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.

Hozo Design M-Cube 02 review: hands-free laser level sticks directly to surfaces
Hozo Design M-Cube 02 Anti-Gravity Laser Level is a clever hands-free laser version of a spirit level. It is capable of the most precise wall measurement and alignment. It's such a tool useful for all manner of DIY projects thanks to its brilliant suction mounting system that means it can sit securely on any wall or surface, once it is relatively smooth or slightly textured, leaving both of your hands free to do the job in hand. The firm said that it's compatible with most wall materials, including drywall, brick, concrete, wood and stone.

This one features a vacuum pump that attaches directly to your working surface with plenty of suction every time. It comes with EPDM rubber suction cups that ensure a firm hold without causing any damage to your walls. M-Cube 02 has horizontal and vertical levelling beams and laser-based distance measuring which allow you to mark exactly where your fittings should go without the need for a separate tape measure. It allows you to measure in Imperial or Metric.

This is ideal for room layout planning, aligning wall art with symmetry and evenly spacing furniture. You can use the M-Cube 02 as a high-precision laser level, complete with horizontal and vertical bubble indicators, or take it to another level by pairing it with an original M-Cube for advanced digital angle readouts.

And I'd imagine anyone in the building trade would find it an essential and helpful tool. Pricing and availability Hozo Design M-Cube 02 Anti-Gravity Laser Level costs €175.50 (on Amazon), or the Pro version (with the Green Laser Measure) costs €207.95 from Hozo, while or the Premium Combo bundle costs €268.95, also from Hozo.

Fortnite threatens to NEVER return to iPhones in the UK as game bosses slam ‘bleak' changes
FORTNITE fans have been dealt a huge blow as makers Epic have warned the game may never return to iPhones in the UK. The massively popular online title has been missing from the App Store since 2020 Advertisement 3 Fortnite has been locked in legal battles against Apple and Google Credit: Getty 3 The iOS version of Fortnite has been absent from the App Store since 2020 Credit: Getty Epic wants to launch its own app store, known as the Epic Games Store. So far, it's managed to land in the EU - and Fortnite has returned to iOS in the US too. The firm had hoped to bring the Epic Games Store to the UK in the second half of 2025. But in an update, the gaming giant says its return here is now looking "uncertain". Advertisement Read more about Fortnite Epic Games blames the competition regulator, the CMA, for "choosing not to prioritize opening the mobile ecosystem to alternative app stores this year". It described the CMA's latest proposals to improve mobile platforms as "bleak". "We can't bring the Epic Games Store to iOS in the UK this year (if ever), and Fortnite's return to iOS in the UK is now uncertain," bosses said. "Four years after concluding that the App Store and Google Play Store are parallel monopolies the CMA has done nothing to allow competing stores." Advertisement Most read in Gaming Exclusive Epic drew upon a recent US court order victory, which it says has benefited other popular apps like Spotify. " Unless Apple and Google are completely blocked from imposing fees and discriminating against apps using out-of-app payment, we can expect years of malicious compliance ahead, and no genuine restoration of market competition ," Epic added. I'm a gamer granny & I'm hooked on Fortnite – now I've landed deal with huge global brand The firm said it will introduce the Epic Games Store and Fortnite to other countries, including Brazil and Japan, later this year. Android users are able to access Fortnite via the Epic Games Store but only by downloading it outside of the Google Play Store - a workaround Apple doesn't allow on iOS for security and safety.
