B&M shoppers flock to buy ‘perfect’ egg chair essential scanning with over 50% off
B&M has slashed the price of a “perfect” egg chair must-have by more than 50%.
The bargain retailer is a one-stop shop for all garden essentials and shoppers are always itching to bag themselves a deal.
An eagle-eyed bargain hunter spotted a hanging egg chair cover in their local B&M and shared their good fortune on social media.
One shopper shared a photo of the buy on hotukdeals.
They wrote: “Perfect for anyone with an existing egg chair.
“Scans as £7 in-store presume nationwide (stock dependent).
“Listed price on the product is £15 so over 50% off. Purchased from the Oldham store, was the last one on the shelf.”
The cover is designed to protect your outdoor egg chair from inclement weather.
It fits most single and double egg chairs, and B&M describes it as easy to clean.
It is made from water-resistant fabric and has a handy drawstring pull cord to hold cover in place.
If you want to get your hands on the cover, you’ll have to visit your local store because B&M doesn’t have a delivery service for online orders.
It’s always worth giving your local site a call to check if they still have it in stock to avoid disappointment.
If you are unsure where your nearest B&M is, you can put your postcode into the store locator tool on the retailer’s website.
We had a look online to see if we could find any similar covers for the same price.
The best match we could find was at Asda – but it was retailing for £12, which is £5 more than at B&M.
How to find the best deals
It’s always worth comparing prices to get the best deal.
Just because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn’t mean it’s always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
One savvy shopper recently found a disposable BBQ for 10p instead of £4 and another found decking tiles for £1 instead of £14.
B&M also had a portable cooler for £4 instead of £20, and garden screening for just a few of pennies instead of £20.
How to find gardening bargains
Doing up your garden to enjoy on warm and sunny days needn't cost the earth.
Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to get a top deal on items for the garden…
You can bag big savings on plants, shrubs and flowers, as well as gardening tools and furniture.
Many retailers have flash sales across entire seasonal ranges – often these promotions tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout.
Sign up to mailing lists of your favourite brands and you’ll be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
Use a price comparison site to search out the best value items.
And keep a close eye on the specialbuys at Aldi and middle of Lidl drops which drop a couple of times a week and usually mean great value seasonal items for your outdoor areas.
If you are not in a hurry to buy an item, try adding it to the shopping cart online and leaving it for a couple of days.
Sometimes big brands will try to tempt you into the sale by offering you a discount.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying.
It’s especially worth using sites such as Topcashback, Quidco and app Jamdoughnut when buying bigger ticket items such as garden furniture as you’ll get a nice kickback.
