B&M shoppers rush to buy trendy furniture set scanning at just £40 instead of £110 giving your living room a spruce
The discounter is shifting the cut-price Chicago table, which comes with two benches, at a 63% discount.

One eagle-eyed customer spotted the bargain in their local B&M branch, posting a picture of it on the B&M Scanner and Other Bargains Facebook page.
The post has notched up hundreds of likes and comments from shoppers amazed at the deal.
One simply said: "Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!"
Meanwhile, a third added: "I would love this."
Shoppers who want to buy the table themselves will have to head to their nearest B&M to see if there are any in stock as the retailer doesn't offer a home delivery service.
Just bear in mind you might not find it at the same discounted price.
The shopper who posted the table on the B&M Scanner and Other Bargains Facebook page said they found it at a branch in Redruth, Cornwall, although it is not clear if there are any left at that price at that shop.
The table isn't listed on the B&M website either, but the post suggests the table is 1.1metre wide, 0.7m deep and 0.75m tall.
The table can carry a maximum load of 100kg while the benches can support up to 200kg - enough to fit the whole family.
Top products to always buy at B&M
How to bag a bargain at B&M
B&M, founded in 1978, is already known for selling items at bargain prices - so much so the retailer is expanding across the UK.
The discounter is opening 45 stores across the UK this year.
But there are ways to save even more, starting with using the B&M scanner app.
It is free to download onto your smartphone via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
The app lets you use the camera on the your phone to scan barcodes and see what the price of an item is.
It can take time, but it sometimes shows up a price that's different to the one being advertised on the label.
Shoppers have used the app previously to find products scanning for just 10p. The app also gives you a product description.
Meanwhile, B&M super shopper Sam Penney recently revealed her six top tips for bagging a bargain at the discount chain.
The mum-of-two advised customers to look out for red and white stickers on products.
These are not used by B&M often, but are worth keeping an eye out for as they are placed on products which have been reduced in price.
Sam, who founded the B&M Scanner and Other Bargains Facebook page, also said shoppers will get the best bargains on Wednesday mornings.
This is when products are slashed in price by staff.
The bargain hunter 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.
In other B&M news, shoppers have been rushing to buy home furniture scanning for £15 down from £35.
Plus, customers also recently found Croc dupes on sale for just 10p instead of £5 - a whopping 98% discount.
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 vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk 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.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you'll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.

How teens can land a Saturday job this summer, earn cash and boost their CV
SCHOOL'S out for summer and thousands of teenagers are looking for ways to earn extra cash. Traditionally, young people took on a Saturday job to make money, but increasing levels of employer regulation have made it harder for firms to hire under-18s. 4 The last survey on Saturday work carried out in 2020 found only a quarter of 16 and 17-year-olds had a regular job, down from 48 per cent in 1997. And experts think the figure is even lower now. However, weekend working helps young people build skills, improves their CV and helps them get 'work ready' for when they leave school or college. While finding a Saturday job is undoubtedly harder than it used to be, it's not impossible. To help, we've teamed up with expert Natalie Ellis from Rebox HR to share her expert advice. She said: 'Saturday jobs have long been a rite of passage for teens in the UK, offering pocket money and valuable life skills.' Here's how to find work as a 16 or 17-year-old . . . Start with a CV: There are lots of free templates online. Include any voluntary work, school or weekend clubs you attend plus any events you have helped organise. Add in two people who can act as a referee — perhaps a teacher or someone in a position of authority you have helped. Look digitally: Job sites such as Indeed or Reed are brilliant for finding local opportunities. Social media platforms, especially Nextdoor and local community groups on Facebook, can be goldmines for job postings. Look locally: Don't dismiss traditional methods. Local newspapers and notice boards often advertise positions not listed online. Check shop windows and local businesses as many smaller establishments still prefer the personal touch of a walk-in application. River Island confirms which 33 stores are shutting as a further 70 at risk in huge shake-up – is your local going? Your school careers service may have links with local employers who understand the legal framework for employing young people. Being proactive gets results: Employers love people who are motivated. Don't be shy about dropping off your CV at local shops, cafés and businesses. Get networking: Consider attending local networking events where business owners gather. It might feel intimidating at first but remember that about 80 per cent of jobs are never formally advertised. These personal connections can lead to opportunities you'd never find online. Sign up to LinkedIn: A LinkedIn profile can help you network professionally, even at a young age. It shows employers you are serious about your career path. Make your application stand out: With competition for Saturday jobs fierce, you need to make your application memorable. Tailor your CV and cover letter for each position rather than sending generic applications. Even with limited experience, highlight transferable skills from school projects, sports teams or hobby groups. Show genuine enthusiasm and a willingness to learn: Employers value attitude over experience for entry-level positions. In your cover letter emphasise your flexibility within any legal parameters. This approach can reassure employers that hiring you won't be a legal minefield. Understanding pay and employment rights: If you are 16 or 17, you are legally classified as a 'young worker' under UK law and there are specific protections designed to safeguard your wellbeing and education. If you are above school leaving age, you must be paid at least the National Minimum Wage for your age bracket. Don't accept roles that offer less, as this would be illegal. You are also entitled to a 30-minute break if your working day exceeds four and a half hours, 12 hours rest between working days, and two days' rest each week. Night work is generally prohibited for young workers, with exceptions for certain industries such as hospitality and retail. 4 Sophie's Saturday job set her up SOPHIE CROOME started her career at the age of 16 with a Saturday job at Nando's in Addlestone, Surrey. After studying History at the University of Southampton, she returned to work with the company and is now a supervisor in the chicken chain's Farnham restaurant. Sophie, 22, said: 'Having a part-time job definitely improved my confidence. Before working, I found it difficult to talk to people in public, including waitresses or shop assistants. 'It also taught me a lot about the value of money. It was so nice finally having my own money to treat myself with, but it made me realise that every penny counts and I was more careful in what I bought. 'I recommend teens getting Saturday work as it helps them develop skills such as health and safety, communications, or creating relationships with other people from different backgrounds.' How to date in office THE fallout from the Coldplay kisscam video has seen married CEO Andy Byron forced to resign after he was caught in an embrace with his company's head of HR. But with three in five workers admitting to at least one office affair, what can companies do to protect themselves? Kate Palmer, at Peninsula law firm, says: 'When you hold a senior position at work, your actions are scrutinised. You might not be breaking the law, but you'll be held to account on your moral standpoint too.' Here's her top tips . . . ACCEPT RELATIONSHIPS WILL HAPPEN: Employers can't stop relationships. What they can do is manage how they are handled and the impact they have on the wider workplace. HAVE A POLICY: Set out your expectations. Do you require employees to declare relationships and, if so, at what stage does this happen? What steps will you take to ensure appropriate behaviour in the workplace and how will you manage confidentiality and sharing of information when it comes to 'pillow talk'? MITIGATE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: This is particularly important if one employee is in a position of seniority over the other. There could be allegations of favouritism if they have control over pay or promotions. Some companies have a rule that employees cannot be on the same team if they're in a romantic relationship. MANAGE GOSSIP: Remind employees that spreading rumours about other employees' relationships is unacceptable. Everyone has a right to privacy and there is a fine line between 'banter' and harassment. BE READY FOR BREAK-UPS: It's important that employers look to minimise fallout. This is where a policy around employees having to be on different teams can really make a difference. REMEMBER SEXUAL HARASSMENT: Unwanted attention, unreciprocated affection or reluctance to accept a break-up can all lead to serious issues if employers do not manage this properly. AI 'summer slop' ALMOST half of workers are now using AI at work, up from 32 per cent last year. But there is a danger that relying on the wrong tools for the job, such as when speeding through admin, can lead to poor-quality work. And with teams under extra pressure as colleague take summer holidays, tech experts are warning of a phenomenon called 'summer slop', where overuse of AI produces generic, low-quality work. Charlie O'Brien, from Breathe HR, said: 'Using AI to streamline low-brainpower tasks and maximise productivity is savvy. 'Using AI without thinking and creating lazy AI slop is quite another. We should never sacrifice quality at the altar of AI, even when we're in a rush.' Gen Z's 2nd jobs 4 THE continuing cost-of-living crisis means that one in five Gen Z and one in nine millennials are working at least two jobs, new research reveals. The study from employee benefits platform Boostworks also found that half of millennials and 44 per cent of Gen Z staff say that financial stress directly affects their ability to concentrate at work. Jo Werker, CEO at Boostworks, said: 'Young workers are taking on second jobs because they simply can't make ends meet. It's draining, mentally, physically and financially.' The report also suggested that three-quarters of Gen Z staff were looking to their employer for help with financial education and planning tools.

Trump visits Federal Reserve after attacks on Powell
Donald Trump is to tour the Federal Reserve as he ramps up pressure on chairman Jerome Powell. The president is expected to arrive at the central bank at 4pm Washington time (9pm UK) to inspect renovation works. The overhaul has become increasingly contentious in recent weeks, amid speculation Mr Trump is seeking to use cost overruns on the project as an excuse to oust Mr Powell. Mr Trump has been campaigning for months to get the Fed to cut interest rates, posting a regular stream of invective against Mr Powell on his Truth Social online platform. This week he called for Fed's benchmark rate to be 3 percentage points lower than the 4.25pc to 4.5pc rate it is now. The Fed's reluctance to move until it gauges the inflationary effect of Mr Trump's tariffs has prompted the president to repeatedly threaten to sack Mr Powell before his term as Fed chairman ends next May. American law prevents the president from ejecting the Fed boss for reasons related to monetary policy. The only potentially legal cause for removal would be 'inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance'. Mr Trump is also wary of provoking a market meltdown if he is seen to attack the bank's independence on monetary policy. This has prompted the White House to look for other potential triggers – and they have alighted on the controversial renovation project at the Fed's Washington headquarters. The cost of the works was budgeted at $1.9bn (£1.4bn) when the project began in 2021, but has blown out to $2.5bn. The Fed has said that higher post-pandemic costs for labour and materials were responsible, along with unexpected expenses related to asbestos removal and toxic soil contamination. But Mr Trump's senior aides have claimed the project is extravagant and wasteful. They alleged the plans included VIP dining rooms, executive elevators, water features and roof gardens – claims largely rejected by the Fed. Several senior officials have sought to keep up the pressure by arranging to tour the building site and inspect the works personally. Mr Trump has now opted to join them. The president has suggested he is unlikely to try and oust the chairman 'unless he has to leave for fraud'. Several of Mr Trump's aides, including those leading the campaign against the Fed, are in the frame to replace Mr Powell.

What the UK-India trade deal means for Wales
Sir Keir Starmer and India's Narendra Modi are set to agree a trade deal which is understood to be the largest of its kind for its economic impact on Britain. The UK-India trade deal is worth £6 billion in investment for the British economy and will be signed off on Thursday (July 23). It's set to deliver an £80 million boost to Wales's as part of the Plan for Change, with Welsh food and drink, renewable energy and creative sectors set to benefit following a reduction or elimination of tariffs. Secretary of State for Wales Jo Stevens said: 'Key industries in Wales, such as the renewable energy sector, the creative industries and food and drink producers will see immediate benefits. "On many goods tariffs will be reduced or eliminated. And Welsh businesses will also benefit from access to India's huge procurement market with increased protections so they can confidently export goods and services." According to the Wales Office, 256 Welsh businesses exported goods worth £226 million to India last year. Among those goods is Welsh lamb, which will be able to enter the Indian market duty free from day one, removing a 33% tariff. Gareth Parry, Head of Policy at Farmers Union of Wales, said: "It's really important that we do open up these market opportunities in Asia, the Middle East and other countries across the world. "But we also have to acknowledge how important our nearest trading partners are for the operation of our food system, such as the European Union. We've maintained throughout, ever since the Brexit referendum, that we support maintaining how strong the relationship with our EU partners is, particularly for the trading of Welsh agricultural goods." 'Developing market' for whisky producers Whisky tariffs will be slashed in half, according to the Government, and will fall further over successive years, while other industries including soft drinks, cars and cosmetics are also expected to see cheaper duties. Stephen Davies, Chief Executive of Penderyn Distillery, said: "We are developing our business and brand awareness in both domestic and travel retail sectors in India. It's an exciting and developing market for us. "The agreement to reduce tariffs will provide a better platform for us and our industry to develop links and build business over the next five years. These are exciting times." For Wales' energy sector, the deal will see lower tariffs and unprecedented access to India's public procurement market. The UK already imports £11 billion in goods from India but liberalised tariffs on Indian goods will make it easier and cheaper to buy their best products. The creative sector in Wales will also benefit from increased copyright protections.
