One lucky shopper who managed to bag the deal and shared her festive bargain to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook group.
The post read: “10p each in B&M. My son who has autism also loves these in the summer.
“I already have a few and will be passing them on to dog owners.”
Now is the best time to bag a bargain as many retailers have started slashing prices.

Meanwhile, we have pulled together all the best info on the latest deals, so that you don’t miss out.

How do I maximise my chance of finding a bargain?
The Sun has covered plenty of B&M scanner wins over the years, so we’ve picked up a few tricks or tips along the way.
Here are some pointers to help you nab a deal:
Check seasonal items
These are the items that are most likely to be reduced. So after Christmas, you’ll want to be checking all the festive products.
And after summer, you may find paddling pools and outdoor toys reduced.
Scan reduced items
Even reduced items can be discounted even further when you check them with the B&M scanner.
Visit more than one B&M
If you’ve got the time, it could pay to visit more than one B&M as stock availability and discounts will vary between branches.
For example, we previously spoke to a B&M shopper who nabbed £860 worth of goods for £80 by visiting five stores in one day.
Pick your day and time carefully
We’ve spoken to B&M haulers who claim the time and day you visit your local store does have an impact on how many bargains you’ll find.
There isn’t a set formula for all stores, so try and visit at different times until you know when is best.
Use Facebook groups
Keep an eye on what is likely to be reduced by joining B&M Facebook groups.
