How to save money at B&M
The B&M scanner app is free to download onto your smartphone via the Apple App Store or Google Play and flags potential bargains.
Once downloaded, use the camera on your phone to scan product barcodes around the store.
The app then tells you the true price of that product, which is sometimes much lower than the price tag says it is.
One shopper used the app to get a £10 long hot water bottle for just 10p.
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.
Deals expert Tom Church said to keep an eye out for red sticker products as well.
5 ways to save money in your garden
Garden design experts at Lighting Legends have revealed the ways you can lower gardening costs.
1. Install a water butt
Water butts are a large container that sits in your garden and collects rainwater. This water can then be used to water plants, top up ponds or water features and wash the patio and other garden furniture. The natural outdoor water could help you save money on your water bills as you are less likely to use a hose during the summer months.
2. Use solar powered or LED lighting
Solar powered lights get their energy from the sunlight in the day so they can illuminate your garden at night. They’re easy to install and are a great choice for keeping electricity bills low. LED lights are another option that are long lasting and energy efficient.
3. Grow your own salad and vegetables
Growing your own salad and vegetables will not only save you money but it can also feel really rewarding. Things like lettuce, radishes, and spinach are all fairly easy to grow.
4. Upcycle waste and rubbish
Get creative and start upcycling items instead of throwing them away. Use sticks from ice lollies as plant tags or turn old watering cans and wheelbarrows into planters instead of buying new pots. Once you get creative the ways to upcycle are endless.
5. Start composting
Start composting your kitchen scraps like vegetable peelings and coffee grounds and combine them with garden waste such as leaves and grass clippings to create a nutrient rich compost. This could reduce your need to spend money on expensive fertilisers.
