IF you’re a big toy fan, a trip to B&M may be worth your while.
Shoppers can nab three items for £20 from today, and bargain hunters are rushing to their local store to scoop some amazing finds.
One savvy saver recently uploaded a post alerting shoppers on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group.
“B&M are putting the two for £20 toys back on the three for £20 for one week only,” it said.
“Starting from 17th March.”
Bargain hunters tagged their pals in the comments to plot their visit.
One wrote: “Might be worth a look.”
A second perhaps prematurely suggested: “I’m gonna go have a mooch for some stocking fillers!”
In a press release, B&M added: “Grab a fantastic deal and make sure you’re always prepared for those last-minute celebrations, perfect for stocking up on gifts for birthdays and special occasions!
“Don’t miss out on this amazing deal!”
Shoppers can find their nearest B&M store here: https://www.bmstores.co.uk/stores.
The offers boasts a wide selection of 270 different toys, so customers are bound to find the perfect trio.
From cuddly toys and jigsaws to remote controlled gadgets and toy racers, there is plenty to choose from.
The Mini Drone Racer is priced at £12.99 on its own but is reduced to just more than £6.60 in the deal.
Also available is the LED Championship Air Hockey Set which was also marketed at £12.99.
For those who are missing Barbie Summer, you can get your hands on the Barbie Walk & Potty Pup as part of the three for £20 offer.
Some Barbie dolls and their accessories can be quite expensive, so shoppers were excited to spot Barbie products on the shelves.
B&M had the offer last year and bargain hunters dubbed the deal “fantastic.”
One shopper announced they were able to save a whopping £85 as they took full advantage on the offer.
Make sure to check the prices of other supermarkets before you shop, as many retailers are offering deals the moment.
The best way to do this is by cross-checking online, or keeping an eye on the different prices in each store.
How else to save money at B&M
The best time to get cut-price products is 10am on a Wednesday, according to one ex B&M manager.
This is when staff slash items to as little as 10p to clear excess stock and make way for new products.
Deals expert Tom Church said to keep an eye out for red sticker products as well.
These are added to special buy products that have been reduced in price.
It’s worth signing up to Facebook pages dedicated to hunting for bargains from B&M and other discounters too.
Two worth joining are B&M Bargains, Extreme Money Saving Deals and More and Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group.
What to watch out for when buying toys online
HERE are the British Toy and Hobby Association’s top tips for buying toys online:
- Shop early. Don’t leave purchases to the last minute rush which might leave you fewer options of where to buy from.
- Check out third-party sellers. Look for sellers you recognise and trust. Be cautious of retailers you don’t know and do your research checking reviews and where they’re based.
- Go for branded toys. Try and choose a branded toy as then you can compare it to the manufacturer’s own website to check it’s legit.
- Be careful of going for the cheapest price. If something looks too good to be true, it probably is.
- Check if there are any age restrictions. Make sure you give suitable toys to children based on their age.
- Check reviews carefully. Some reviews are fake so look carefully at the comments.
- Stay with children at first. When your child opens a toy for the first time, stay with them and check for faults, detachable small parts, access to stuffing and loose or accessible batteries or magnets.
