B&M shoppers rush to buy stylish home furniture scanning at just £20 instead of £200
SAVVY shoppers are flocking to B&M to get their hands on majorly discounted furniture.
One customer couldn't believe her luck after she nabbed a large oak cupboard originally priced at £200 for just £20.
1 A B&M customer landed an incredible deal in their local store Credit: B&M Scanner And Other Bargains!/Facebook
She and her daughter were browsing their local B&M and scanning items with the store's app to check if they had secret or early deals.
The pair stumbled across a 2-door 2-drawer sideboard made from premium oak and scanned the box to see if there was any chance of saving some cash.
To their delight, it had been reduced to £100, but things were about to get even better.
When the mother and daughter duo rocked up at the tills, the cashier scanned the flatpack box to reveal it was just £20.
That is a whopping saving of £180 in total.
The scanner is free to use – you just need to download the B&M app.
She shared a photo of the product on B&M Scanner and Other Bargains Facebook page and told other users that she 'still couldn't believe it'.
How does the B&M barcode scanner app work?
B&M shoppers say they've saved hundreds of pounds by using the store's free barcode scanner.
The tool allows them to discover discounted items before the staff have even reduced them.
Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift, or they're labelled 'big brands' and 'big savings'.
It's a terrific hack to use, especially since the cost of living keeps rising and inflation might hit 15% by the end of the year.
The scanner is completely free as well – you just need to download the B&M app.
Shoppers can download it on the App Store or Google Play.
Once you've got the app, click on the 'scan' button at the bottom of your homepage.
This will then bring up the camera on your smartphone, which you'll need to use to scan barcodes.
When you've found a product you want to scan, simply point your smartphone camera toward its barcode.
The app will then automatically bring up the item's price – this is when you'll know if it is reduced or not.

Impressed by the massive saving, one wrote: 'Bargain. I love it when something like this happens.'
'Wow, how lucky,' said a second.
A third shared their experience: 'Lots (of) furniture reduced. I found black and oak TV unit £90 down to £10 and breakfast bar table and two stools £60 down to £10.
'Today (I) got an electric stove fire £70 down to £15. Great find, well done.'
If you see something you like in the B&M sale it may be worth comparing prices online to ensure you are not missing a better deal somewhere else.
Sales also vary from store to store, so just because one branch offers amazing deals on something doesn't mean they all will.
You will also need to shop these offers in person as B&M does not have an online store.
With that in mind, it may be worth ringing your local store ahead of time to check stock levels to avoid a wasted trip.
You can find your nearest B&M by visiting bmstores.co.uk/stores.
It's not the only offer at B&M in recent weeks.
The popular store has launched a huge sale on garden kit, with the cheapest item selling for just £1.
Over 50 products have been reduced in price, including a Solar Table Lamp that is on sale for just £1.
The product, which can be used to light up your garden at night originally cost £1.50 but has had its price reduced by 33%.
And that is not all the retailer has also cut the price of Johnstone's Paint by 25% for those looking to do some DIY.
The paint usually goes for £15 at B&M but it is now scanning for £11.25.
Those looking to pick up some garden furniture also have a chance to save £150 on a Bali 8 Seater Dining Table Set, which now costs £350
Shoppers also have a chance to save £10 on a pop up gazebo that is now scanning for £50.

25 Wild Things Rich People Do That We've No Idea About
Last week, a question posted on the popular Ask Reddit forum caught my eye. In it, user bryany97 asked, "What's something rich people do that the average person has no idea about?" Here are some of the most interesting answers: "I made friends with a guy who was the captain of one of the yachts of a Russian oligarch." "Not me, but a friend of a friend worked for a crazy-rich family, and the wife had a surrogate for all of her kids. They were genetically hers and her husband's, but she wasn't interested in carrying them." "Kidnapping insurance." "With the exception of maybe a couple celebrity rich people, almost none of them think of themselves as rich; they all hold someone else who is even richer than them up as an example of someone who is actually rich." "With no planning, get in their plane, fly two hours for dinner, maybe spend the night, then fly home." "When their kids go to college, (very) rich people will buy them a condo rather than put them in a dorm. This is especially true in high-population/university-dense locations like Boston or NYC." "Doctors on call. I have several clients worth between 20-50 million and all of them pay a premium price for a doctor on call. Literally any time of the day." "They plan a vacation for tomorrow." "Their homes are owned by trusts and often operated by LLCs. Super easy to do, and it sets up a legal barrier between your property and yourself." "There are restaurants and social clubs hidden in plain sight that the general public has no idea even exist. They don't even advertise themselves. The only way you'd know is if someone with money brought you there (as I was)." "I know a rich person who has a 'Director of Continuity.' Their job is to make sure that every one of the family's homes has the same streaming services, magazine/newspaper subscriptions, food in the fridge, clothes in their closets..." "I knew a family that went on trips to exotic locations several times a year. They all traveled first class on different planes. In case something happened, it wouldn't greatly impact their business holdings." "Weekly deliveries of fresh flowers." "I worked at a place where the CEO sometimes wouldn't show up to the office, so we just chatted with his bodyguard because he had nothing to do. So, yeah, a bodyguard at the office — in case he wants to show up." "I work on Superyachts. I can't name any because of NDAs. This is what happens when the boss wants to go for lunch at their friend's villa:" "With the exception of celebrities, they don't use social media and maintain a strict sense of privacy. Rich people don't use Facebook." "My son's friend's grandfather was very wealthy. His friend said he would often just say 'let's go to Hawaii' (or wherever) and they'd all hop on his private jet and off they'd go for a few days. This guy was an incredible person." "Good friend is very wealthy! (Dot Com money). Anonymously gives his money to 'local non-profits'(NPOs). Some, he volunteers at. He specifically avoids national NPOs so he can see the local impact. Drives a 10-year-old Honda. Lives in a small, old home in Seattle that is impeccably furnished and maintained. I would kill to have his life!" "This may seem small and silly, but it's stuck with me. Someone who was a personal assistant to an ultra-wealthy person described how part of their duties was stocking their boss's personal bathroom, and their boss used a new full-size bar of soap for washing their hands, and then that full-size bar would be discarded." "My buddy had to go to some financial weekend retreat every year as a stipulation of his trust fund." "They run a family office." "I worked at a private aviation firm in college. It was the home base of Victoria's Secret/Express owner Les Wexner." "Replacing sheets constantly. I met someone a few years ago with 'old money' wealth, and hearing some of the things her family had a budget for that was bigger than my family's income was wild." "I saw a rich guy pay for a nice sailboat with $250,000 cash; and that sailboat was in fact 'farm equipment,' if anyone asks." And finally: "Rich people aren't good with money, they hire people who are good with money to manage theirs. They outsource everything." Well, these were wild. If you've ever witnessed some unbelievable things that rich people you know have done (or if you are a wildly rich person yourself), tell me about it down in the comments! Or, if you want, you can share via this anonymous form. Your story may be featured in a future BuzzFeed article! Please note: some comments have been edited for length and/or clarity.

I used Snapchat+ for a month and I can't get enough of its generative AI features — here's why
I've hit an age where I'm so late on hearing about social media trends that it's considered "cringe-worthy," and I've accepted the fact that I'll never be as cool as I was during the boom of Facebook during my teens. It comes as no surprise, then, that plenty of the most popular social media apps have past me by over the years, and that includes Snapchat. I mean, I dabbled with it back in its prime after its release in 2011 (the good 'ol iPhone 5 days), and then to touch base with pals in university. After that (and multiple smartphone changes), it faded from my home screen. But I'm mistaken, as Snapchat is very much still in its prime, and the platform has gone well beyond just being an app these days. It released its own pair of smart glasses, now evolved into the latest Snap Spectacles AR glasses that push augmented reality even further — and I had a whale of a time trying them out (and you will, too, with the company's recently announced Snap AR Glasses next year). Anyway, Snap's popularity really came to my attention when I was given the opportunity to try out Snapchat+. Me, using a premium subscription service for a social platform that offers complete control over how one interacts with, views and posts Stories? I was in for a trip. I signed up, made an account and and was flooded with a host of camera options, customizable filters and a never-ending reel of snappy videos. But most importantly, I was introduced to Snap's generative AI Lenses — and let me tell you, I've been entertained for weeks. We've seen viral AI image generation trends like turning yourself into an action figure with ChatGPT and the wild level of creativity Midjourney offers, and while Snap's own generative AI Lenses, along with its My AI chatbot and more, isn't the best around, it is some of the most fun I've had with an easy-access social media app. You can learn all you need to know about generative AI with our handy guide, but what exactly is Snapchat+? Snapchat+ is a subscription service that offers users access to exclusive, experimental and pre-release features that enhance and personalize their Snap experience. It's priced at $3.99 / £4.49 per month or $29.99 / £33.99 for an annual plan. Put simply, it offers a boatload of tools to make the most of the platform, such as Story Boost to get more views on a story over 24 hours, Replay Again to see a Snap twice, Peek a Peek to see if a friend is looking at a one-to-one or group chat, add a pet or car to your Bitmoji for all to see on Snap Map and plenty more. It also offers several AI features, like customizing the My AI chatbot to your liking, adding AI captions to your Snaps and exploring exclusive generative AI lenses as they come out. Then there's Snapchat Premium, which is the same as the Plus subscription but without any ads — so no sponsored Snap, Stories or Lens ads. Is it for everyone? No, and probably not for those like me that barely take pictures to post on a daily basis. But I can imagine what Snapchat+ can do for social media aficionados, whether they're small brands or big-time influencers. And judging by the 15 million Snapchat+ subscribers there are to date, it says a lot about the subscription service. I had no idea where to start with Snapchat, so I sat down with my partner and started scrolling through Lenses. If you're not in the know, these are AR overlays that apply digital effects, whether it's turning you into an anime character or making you look like Squidward. You'll know a Lens in Snapchat is powered by generative AI when it includes a sparkle"✨" icon, among other ways. There are millions of Lenses to try, and on the first attempt, we spent the better part of an hour just going through them all, and crying with laughter along the way. We came upon the New Hairstyle AI Lens, and in case you haven't noticed, I'm a proud member of the no-hair club. As a bald man, this Lens excited me, and it gave my partner a look at what could have been (also, there was one Lens that gave a bald look and, er, it didn't change a thing for me — so I guess it did a good job). The AI-generated images look more like my face is superimposed on a random body, but that didn't stop my partner from shedding a few tears (presumably because of its beauty, I hope?). Other fun ones include being made into a slender Atlantean king, as apparently that's my kingdom, being a bedazzled DJ at a royal party and dropping some "ye olde beats" as a Duke with not one, but two peace signs. The one of me at the royal party has the essence of my appearance, but more like a a version of me in another universe where I would actually attend a royal party. I could also use the My AI chatbot to describe the pictures I take, and from what it came up with, it could be fairly accurate. It could name a cup of coffee, and chopping board and more, and when taking a picture of myself and asking AI to fill in the caption, it said "bald and bearded - the ultimate combo!" So, thanks for that, I guess. There's also the option to send snaps to My AI, where it can ask you what something is. I took a snap of my partner's dog, asking the AI to describe what breed it was. It did say he's a puggle, a mix between a pug and a beagle, which wasn't far off (there's a bit of Jack Russel Terrier in there). It's clear Snapchat has done a lot with its own take on AI, but angled it as an amusing way to create fun, hilarious and silly images and videos that people can have a laugh with. But I've seen other ways it's been implemented, especially with its Spectacles for developers, and it's all to do with being able to communicate in new, creative ways. From sharing silly snaps or videos with friends and family to simply having a laugh, Snapchat+ offers oodles of entertainment. There can be some impressive generative AI here, and while it won't be the most realistic or detailed images or videos of yourself being part of a royal party or some other random situation like we've seen with Google's Veo 3, I have to remind myself that AI can just be fun. If you are looking to get creative and see how far you can push AI, you'll find the best AI image generators and best AI video generators will do the trick. Now, I'm off to see what other hairstyles I can whip up.
