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.

Second bid for Benjamin Sesko could move forward closer to Newcastle switch
Newcastle have submitted a second bid for RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko, the PA news agency understands. The Magpies had an initial offer, reportedly worth £65.4million with a further £4.3m in potential add-ons, rejected last week for the Slovenia international, who has also been linked with Manchester United. An improved offer of £69.7m plus add-ons has now been submitted to the Bundesliga club, it is understood. Recent reports in Slovenia claimed the 22-year-old would prefer a move to St James' Park rather than Old Trafford, while he was left out of Leipzig's squad for Saturday's friendly against Atalanta. Should Newcastle succeed in landing Sesko, capped 41 times by Slovenia and who scored 21 goals in 45 appearances in all competitions for Leipzig last season, it could have a huge bearing on the future of striker Alexander Isak. Newcastle have rejected a £110million bid from Liverpool for the Sweden international, who had been training at former club Real Sociedad after revealing he could be open to a move. Isak headed back to Tyneside on Monday morning for showdown talks with Newcastle boss Eddie Howe as the rest of the squad returned from their pre-season trip to Singapore and South Korea. The Magpies are also pursuing an interest in Brentford's Yoane Wissa and the success of bringing in one, or both, of their targets could be key to what happens with Isak. Should Howe be satisfied with the 25-year-old's commitment, Newcastle will be keen to keep hold of a player who scored 23 goals in 34 Premier League appearances last season and whose contract runs until the summer of 2028.

National living wage likely to rise to £12.71 next year, advisory body estimates
The national living wage could rise by as much as 65p an hour next year, an advisory body has estimated, as the terms of its annual review of wage rates were published. Ministers are determined to deliver 'a genuine living wage', according to the Low Pay Commission's (LPC) latest remit for increasing the so-called national living wage – the UK minimum wage for workers aged 21 and older. At the moment, the national living wage is £12.21 an hour. The LPC estimates that this will need to increase to £12.71 in 2026 to not fall below two-thirds of median earnings: the threshold which the Government expects it to stay above. But the LPC acknowledged the national living wage could rise to as much as £12.86 an hour, or as little as £12.55 an hour, depending on changing economic conditions. Founded in 1997, the advisory body provides recommendations to ministers each autumn regarding how it believes the minimum wage should be changed. The Government ultimately sets minimum wage rates for the following April after this advice. A letter from Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said the committee must take into account the cost of living as it reviews the national living wage. The two senior ministers insisted the Government was 'committed to ensuring that the minimum wage is a genuine living wage'. They added: 'We continue to recognise that our ambition should be backed by evidence, and that the minimum wage rate should be consistent with delivering inclusive growth for working people and businesses alike. 'We are therefore asking the LPC to recommend a national living wage rate that is at least two-thirds of UK median earnings for workers aged 21 and over, to apply from next April, which takes into account the cost of living, effects on employment and developments in the wider economy.' Elsewhere, the Government is pushing forward with plans to end 'discriminatory' age banding for the minimum wage, and has extended the LPC's remit to examine this. It said the LPC will consult with employers, trade unions and workers on narrowing the gap between the national living wage and the minimum wage rate for 18 to 20-year-olds, which is currently £10. There is also a minimum wage for those aged under 18, and apprentices, of £7.55. The LPC will report back in October with advice to the Government on how much the minimum wage should rise by in 2026. The Resolution Foundation, a think tank which works to improve living standards, suggested the Government was using 'ambitious language' on increasing the minimum wage, but in reality was adopting a cautious approach. Nye Cominetti, principal economist at the think tank, said: 'Despite the Government's ambitious language around 'delivering a genuine living wage', the new remit for the Low Pay Commission represents a steady-as-she-goes approach to the adult rate, after faster increases in the years preceding 2024. 'This caution is warranted given worrying labour market data, which is thanks in part to the Government's increase in employer national insurance contributions in April.'

This is now UK's cheapest supermarket
Lidl has surpassed Aldi to become the UK 's cheapest supermarket for the first time in nearly two years, according to a July price analysis by consumer group Which?. The analysis of 76 grocery products revealed Lidl's average basket cost £128 with a loyalty card, marginally less than Aldi's £129.25. Both discount retailers were significantly more affordable than other supermarkets, with Tesco costing approximately £17 more and Waitrose, the most expensive, costing £40 more at £170.91. Which? noted that loyalty cards offer substantial savings, particularly at supermarkets such as Tesco and Sainsbury 's, while Morrisons did not outperform competitors on price. The ongoing price competition among supermarkets is driven by high food inflation and the cost of living crisis, leading many consumers to alter their shopping habits in search of better value.
