I’m glad there’s perks to the job but I bet we miss a fair bit because of this.

“You just to be quick and lucky, I guess.”

B&M MANIA

While sales and offers already offer big discounts, there are still ways to save even more money at B&M stores.

The B&M barcode scanner app allows you to discover discounted items before the staff has even reduced them.

The scanner is located on the B&M Stores mobile app, which can be downloaded for free on your smartphone.

Shoppers can download it on the App Store or Google Play.

Back in May 2023, B&M announced plans to open 30 new stores in the UK over the past year, including some relocations of older sites.

Earlier this year, bosses opened 17 stores – many of which were former Wilko sites. 

The discount retailer agreed to buy up to 51 Wilko locations in a £13million deal back in September 2023.
