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.

Martin Lewis reveals little-known suncream tip that could save YOU money – and it's all about a three digit number
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MARTIN Lewis has revealed a little-known sun cream tip that could help you save some cash. As temperatures of 34 degrees hit some parts of the UK today, a clip from the financial guru's hit podcast has been recirculated. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Martin Lewis has shared a hack to help shoppers save money on sun cream Credit: Rex Martin shared a hack with listeners of his self titled podcast to help them get more longevity out of their sun cream. When shopping for the lotion, which protects you from sunburn and skin damage, the money pro encouraged customers to turn the bottle around. He said there should be a PAO number on the back of the bottle which details "how long the sunscreen is still going to give you protection for once you've opened it". The guru added that customers should make a note of when they open it so "you'll know if you try to use it in a year's time, whether it's still valid or not". 'Hopefully, if you've got 24 months, you won't need to buy a new one thinking, 'Oh, I'd better chuck that away — it's too old,' because it'll still be valid.' PAO stands for Period After Opening and can often be indicated by an open jar icon on the back of sun cream and other toiletry products. Inside the icon there will usually be a figure - such as 12 months - to show how long the product is effective after opening. It comes as the UK has welcomed another weekend of warm weather, with many stocking up on sun cream to protect their skin. For example, the Hawaiian Tropic Factor 30 sun cream has a PAO of 12 months. And with the summer holidays well and truly underway, Martin has shared a number of hacks to help Brits jetting off on their holidays. HMRC Spying on Social Media, M&S Giving Away Free Cakes, & Unemployment at Four-Year-High – Money News Today The brains behind MoneySavingExpert has also shared a quick tip to save money while overseas. Martin Lewis said: 'When you go abroad and you pay on plastic and the overseas cash machine or shop asks you: Do you want to pay in pounds or euros? What do you do? 'Well, the correct answer is you should always pay in euros or whatever the local currency is.' Martin said that by choosing to pay in euros your credit card company or bank works out the currency exchange rate for you. But if you choose to pay in pounds then the calculations are left up to the overseas bank, shop or restaurant's bank. This is known as dynamic currency exchange and could mean you end up paying a much worse exchange rate. Martin Lewis added that the best situation would be if you had an overseas debit or credit card that gives you a near perfect exchange rate. MORE SUMMER HACKS With summer in full swing, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the weather without spending a fortune. If you have children, why not avail of the range of free activities available for kids up and down the UK. That includes Pets at Home "My Pet Pals" summer workshop. These events will run until Sunday August 17 in Scotland and Northern Ireland . And will run until Sunday August 31 in England and Wales. These workshops focus on the five needs of animal welfare, with a different theme each week of the holidays. Kids will receive a pocketbook full of activities, a My Pet Pals certificate, and have the chance to meet some animals. Families can also head to the cinema for £1 per person at Cineworld locations. These movies are not the latest releases but include big hits from the past year or so including Paddington and the Minecraft Movie.

M&S is handing out free cakes to shoppers – how to get a box
M&S IS handing out free cakes to shoppers - here is how you can your hand on a box. Shoppers could not believe their luck after they discovered the offer, which is will allow them to get a free cake worth £4.25. Savvy shoppers shared the find on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, writing: "If you're part of the parenthood club on M&S Sparks, they're giving out free cakes worth £4.25 for their 1 year birthday! Lots to choose from." According to the bargain hunters, those part of the club have a choice of 13 cakes to choose from, including red velvet cake and carrot cake. The beloved high street chain is giving away the treat to celebrate one year of the loyalty scheme. Others were quick to chime in and thank the shopper for flagging the deal. While another shopper was completely unaware the popular food and clothing store had a club for parents. They said: "I didn't know they had a parent club, how did you join it?". To qualify for the offer you first need to be a Sparks Member, which is M&S's free loyalty scheme. It gives shoppers the chance to get offers that are tailored to them. You will also then need to register for the M&S Parenthood Club. This can be done if you go into the "My Account" section of your Sparks app and then click on "Subscriptions & clubs". You should see the option to register for Parent Hood. It is free to sign up for this club but you must be an expectant parent or have a child under two years old. Once you register, you should see the offer to claim the free cake of your choice in store. And it is not only free cake that shoppers can get their hands on. The retailer is also giving away Piccolo food pouches for shoppers who visit one of its cafes. In the past, shoppers have also had a chance to pick up a packet of their Outrageously Chocolatey Milk Chocolate Biscuits. And it is not only free sweets and treats that parents can get their hands on. Families can save on essential items including clothing for babies, bedding, as well as maternity and nursing bras. Once customers join the parent hood and sign the "Parent Pledge", they get access to two initial offers. One of them is a year-long 10% discount on baby grows - for example, a five-pack of pure cotton sleepsuits, usually costing £15.50, will be £13.95. They can also enjoy a free slice of cake, pastry or a fruit pot, every week when you buy a hot drink at a M&S cafe. MORE FREEBIES FOR PARENTS M&S is not the only store that offers deals and discounts for parents. Boots has a parent club for Boots Advantage Card holders who are expecting a baby or have children under 5. It offers benefits like extra points on baby products and free gifts. In the past, shoppers have gotten free Pampers nappies and a 250ml bottle of Aveeno baby hair and body wash. The programme also gives free gifts at key stages of your baby's development and parenting advice. Ella's Kitchen gives parents vouchers for its food pouches when they sign up for its "Ella's Friends" loyalty scheme. The package also comes with a free baby weaning chart to map your child's progress. You can find out more by visiting What help is available for parents? CHILDCARE can be a costly business. Here is how you can get help. 30 hours free childcare - Parents of three and four-year-olds can apply for 30 hours free childcare a week. To qualify you must usually work at least 16 hours a week at the national living or minimum wage and earn less than £100,000 a year. Tax credits - For children under 20, some families can get help with childcare costs. Childcare vouchers - If your employer offers childcare vouchers you can get up to £55 a week in tax and national insurance savings. You pay for your childcare before your tax contributions are taken out. This scheme is open to new joiners until October 4, 2018, when it is planned that tax-free childcare will replace the vouchers. Tax-free childcare - Available to working families and the self-employed, for every £8 you put in the government will add an extra £2.
