How to unlock "hidden sales" at B&M using simple hack

In his video 'How to use the hack to find hidden sales in b&m bargains' Nostalgia.2000s1 explains shoppers must first download the B&M app.

In the TikTok video he says: "This trick is so easy to do and you'll get so many bargains.

"So to start off you want to find what you're looking at on the shelf and you want to head to the B&M app, click skip and then at the bottom click the scan function.

"Find the barcode of the item and the scan the item.

"So you've got to wait then for the app to load up but then this should show up (screen with details of the item).

"This is the price you'll pay when you get to the till with the item."

The TikTok user then went on to show off some the bargains he found using the B&M app scanner while in store.

Some of the examples he showed included:

  • Barstool - was £22, reduced to £5

  • Window Vac - was £25, reduced to £10

  • Gaming station - was £30, reduced to £10

  • Slow cooker - was £15, recued to £6

  • Wooden ladder shelf - was £24, recued to £1

A B&M manager even confirmed the "hidden sale" prices from the scanner function are what you'll pay at the till and revealed the reason why they are sometimes different from what the tag says in store.

Commenting on the TikTok video, another user said: "I’m a B&m manager. The reason things on the shelf are a different price is because the ticket hasn’t been changed yet.

"We get a lot of price changes and some get missed. It will scan through the till."

  • Don't buy Apple shares on AI chip headline: Analyst

    Apple (AAPL) is reportedly working on creating its own artificial intelligence chips for the company's data centers in a new project called "ACDC." Maxim Group Managing Director Tom Forte joins Catalysts to discuss what the latest move could mean for the tech giant and investors. "In my opinion, this is more about improving the costs for AI for Apple than it is necessarily a new product release leveraging artificial intelligence," Forte explains. He says that despite the chip's potential to cut artificial intelligence operating costs, he tells Seana Smith, "I certainly wouldn't consider changing my hold rating on the news."

  • Apple throws hat in AI race, reportedly developing chips

    Apple (AAPL) shares are trading higher after the tech giant is reportedly joining the artificial intelligence chip race. Yahoo Finance's Madison Mills reports more on the story and why this could be good news for investors. Mills points out the changing landscape Apple faces as iPhone sales continue to slump. "Apple can't rely on the iPhone that much longer," she explains, adding that chip development gives investors a more hopeful outlook on the tech giant's future. Competitors like Meta (META) and Microsoft (MSFT) already use their own chips to fuel artificial intelligence initiatives in their data centers. While Apple may be viewed as late to the game on this front, Mills stresses that its new chip development could bolster the company as a serious competitor to major chip makers like Nvidia (NVDA).
