Shoppers are snapping up ‘dirt cheap' toys from B&M from 80p – and they're perfect to put away for Christmas
B&M shoppers are racing to snap up 'dirt cheap' toys from B&M that are discounted to as low as just 80p. The purse-friendly retailer currently has a summer sale on, and many people are taking advantage of it to start on their Christmas shopping. 8 8 8 8 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. 6 ways to get the biggest bargains in B&M 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. 8 8 8 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 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. 8 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.

Stocks rally, oil prices drop after modest US inflation data solidifies Fed rate cut expectations
NEW YORK/LONDON, Aug 12 (Reuters) - World shares rallied on Tuesday as U.S. consumer prices data failed to shake market expectations of an impending Federal Reserve interest rate cut in September, even as a trade war truce between Washington and Beijing helped buoy sentiment. Wall Street's main indexes were all advancing after losing ground in the prior session, with financials, communication services, energy, industrials and materials driving gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI), opens new tab rose 0.89%, the S&P 500 (.SPX), opens new tab rose 0.56%, and the Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC), opens new tab rose 0.60%. European stocks (.STOXX), opens new tab nudged higher, rising 0.19%. MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe (.MIWD00000PUS), opens new tab rose 0.56% to 943.41. U.S. Labor Department data showed that the consumer price index rose 2.7% in 12 months through to July, which was slightly below the 2.8% rate that economists polled by Reuters had forecast. "There was upside risk to inflation and the market was bracing for that in some respects," said James St. Aubin, chief investment officer at Ocean Park Asset Management in Santa Monica, California. "The report today, all things considered, was fairly benign. I don't think there was anything to write home about but it certainly took the worst-case scenario off the table." Asian equities had rallied overnight after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order pausing triple-digit levies on Chinese imports for another 90 days. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan (.MIAPJ0000PUS), opens new tab gained 0.19%. Markets on Tuesday traded on short-term relief, however, as the softer-than-expected consumer price data firmed up bets for U.S. rate cuts. Traders are pricing in a 92% chance of a Fed cut in September, according to the CME Fedwatch tool. Short-term U.S. Treasury bond prices rallied moderately, with the yield on two-year notes, which track interest rate expectations, down 1.1 bps at 3.743%. Longer-dated bond prices were lower. The yield on benchmark U.S. 10-year notes rose 3.5 basis points to 4.308%. Investors had been on tenterhooks about this batch of inflation data because it had followed a surprisingly weak jobs report on August 1, and had the potential to make concerns about U.S. stagflation a dominant global narrative. Trump has nominated White House adviser Stephen Miran to temporarily fill a vacant board seat at the U.S. central bank, stirring up speculation about presidential interference in monetary policy. The U.S. and China have engaged in a tit-for-tat tariff duel throughout the year, culminating in trade talks in Geneva, London and Stockholm since May that focused on bringing tariffs down from triple-digit levels. Chinese exports jumped 7.2% year-on-year in July, beating the consensus forecast of economists polled by Reuters, but the nation's factory gate prices dropped by the most in two years in a further sign of manufacturers struggling to sell goods at home. In currency markets, the dollar weakened 0.05% to 148.085 against the Japanese yen and was down 0.5% against the Swiss franc . The euro rose 0.43% against the dollar at $1.166550. The pound rose 0.5% against the dollar to $1.34990 as traders anticipated the Bank of England lagging behind other non-U.S. central banks in implementing rate cuts. The BoE cut benchmark borrowing costs by a quarter-point to 4% last week after a tightly balanced vote between members of its monetary policy committee, who also broadly agreed that the risks of an upward wages-and-prices spiral remained present. Ten-year gilt yields rose by 5 bps to 4.624%. In commodities, spot gold prices were flat at $3,344.60 per ounce after dropping nearly 1.6% on Monday in response to Trump announcing there would be no tariffs on imported gold bars. Brent crude oil traded down 0.14% to $66.55 a barrel ahead of the August 15 meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, aimed at negotiating an end to the war in Ukraine. U.S. crude fell 0.53% to $63.62 a barrel.
