Some items may also be specifically made for the outlet shoppers.

The beloved retailer has over 20 outlet stores across popular shopping centres in the UK.

Products on sale can be either goods that customers have returned that are still in good condition or they may be slightly damaged.
In the past, shoppers have managed to get their hands on a sofa for just £49.90 instead of £499 by shopping in one of these branches.
How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you'll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M's scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you'll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.

Frasers Group is on sale – but you'll have to be brave to buy

For years, Sports Direct owner Frasers was an immense force on the British high street. It made big money and investors were richly rewarded, but the past 12 months have been more challenging, and the shares have slipped back to bargain basement territory. To Questor, this looks like an opportunity for brave investors to pick up stock for peanuts. Anyone prepared to look through near-term issues might find a lot to like. Frasers is not only a master of getting consumers to fill their baskets every time they shop in its sporting goods stores, but has also successfully moved upmarket. What's truly exciting is the potential to be a much bigger name overseas, and it's this international growth potential that seems to have been missed by the market so far. Success in the UK lays the blueprint to apply its retailing expertise in multiple geographies, and diversification in terms of where and how it makes money is only a positive from an investment perspective. Patience will be required, as the ongoing challenges from its latest results prove. Employment-related costs have gone up in the UK as a result of the most recent Budget, which means there is pressure to find new ways to save money and make operations more efficient.

Ministers must protect value of state pension as it is lifeline for many

The sad reality is people drawing their pension 25 years from now are set to be £800, or eight per cent, worse off per year than their counterparts today. The governments of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown made huge strides in cutting pensioner poverty. ‌ Introducing pension credit helped millions of low-income pensioners and retirement savings were boosted, But every generation faces fresh challenges and this one is no different. ‌ The sad reality is people drawing their pension 25 years from now are set to be £800, or eight per cent, worse off per year than their counterparts today. ‌ Four in 10 – nearly 15million people – are not saving enough for retirement. Young people are in a bind caused by the cost-of-living crisis. Their incomes are squeezed and they are paying an outrageous amount of their net income on rent. Many people want to save more for when they retire but simply cannot afford to do so. One of the issues the UK-wide Poverty Commission is expected to look at is the challenges facing the low-paid and the estimated three million self-employed people who are not saving into a pension. ‌ Labour must take a values-based position into pension reform. Ministers must protect the value of the state pension as it is a lifeline for many people. Labour is right to encourage people to save more for their retirement if they can. But they must also provide greater incentives for people on modest incomes to find the spare cash. Part of this involves turning the corner on the cost-of-living crisis so that people have more money in their pockets. Keir Starmer has the chance to be as bold as previous Labour Prime Ministers and he must seize the opportunity. ‌ Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Identity scandal The public's right to be protected from beasts like Connor Tait does not end when they are let out jail. The 32-year-old hid in a bush and pounced on the child who was walking home from football training in 2013. ‌ He was released from jail in 2023 and has recently changed his identity – using the name 'Connie Duncan' – while advertising himself on social media as a cleaner and dog walker. Ash Regan MSP is right when she says the case underlines a deeply troubling reality that when sexual offenders can change their identity without proper safeguards. How can it be right that a convicted paedophile can simply adopt a new identity and begin advertising services to enter people's homes? Public safety must be put first. Tait should not be allowed anywhere near any family's home. We need robust checks and transparency to prevent offenders from simply reinventing themselves and potentially putting others at risk.
