How to compare prices to get the best deal

There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.

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. Or for just 50p extra, you can opt for a plain cream plate with black lining and bow detailing. Shopper reactions B&M customers shared their excitement for the new items in the comments section.
