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.

B&M brings back ‘blast from the past' retro sweets after 20 YEARS as shoppers race to fill trolleys
B&M fans are in a frenzy after spying retro sweets back on shelves. Eagle-eyed shoppers are delighted by the find, calling the sweets a "blast from the past". 2 2 Posting in the Food Finds UK Official Facebook group, a public group with 560,000 members, one shopper beamed: "A blast from the past, found in B&M." Alongside the post, she shared a picture of Horlicks Original Tablets, which were priced at £1.75, in the bargain retailer. The chewable version of the malted beverage originally launched in the 1930s, and was given to troops in WW2 to help boost their energy. They remained popular into the 1980s, but had disappeared from shelves by the end of the 20th century. However, back in 2023, Horlicks brought back the sweets, for its 150th anniversary. Horlicks revealed that it brought the sweets back "in response to unprecedented demand from consumers across the nation." And now, two years on from the relaunch, the sweets have been spotted again in B&M stores. The post was flooded with comments from excited shoppers, sharing their love for the sweets. One person said: "I haven't see these in ages omg." Another person said: "They've been reduced to 10p in ours." 'So excited' say Cadbury Ireland fans as new chocolate bar flavour to hit shelves TODAY Others tagged their friends to let them now about the find. This follows speculation that another popular snack, which was discontinued in 2003, is returning to stores. TikToker Minstrel Munches recently caused a buzz on social media, after speculating that White Maltesers will be making a return to stores. In a recent TikTok post, she said: "They are coming back. How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger. "They are expected to be released in the middle of June or the start of July." The popular Food Finds UK Official Facebook group also claimed that the chocolate is making a comeback, but Mars has yet to comment on the claims. And chocolate fans were left devastated recently, after Fry's Coffee Cream bars were discontinued by Cadbury. The British chocolate makers said: "We continuously adapt our product range to ensure it meets changing tastes whilst supporting growth for our customers and our business. 'Our Fry's Coffee Cream multi-packs were introduced as a limited-edition product in summer 2023 for fans to enjoy while stocks lasted. "They have since been discontinued but we still have plenty of other delicious Fry's products for consumers to choose from, including Fry's Chocolate Cream and Fry's Peppermint Cream Multipacks."
