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,
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.

Meta poaches 28-year-old Scale AI CEO after taking multibillion dollar stake in startup
Facebook-owner Meta has invested in Scale AI in a deal that values the data-labeling startup at $29 billion and brings in its 28-year-old CEO, Alexandr Wang, to play a prominent role in the tech giant's artificial intelligence strategy. Meta will take a 49% stake for $14.3 billion, according to two sources familiar with the matter. "We will deepen the work we do together producing data for AI models and Alexandr Wang will join Meta to work on our superintelligence efforts," Meta said in a statement that did not disclose financial terms. The main driver for Meta's substantial investment in Scale was to secure Wang to lead its new superintelligence unit, according to a separate source briefed on the discussions. The sources were not authorised to speak to media and declined to be identified. Meta did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Wang, who was born in New Mexico to Chinese immigrant physicists, dropped out of MIT to co-found Scale. He was quickly lauded as one of Silicon Valley's most promising entrepreneurs, raising funding from blue-chip venture capital firms and achieving billionaire status in his 20s. He has also cultivated relationships with top tech executives such as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and has since leveraged his influence to build connections in Washington DC, testifying in front of Congress and securing the federal government as a big client. Meta, once recognised as a leader in open-source AI models, has suffered from staff departures and has postponed the launches of new open-source AI models that could rival competitors like Google, OpenAI, and China's DeepSeek. By poaching Wang, who does not come from a research background but has built a major AI business, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is betting that Meta's AI efforts can be turned around by an adept business leader more in the mold of Altman than the research scientists at the helm of most competing labs. Scale said the deal values it at $29 billion and that its chief strategy officer, Jason Droege, will serve as its interim CEO. The social media giant does not plan to take a board seat in Scale, one of the sources added. A few employees from Scale, a company with 1,500 people, will join Wang in moving to Meta, Wang said in a note to employees. Wang will remain on Scale's board. The cash investment would rank as Meta's second-largest ever after its $19 billion buyout of WhatsApp. It is unclear if this deal will come under any regulatory scrutiny. Meta has been sued by the US Federal Trade Commission, which alleges it illegally acquired Instagram and WhatsApp to stifle competition. Founded in 2016, Scale provides vast amounts of accurately labeled data, which is pivotal for training sophisticated tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT. To do so, Scale set up subsidiary platforms such as Remotasks and Outlier to recruit and manage gig workers who manually label the data. It was valued at nearly $14 billion in a May 2024 funding round that included Nvidia, Amazon and Meta among its backers. Despite the large investment sum, the deal might not be all good for Scale. Many AI labs that are clients of Scale could decide to discontinue using its services if they were to worry, that since Wang still sits on Scale's board, Meta might obtain an inside track into rivals' priorities around data. Still, the deal is a win for early venture capital investors in Scale, such as Accel and Index Ventures, who can cash out half of their stake in the startup.

Abandoned F1 track lies overgrown and covered in rubbish 13 years after last race as £255m of debt is racked up
FORMULA ONE will have two Grand Prix events in Spain next year following the announcement of the 2026 calendar. The last time the country did this was between 2008 and 2012. 8 Fernando Alonso was the last winner of a race at the Valencia Street Circuit Credit: Getty Images - Getty 8 The track hosted five Grand Prix between 2008 and 2012 but ate up huge running costs Credit: Action Images - Reuters 8 It has now laid abandoned for 13 years with rubbish seen across the track 8 Weeds are now seen growing through the kerbs 8 Running costs totalled up to a staggering £255m in debts 8 The once picturesque harbour-view track still holds some scars of its past 8 Old sponsors and paint markings can be seen on the site The first was in Located near the port of Valencia, the F1 track record at the 3.4-mile circuit was set by Timo Glock in 2009 with a time of 1:38.683, though However, the track was far from popular with drivers for its mundane layout and eventually a lack of interest and funding saw F1 move away. The deal to bring it to F1 had allegedly been part of an election promise between former F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone and Valmor Sport group, led by former motorcycle racer Jorge "Aspar" Martínez and READ MORE IN F1 But when Valmor went bankrupt through taking care of all the costs involved in running the races, the tracks seven-year deal was cut down to five and dug a financial hole worth £255million in debt. An estimated £87m is said to have been paid to Ecclestone, while there were also considerable costs for the construction of the circuit, television broadcasting and various invoices related to the organisation. All told, the Generalitat Valenciana had to fork out a bill of more than £85m to cover the losses. And the circuit itself has been left in a state of disrepair after being closed in 2013.

One of F1's most recognisable voices reveals Leclerc and Hamilton moments that will live with him forever Weeds have overtaken the slip roads on the site, rust has taken root on old safety barriers, and access tunnels have been flooded. Buildings on the site look every hour of their age, with a repurposed 19th-century warehouse showing signs of needing a major paint job. The track itself has not fared much better, with heaps of rubbish seen lying across it while weeds and plants grow out from under the kerbs of the circuit. Pit markings and tyre burns can also be seen over what was not cleared away, while there is even still some evidence of race sponsors from never-removed hoardings to painted pavement which has faded over time. Thieves have also had their way with what was left at the site. Anything valuable that might have been left over from the days of F1 has been gutted out. There was hope for the site in 2022 when an investment group was in talks with the City Council to reclaim the space, turning it into housing and flats for residents. 8

'I have lots of friends who left Ireland because the rents are too high here'
The new changes to Rent Pressure Zones announced this week have 'loopholes that can be abused' by unscrupulous landlords, one renter has said. Eilís Walsh, 29, works in marketing for a social enterprise, and is paying €520 per month for an apartment in Limerick as a long-term tenant. 'I've been here a few years and I'm lucky, relatively speaking. There could be someone in an identical apartment a few doors down who has just moved in and paying much more,' she said. Eilís Walsh, 29, works in marketing for a social enterprise, and is paying €520 per month for an apartment in Limerick as a long-term tenant. 'Once a tenant does leave and the property can be brought to market rents, I think that in itself is unregulated because the standard of the property versus the rent that's being charged is insane. 'There's a lot of intimidation from landlords because there is a housing crisis, so you are more likely to try and stay renting where you are, even if the conditions are bad. 'My apartment is very poorly insulated and extremely cold for most of the year but I can't leave because everywhere else will cost much more.' 'If most landlords can make a few extra bob, they'll go for it. The property won't have to be kept up to a good standard if they can't evict a tenant but have an incentive to get the tenant to voluntarily leave,' Ms Walsh said. The new rules also distinguish between small landlords, with three properties or fewer, and large landlords who own more than three. Small landlords will still be able to evict tenants on a no-fault basis but cannot reset the rent unless the tenant leaves voluntarily. This has led to concerns that landlords may act nefariously in a bid to get tenants to leave of their own accord. 'If most landlords can make a few extra bob, they'll go for it. The property won't have to be kept up to a good standard if they can't evict a tenant but have an incentive to get the tenant to voluntarily leave,' Ms Walsh said. A stock image of a rental property. Pic: Getty Images The Department of Housing admitted this week that the changes will lead to increased rents for 'several years' until the RPZ changes stimulate investment in construction and the subsequent increase in new apartments leads to increased housing supply. 'Why are we punishing or scapegoating new renters by making them pay more? People have to move for all sorts of reasons. There's a lot of room for that system to be abused in terms of the new apartments,' Ms Walsh said. A report by the Housing Agency found that the RPZ changes may take as many as 'three to four years' before they contribute to more homes being built, while rents will increase in the short-term. Ms Walsh noted: 'That's assuming that they are built at the speed that the Government expects. 'They haven't met their targets for housing in the past. 'So many decisions in this area are being made for profit as opposed to a duty of care for people living in Ireland. I have so many friends who moved abroad because the rent is just not worth it,' Ms Walsh said. 'I can't see the housing crisis getting better in the next five years unless there's a change of government. 'We all know that there's a lot of TDs who are landlords as well.'
