For example, the B&M store in Dartford will be open from 8am to 11pm for this week instead of 8am to 10pm.
The Ipswich B&M store in Anglia retail park will all be open till 11pm instead of 10pm on weekdays and Saturdays.
However it’s not all good news for some shoppers, the budget chain has announced plans to close some of its stores later this month.
The bargain retailer is closing its store in Westmorland Retail Park, Cramlington on Saturday, November 4.
The closure forms part of the chain’s relocation plans as it is set to open a bigger replacement store just down the road.
The new Cramlington store will be located in Manor Walks Shopping Centre and it will open to shoppers on Saturday, November 11.
How can I save money at B&M?
If you are heading to B&M this Christmas there are a few ways you can save money in the 600 stores that remain open.
Download the B&M barcode scanner app as it allows you to discover discounted items before the staff have even reduced them.
It’s free to download on the Apple Store or Google Play store.
Once you’ve got the app, click on the “scan” button at the bottom of the homepage.
This will then bring up the camera on your smartphone, which you’ll need to use to scan barcodes.
Bargain hunters say some items go down to just pennies on the app.
Reduction labels in B&M are white so make sure to look out for those stickers on your favourite items.
Get friendly with staff too. They’ll be able to tell you when the sales will hit, or if there are bargains out the back – so you get the best bits before everyone else.
