ONE proud shopper announced he’d snapped up the ‘bargain of the year’ after he bagged a £50 garden toy for just £1.
The Giant Rocking Planet inflatable is ideal for keeping your little ones off their gadgets and instead, outside in nature.
It is for children aged eight and above, and it comes with a battery-operated pump.
The toy was originally £50 before it was reduced to £20, then it plummeted to just £1.
The cost-cutting customer shared a snap of the product on B&M Scanner and Other Bargains Facebook.
He added a screen grab with information to help other shoppers find it in their local stores.
“Just found the bargain of the year!! £50!!!! Down to £1,” he wrote.
Other shoppers flocked to the comment section, with one writing: “Super bargain!”
Another shared a photo of her own giant inflatable and wrote: “Thank you! Just got one.”
A third wrote: “Omg my autistic son would loooooove this!!!!!”
“I’ve been looking everywhere for one of these! I saw them a few years ago and they’ve never had them again!” chimed a fourth.
The product code is: 394873 and the B&M scanner noted that the inflatable is subject to availability.
He’d discovered the major deal by using the B&M free barcode scanner.
The tool allows shoppers to discover discounted items before the staff have even reduced them.
The scanner lets you see if the item’s price is cheaper than advertised on the shop shelf.
Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift, or they’re labelled “big brands” and “big savings”.
It’s a terrific hack to use, especially since the cost of living keeps rising and inflation might hit 15% by the end of the year.
B&M bargains often differ from store to store and customers are warned that some products are available in selected stores only.
To avoid a wasted trip, contact your local branch to check their stock.
To find your nearest, use the online store locator tool.
The garden toy is made in the shape of Saturn, with a large ring running around the outside for children to climb on.
There are handles on the sphere for kids to hold on as they rock from side to side.
Another shopper was thrilled with the deal, and treated her kids to a inflatable boxing ring and slide too.
“Grand total of £12 for £150 worth of toys! Slide was £10 and the other two were £1 each,” she wrote on the same Facebook group.
If you’re looking to turn your garden into a fun-filled play area for your kids, B&M has you covered with more incredible offers.
The discount store is flogging a huge inflatable slide for just £10.
A shopper shared the deal on the same Facebook page and wrote: “Yesterday’s find at B&M.”
Attached to the post was a picture of a Gigantic Garden Slide, originally priced at £50.
A sale sticker had been placed on the box, to say it had been reduced to £30, however, when the shopper got to the till, it had been reduced to just £10.
The bargain buy is six feet long when inflated and promises “slip’n, slide’n fun”.
It is suitable for children over three and includes a battery-operated pump.
B&M said: “Unleash the fun in the sun with this epic giant inflatable slide!
“Watch as the kids’ smiles reach new heights – It’s the ultimate entertainment for endless summer fun.”
Shoppers raced to the comments section of the Facebook posts to tag their friends and share the bargain with them.
One shopper pointed out that the slide is from last year’s stock, so may not be available to buy in your local.
