B&M shoppers rush to buy summer gadget perfect for keeping cool at night scanning for £3
B&M shoppers are rushing to buy summer gadget that is perfect for keeping cool at night.
The cooling mat is scanning at the tills for just £3 even though it has £12 on the box.
One savvy shopper posted the deal in the B&M Bargains, extreme money-saving deals Facebook group.
She said: “£3 Perth store. Not just for pets, I use them in bed for hot nights because I’m a woman of a certain age and have night sweats.”
The cooling mat is being sold as something your pets can lie on to keep cool in the hot weather.
According to the description on the box, it cools down when your pet sits on it.
However many other shoppers were quick to agree with the poster and were on board with the idea that the cooling mats could be put in your bed.
One person said: “This is what I do with them also and it’s the best thing ever, slide them in the bed under the fitted sheets.
Another commented: “Good idea thanks for that.”
While another added: “Workington had all pet cooling items 50p.”
This cooling mat was found in the Perth store, but do remember that just because it is found in one it does not mean it will be in all.
It is worth checking ahead with your local store beforehand to make sure they are stocking the item to avoid a wasted trip.
You can find your local B&M by using the store locator tool on the website.
It is always good to shop around before you buy to make sure that you are getting the cheapest deal.
You can use price comparison sites such as Google Shopping to search for similar products and compare the prices across different retailers.
We had a look around to see what other retailers are offering on similar cooling mats.
The Range has one listed on their website at £2.49 reduced from £4.99.
If you buy online delivery will be charged at £3.95 so do bear that in mind when you are shopping around.
Pets at Home has one currently in the sale from £12 down to £6.
The Sunny Daze cooling mat comes in five sizes and the price does vary depending on the size you choose and delivery at £3.95 will also be charged.
It is not only cooling mats that have caught bargain hunters’ attention.
Parents have been rushing to B&M to get their hands on a £75 bouncy castle for just £20.
Others have also been dashing to the shelves to buy “great” garden essential that is scanning at the tills for just 10p.
How does the B&M scanner work?
B&M shoppers regularly share on social media how they have saved money using the store’s free barcode scanner.
The handy tool allows customers to discover discounted items before the staff has even reduced them.
The scanner is completely free you just need to download the B&M app.
By scanning the barcode on items you can see if the price is actually cheaper than it is advertised on the shop shelf.
There is even a Facebook group with a 200,000-strong membership page dedicated to the scanner called “B&M scanner and other bargains“.
Bargain hunters often post about the deals that they have managed to bag by using the scanner.
Professional bargain hunter Holly Smith previously explained how she got her hands on a LOL Surprise game for £1 instead of £10 by using the app.
We’ve also previously spoken to one mum who managed to find a Spiderman toy for just 10p, plus another woman found cushions reduced to 10p with the scanner.
