B&M shoppers rush to buy ‘fab' kitchen gadget scanning for just 10p
B&M shoppers are racing to buy a "fab" kitchen gadget scanning at the tills for just 10p. The discounter has slashed the price of the nifty device that's ideal for batch cooking. 2 2 One shopper recently spotted the Morphy Richards 3.5litre slow cooker at the bargain price, posting a photo of the find on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group. The post has received plenty of attention from fellow savvy savers in awe at the deal. One said: "Well done. what a fab buy". Another commented: "Such a good find." A third added: "I never get bargains like this." Bear in mind, your local B&M store might not have the slow cooker in stock and, if it does, it might not be available for 10p. If you're thinking of heading to your nearest store, it might be worth calling ahead to see if they have any available and that price. You can find your local B&M store, its opening hours and phone number via In any case, always shop around when buying a product like this as you might find it cheaper elsewhere. You can use websites like Price Spy, Price Runner and Trolley to compare prices on thousands of products. Top products to always buy at B&M The Google Shopping/Product tab is helpful if you want to quickly scan the internet and compare prices on items as well. We checked out how much other retailers are selling the same 3.5litre Morphy Richards slow cooker for and no one has it cheaper than 10p. Argos has priced it at £45, Amazon for £29.79 and Wilko for £43.99. If you're looking for 10p bargains at B&M, there is one trick you can use - the B&M scanner app. The app can be downloaded for free on to your smartphone via the Apple App Store or Google Play. It has a barcode price check feature which lets you scan product labels in-store to find out their true price. It sometimes shows up products that have been slashed to just 10p. The app also offers you a description of the product you are scanning. How else to save money at B&M The best time to get cut-price products is 10am on a Wednesday, according to one ex B&M manager. This is when staff slash items to as little as 10p to clear excess stock and make way for new products. It's worth signing up to Facebook pages dedicated to hunting for bargains from B&M and other discounters too. Some worth joining are and Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group. Meanwhile, B&M super shopper Sam Penney recently revealed her six top tips for bagging a bargain at the discount chain. This included looking out for red and white stickers on products which are placed on items which have been reduced in price. Sam also said it's worth speaking to B&M workers who can scan items and let you know if something is cheaper than its advertised price label. 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 and are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer. Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. 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.

Households on benefits including Universal Credit urged to apply for free £200 cash NOW
We reveal below what to do if you're not eligible for one of the £200 payments BANK BOOST Households on benefits including Universal Credit urged to apply for free £200 cash NOW Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HOUSEHOLDS on benefits including Universal Credit are being urged to apply for £200 in free cash NOW. The help comes via the Household Support Fund (HSF) which is worth £742million and has been shared between councils in England. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Households have been urged to apply for £200 free cash payments Credit: Getty Councils are currently in the process of distributing their share of the fund - but what support you can get varies depending on where you live. Wealden District Council has opened applications for residents - and free cash worth £200 is up for grabs. To qualify, you need to be aged 18 or older, living in the Wealden District Council Local Authority area and be receiving one of four benefits: Universal Credit (that also includes the Housing Costs element) Housing Benefit Council Tax Reduction an SMI (severe mental impairment) exemption and would therefore otherwise be entitled to a Council Tax Reduction You can only apply for one of the £200 payments now if you meet the criteria above and did not receive help through the previous round of HSF, which ran from October 2024 to March this year. Only one application can be made per household and will be paid into your bank account within 14 days of a successful claim. Further details on how to apply can be found via This funding comes as part of phase one of Wealden District Council's allotment of its share of the current round of HSF. The second phase will be held between October 1 and March 31, 2026, when anyone who received help in the previous round of HSF can apply for a £200 payment. The same eligibility criteria for phase one will apply to phase two. Three key benefits that YOU could be missing out on, and one even gives you a free TV Licence What about if I don't live in Wealden? You may be eligible to get support through the HSF if you don't live in Wealden. However, it depends on where you live. This is because each council sets it own eligibility criteria. However, the Household Support Fund, which was first established in 2021, is designed to help those on low incomes, benefits or classed as vulnerable. So, if you fit into any of these three categories, the chances are you will qualify for support. The best thing to do is visit your local council's website where most have a page dedicated to the Household Support Fund. Or, you can contact your local council's customer service helpline to inquire. The latest round of Household Support Fund runs until March 31, 2026, and some councils have already opened up for applications. Households in Birmingham are being urged to apply for £200 payments. Meanwhile, low income households in North Northamptonshire can apply for supermarket vouchers worth up to £320. Other help if you're on a low income It's worth checking if you're eligible for benefits if you haven't already - it could boost your bank balance by thousands of pounds a year. If you're struggling with the cost of food, check where your nearest food bank is. The Trussell Trust has hundreds of food banks across the UK, and you can find your nearest one here - The Trust's food banks issue emergency parcels to people who cannot afford to cover costs themselves. Meanwhile, if you have fallen behind on your energy bills, you might be able to get a grant to wipe any debt. British Gas and Octopus Energy, the UK's two biggest energy firms, both run schemes offering customers grants worth up to £2,000.

Save £100 on 'game changer' wireless earbuds with near-perfect rating and 'fantastic sound'
These sports earbuds fit snugly thanks to their earhooks and are a 'game changer' for workouts. Wireless earbuds have become a part of daily life for many of us. Whether that's heading for a stroll, commuting to work, or, for the more fitness -minded, heading for a run or hitting the gym. The Bluetooth connectivity means there's no faffing about with wires, which makes them extra handy. Big name brands have some of the top products, like the Apple AirPods, but these come with a hefty price tag. Thankfully, over on Amazon, the Hupoaf Wireless Earbuds are enjoying an 82 per cent discount. Dropping from £129.99 to just £23.99, you can currently save over £100 on these "game changer" products. It should be noted that this deal is exclusive to Prime members. The Hupoaf Wireless Earbuds offer "crystal clear calls", according to Amazon, thanks to their Hi-Fi stereo surround sound and upgraded Bluetooth 5.4 technology. They boast up to 50 hours of playtime, thanks to the portable charging case, which handily lets you know your battery percentage. These earbuds have been designed for fitness with a "soft and flexible" earhook structure to fit snugly around your ears without falling out. Thanks to their comfort and stability, as well as being waterproof, they are a great choice for running or workouts. There are three colourways to choose from; black, rose gold, and pink - though the latter two are £24.99. Each earbud has multi-function touch panels to allow you to easily take calls or change the volume, and they are super lightweight at just 6g. For those looking at the higher end of the scale, Apple's AirPods Pro 2 are currently £229 on Argos, where they boast a 4.8-star rating from over 1,400 reviews. Shoppers after a more budget-friendly can pick up Cillso's Wireless Earbuds on Amazon for £19.99. They come in four colours and, like the Hupoaf earbuds, are currently enjoying a hefty price cut. Customers have raved over the Hupoaf Wireless Earbuds, which have a near-perfect 4.9-star rating on Amazon. One user said: "These wireless sports earphones are a real game changer for my workout. "The earhook design is brilliant — they fit securely no matter how hard I work out, which was a big problem with other earphones. The sound quality is fantastic, with clear sound and just the right bass to motivate me." Another shopper described them as "a fantastic choice for anyone looking for reliable, high-quality headphones for workouts or daily use." They added: "The earhooks provide a secure fit, even during intense activities, and the IP7 waterproof rating ensures they hold up against sweat and rain. "The sound quality is impressive, delivering clear audio and strong bass, while the dual LED display makes it easy to keep track of the battery level. Overall, these earbuds offer great value for anyone who needs durable and comfortable wireless headphones for running, gym, or everyday use." The earbuds have proved so popular that there are only a handful of three or four-star reviews, and nothing below that. A couple of otherwise satisfied customers did mention that the sound wasn't quite as good as the big brands. Tech deal of the week Shoppers keen to take their fitness to the next level would benefit from purchasing a smartwatch. One of which is on the popular Jugeman Smartwatch. Normally retailing for £99.99, shoppers can now snap up this 4.8 star rated gadget with the pink strap for only £22.79 in a limited time deal. Boasting a 1.92-inch HD touch screen, shoppers can truly make this smartwatch their own as it comes with over 220 personalised watch faces to choose from. Featuring an ultra lightweight design to provide a comfortable and relaxed fit, the smartwatch will monitor your heart rate throughout the day as well as analyse your sleep. On top of this, the budget watch can track over 113 sports and monitor how many calories you have burned. Shoppers will also be able to use a range of other features, such as music control, weather forecast, find my phone, as well as receive calls, texts and social media notifications One delighted shopper said: "I'm genuinely impressed with this smartwatch! It looks sleek and modern, and the bright display is easy to read even in daylight. The features are exactly what I need fitness tracking, notifications, heart rate monitoring, and more. "The orange strap adds a fun and sporty touch, and it's surprisingly comfortable to wear all day. Setup was quick and straightforward, and the battery life is better than expected. For the price, this watch offers outstanding value. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an affordable yet high-quality fitness tracker!" To buy the Jugeman Smartwatch, click HERE. One such review read: "Since they are headphones for less than £25, don't expect TOP sound quality. It lacks clarity, it sounds a little dirty; having said that, of course, they sound very good considering the price." Someone else rated the sound a 8/10, saying they were "perfect for sports use" but that users shouldn't "expect studio audio". Another five-star reviewer raved about using the earbuds for exercise. They said: "A lightweight pair of earbuds that loop over the ears is reassuring for jogs, intense sports, or random house chores. After many uses, the fit never caused soreness, and they slip back into the case for a quick recharge." To get the Hupoaf Wireless Earbuds for just £23.99, click HERE.
