One savvy shopper was recently browsing the aisles in her local B&M, when she noticed that a gorgeous white bedside drawer table had been slashed.
Originally priced at £45, using the B&M scanner app, Sammyjo Platt noticed that the stunning table had been discounted and was now available for just £1 - yes, you heard that correctly.
Overjoyed with her cheap find and epic saving of £44, Sammyjo quickly flocked to social media to alert others, leaving many totally stunned.
Posting on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, a private Facebook group with 2.6 million members, Sammyjo shared a picture of her new purchase - the Loft Studio 2 Drawer Bedside Table.
The gorgeous homeware piece is sure to add style to your bedroom in an instant.
It's super luxurious and the embossed drawers feature gold finish metal legs.
Not only is this table available in white, but there's also a grey option too.
Alongside her post, Sammyjo explained: 'Check your local B&M.
'Got them yesterday, some are still scanning at £35 but some are scanning at £1.'
Sammyjo confirmed that she nabbed her bedside table from a B&M store in Northwich.
The savvy shopper also shared a screenshot from the B&M app, proving that the bedside table was scanning at just £1.
The bedside tables are currently advertised at £35 on the B&M website, so you'll need to get your shoes at the ready if you want to nab it for just £1.
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.
The bargain buys are subject to availability and availability in your nearest store is not guaranteed.

EXCLUSIVE Small British firms cut back on hiring and growth efforts as financing dries up
Nearly a third of smaller UK firms have paused or axed parts of their businesses over the last two years in response to a lack of financing, research suggests. The cost of borrowing has soared since the Bank of England began hiking interest rates in 2022 and many small businesses are unable to obtain financing without shouldering crippling terms. YouGov data analysed by Manx Financial Group suggests 30 per cent of UK small- and medium-sized companies (SMEs) have been forced to cut back. Areas most likely to be paused of cut back include hiring, research and development, product launches, marketing, and market expansion efforts since 2023. Some 38 per cent now anticipate stagnation over the next year, up from 25 per cent in 2022, though 'most' believe they could grow by up to 13 per cent over the next 12 months if they had access to the right external finance, according to Manx. Just under a tenth of SMEs have been unable to secure external finance despite trying, with 33 per cent of firms citing high costs as the major barrier to borrowing. The UK Government defines SME as an organisation with fewer than 250 employees and a turnover of less than €50million (£42.4million) or a balance sheet total less than €43million. In efforts to boost smaller firms, the Govvernment raised the limit at which businesses start paying employer national insurance from £5,000 to £10,500 in December. This means 865,000 employers will pay nothing in national insurance contributions next year, according to the Government. But Manx chief executive Douglas Grant said the Government 'must prioritise targeted measures to unlock credit, boost lender collaboration, and accelerate growth'. And SMEs are unlikely to see a substantial reduction in borrowing costs anytime soon. The Bank of England is expected to hold base rate at its current level of 4.25 per cent next week as concerns about resurgent inflation outweigh signs of economic deterioration. However, current market pricing suggests the rate could fall as low as 3.75 per cent by year end with two more cuts of 25 basis points each. Other factors cited by firms struggling to borrow include inflexible repayment terms, lengthy processes and lenders' poor understanding of SME needs. Grant said: 'Accessing finance remains difficult, and this funding gap threatens not only their survival but also the broader UK economy. 'With SMEs generating around half of all private sector turnover, limited access to credit is a serious drag on national growth, especially during such volatile and uncertain times. 'While some firms have shielded themselves with fixed-rate debt, many others are now facing rising costs without a financial safety net.'

Refreshed Land Rover Discovery Sport comes with plug-in hybrid tech
While much of JLR's recent focus has been on its Jaguar, Range Rover and Defender brands, the Discovery range has also been given some love with the compact Discovery Sport getting a mild makeover and special editions offering more value. The Discovery Sport, which is available as a plug-in hybrid model with an all-electric range of up to 36 miles, now starts with a Dynamic S model costing from £51,320 for the PHEV model. The S gets sporty gloss black panels on the lower body sides, the front grille, around the wheel arches and lower bumpers. New alloy designs complete the new look outside, while inside there's a digital instrument cluster and a floating 11.4-inch curved glass touchscreen, with software that allows users to access up to 90 per cent of tasks within just two taps of the home screen. The Landmark model hints at the original 1990s Discovery with is mountain range logo, but also adds family-friendly features like 'click & go' media holders for back seat passengers and a panoramic roof. The Landmark plug-in hybrid model costs £54,160. Finally, a new Discovery Sport Metropolitan version mirrors the Metropolitan trim level recently launched in the full-size Discovery model with posher silver elements around the outside of the car, leather trim inside, powered front seats and a Meridian surround sound system. This new range-topper costs £59,545 for the PHEV version. In addition to the new models, Discovery has also added a selection of curated accessory packs. Beach Days offers a cooler for food and drink in the centre armrest, tailored sunshades and a boot organiser. Road Trip includes the Click & Go media holders, plus a roof box for extra luggage capacity. And Snowy Days is aimed at skiiers with a ski and snowboard carrier for the roof, plus rubber floor mats to keep the car protected and a Snow Traction System for extra grip in slippery conditions. These accessory packs join existing Discovery packs called Biking Adventures and For Dogs, which add suitably curated accessories. Discovery has analysed data from existing owners in 30 markets across the world finding that the average daily journey length is 32 miles. That means its PHEV models can cover up to 90 per cent of average daily journeys in EV mode assuming the battery is fully charged. Charging at a DC rapid charger can give a zero to 80 per cent charge in 30 minutes.

EV battery makers could create 18,000 jobs in the UK by 2030
The UK stands to benefit from 18,500 battery manufacturing jobs by 2030 with up to a quarter of a million jobs created across Europe, according to research from New AutoMotive. With an estimated 62,274 people already employed across Europe in the battery supply chain, total jobs could top 300,000 by 2030 assuming the EU and UK maintain their current targets for electric vehicles. The analysis in new energy focus group New AutoMotive's Battery Supply Chain Tracker focuses on the growth of Gigafactories, where new batteries are made, and battery recycling. The job numbers could be even higher when the wider supply chain is taken into account. The Battery Supply Chain Tracker comes in the form of an app with an interactive map which gives a view of existing and future projects cataloguing mining, refining, electrodes, gigafactories, and the recycling sectors. Ben Nelmes, CEO of New AutoMotive said: 'Jobs in gigafactories and electric car manufacturing are not just a vague promise of the future, they are today's reality. We found that behind the headlines, Europe has a thriving and rapidly growing battery supply chain, creating jobs and contributing to economic growth. 'But this growth is not guaranteed. The development of this exciting and innovative sector depends on growing electric car sales. Europe needs ambitious policies that encourage carmakers to boost their electric car production, so that Europe can take its place in the global economy as a significant producer of the technologies that will deliver clean, cheap, modern transport.' New AutoMotive's research comes days after former defence secretary Lord Hutton launched a Policy Commission to address the UK's need for battery manufacturing across the energy, defence, transport and tech sectors. The cross-party Commission will consult with stakeholders from across industry, government, academia, and investors, and is set to publish its findings and recommendations early in 2026. Lord Hutton said: "Batteries are no longer just a tech issue or an energy issue – they are a national strategic imperative. The UK cannot afford to remain dependent on foreign supply chains for such a vital component of our economic and energy future. This Commission will ask the difficult questions and provide bold but realistic and politically deliverable recommendations to put Britain on the front foot." Both New AutoMotive's latest tracker and the new Policy Commission come as the government is expected to launch its Industrial Strategy in the coming weeks, and at a time when the UK is still negotiating new trade deals. Commenting on the potential jobs highlighted by the Battery Supply Chain Tracker, Chris Heron, Secretary General of European e-mobility trade association E-Mobility Europe, said: 'Hundreds and thousands of jobs are still to play for, across Europe's battery value chain. 'But we need Europe to level up its political support for scaling-up local projects. We can guide policymakers to act with a clear quantification of where investments are happening across their territories. Today's new battery map is a valuable tool here.' Simon Smith, CCO of UK public charging company InstaVolt which recently opened the UK's largest charging superhub, said: 'The sector, from batteries to charging infrastructure, is a huge, huge, opportunity to deliver the jobs of the future across the continent. This interactive map shines a spotlight on just how big the opportunity is.'
