‘Run to B&M’ shoppers cry as end of summer sale is on with PS4 games, movie night essentials & kids toys starting at £1

MONEY-SMART shoppers are scrambling to their local B&M after the popular retailer slashed the prices for numerous items.

With summer now, unfortunately, coming to an end, many brands on the high street are running massive sales to get rid of any unsold stock – and B&M are no exception.

The beloved retailer, which has more than a whopping 700 stores across the UK, has cut the prices for a wide range of goodies across the aisles, including toys and even movie night essentials.

Some delighted customers have taken to Facebook to show off their monster hauls, where items were going for as little as a quid.

Amongst these is the Goodmans film projector now retailing for £1, instead of the full price of £69.

One cash-savvy shopper spotted the bargain buy on sale and posted it on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, writing: “Goodmans projector scanning through as £1 in B&M.”

One person commented: “Go grab me one.”

Another said: “Check these tomorrow.”

The B&M website is selling the Goodmans Mini Projector for £49.00, however stock will vary.

The incredible bargain buy, which is perfect for movie marathons as we enter the autumn season, is capable of displaying a picture up to 150″ wide, and is compatible with TV smart boxes and sticks, such as Now TVApple TV, Amazon Fire, Google Chromecast, and Roku.

What’s more, the projector can also work with satellite or cable boxes such as Sky, Virgin, BT, games consoles, USB sticks, USB hard drives, DVD & Blu-Ray players, laptops, smartphones and tablets.

If you need more convincing to check out the cut-price goodies, another shopper revealed they’d managed to snap up a PS4 game for £1.

The game, called YouTubers Life 2, was originally going for a fiver and sells for more than £6 on Amazon.

With an impressive rating of 4.1 stars, the game is perfect for the little ones aspiring to become a YouTube sensation – they can ”edit, and publish high-quality videos to get your first subscribers and views, and make money in no time”.

One mum wrote under the post: ”Hope mine has it my little lad would. Love it.”

Another reckoned it would make for the best gift ”if the boys are getting PlayStations this Christmas”.

How to save money at B&M

Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M's scanner app.

The scanner lets you see if an item’s price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label.

Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift.

The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store.

According to one ex-B&M manager, you’ll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.

Here’s how you can join the B&M bargain hunt:

  • Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play.
  • Once you’ve installed it on your device, click on the option labelled “more” on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page.
  • You’ll then find an option that says “barcode scanner”. 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.

Speaking of toys that are sure to be a major hit for kids, B&M have also introduced a new range of goodies even for the smallest ones, such as bath unicorns.

Taking to the popular page, which has more than 2.2million members, one shopper, Ellie Allen, said: ”Bath unicorns, bath dinosaurs and bubbles from B&M.”

The five-pack of bubble tubs, all in different colours, cost her an affordable £3, while the six-pack of unicorn bath toys set her back a mere £2.49.

Meanwhile, if your children are slightly older, we reckon B&M’s Ring Toss Game is a bargain to pick up next time you’re visiting the store.

Retailing for a purse-friendly £5, the game is ideal for beach days or whilst playing in the garden, as we’re soaking up the last bit of sun.

Vera writer breaks silence on Brenda Blethyn’s exit from hit ITV drama ahead of final ever series

THE writer of Vera has broken her silence on Brenda Blethyn’s exit from the hit ITV drama.

Author Ann Cleeves originally penned the Vera Stanhope crime book series.

The 69-year-old personality was invited into the BBC Breakfast studio for an interview with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt to promote her new book.

Meanwhile, the series will draw to a close on ITV after 14 series over a nearly 15-year time period.

This was after Oscar nominated actress Brenda Blethyn took to the decision to stand down from the beloved detective character.

Despite writing the initial novels, Ann revealed that she has no idea how the TV series will end.

She admits that she will be sitting in front of the telly like every other viewer at home to watch Brenda’s exit from the role she has played since 2011.

Naga, 49, asked the author if she liked the on-screen adaptation.

“I do, yeah”, she replied. “I think they capture the essence of the books and the atmosphere of the place, and that’s far more important than details of the plot.”

The longtime BBC presenter was intrigued as she thought it was strange that the author didn’t know how the series would end.

“I guess, but I don’t want to know,” she responded.

“I want to be there on a Sunday night with my glass of wine, watching and working out what they’re going to do with it.”

Naga then admitted that she felt “a bit confused” because the author didn’t seem to mind about changes to her books, writing, and the character she created.

The presenter then asked how much involvement she had herself in the TV drama.

She explained: “I think that people who make television know more about making television than I do. I write the books. I love it.”

“A lot of what I write is inside the characters’ heads, and you need a skillful scriptwriter and director and actor to make those thoughts come across to the viewer.

Vera's Cast Over The Last 14 Years

Since its launch back in 2011 Vera has gripped ITV viewers with its crime stories - and dozens of actors have appeared in the show, including:

“And I love writing books, it’s what I do, and I think that creative freedom should be given to the people who make the television to do what they want.”

Ann was then asked how she comes up with her ideas and how she gets them down on the page.

However, the author admitted that she likes to write when she’s in her pyjamas, drinking tea around the kitchen table.

“You get a trigger that makes you want to write,” she revealed.

“It was [after] hearing a documentary on Radio Four, and it was about the care system, it was called Profit Not Care.

“It was about private care homes that make tremendous amounts of money out of our troubled teams.

“And I think that just makes me feel very queasy. So this is an angry book.”
