B&M bargain hunters rush to buy ‘best little trees’ scanning for £4 – they grow quickly & are cheaper than Asda & B&Q
SHOPPERS are flocking to B&M for the ‘best little trees’ which are scanning for as little as £4 at the tills.
The bargain is perfect for gardening fans who want to add both colour and height to their gardens.
In B&M Salix Flamingo plants are going for £4 each or you can pick up three for £10.
The Salix Flamingo also known as the Hakuro-Nishiki willow tree is a striking spring tree with beautiful pink leaves that erupt into colour every year.
The Salix Flamingo is a low-maintenance plant, that can be grown in a pot and is ideal for adding height to gardens.
The plants were shared in the Bargain Lovers group on Facebook and quickly racked up over 1,400 likes and 800 comments.
One user said: “Love these Salix plants.”
“No way how cheap!” said another user.
“Omg Asda is doing them for £12,” said a third user.
A fourth user declared: “These are pretty.”
It’s not likely you’ll find a Slalix plant this cheap in other retailers as most average size ones typically cost at least £6.
Asda is currently selling one for £13, meanwhile, B&Q was selling a Salix Flamingo standard plant for £29.99.
Retailers tend to reduce items like this to clear stock in specific branches so you may not be able to find the deal in your local but it’s worth having a look.
The plant isn’t in stock on B&M’s website so it might be worth calling your local branch ahead to see if they’ve got any.
Always remember to shop around when buying something like this as well as you might find something similar cheaper elsewhere.
You can use websites like Price Spy and Trolley to compare prices on thousands of products across different retailers.
The Google Product tab is helpful for running a quick scan across the internet too.
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.
What is the B&M scanner app?
SAVVY shoppers are using an app to find better discounts in stores.
