B&M shoppers can’t get enough of garden lights scanning for just £2 instead of £15.
The discount retailer is known for stocking all kinds of bargains from DIY items to toys and pet products.

But shoppers have been rushing out to buy one in particular in recent days – solar-powered outdoor lights.
One customer recently spotted the light curtain in their local B&M branch, posting a photo of the steal on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group.
They said: “Perfect for next year…lots reduced in B&M.”
The post has notched up over 360 likes and almost 200 comments from shoppers keen to snap up some of the lights.
One said: “Need these for (the) summer house.”
A second said: “Oh yeah they’re a bit of me.”
A third, tagging a friend, commented: “Gogogogo.”
If you’re keen to snap up the B&M lights, bear in mind you might not find them for £2 at your closest branch and it might not even stock them.
If you want to save a wasted trip, you could always try calling your local store to see if they have any and for the lower price.
You can find your nearest B&M store by using the retailer’s branch locator tool on its website.
You just have to type in your city, town or postcode and it will bring up your closest B&M location.
In any case, when buying something like this, always make sure to shop around to ensure you’re getting the best deal.
Just because a retailer has slashed the price of a product, that doesn’t mean you won’t get it cheaper elsewhere.
You can use websites like Trolley and Price Spy to compare prices of thousands of products online.
Meanwhile, the Google Shopping/Product tab lets you scan the internet for a specific type of product to see which retailer has it cheapest.
We had a quick look online to see if any other retailers are selling similar solar light curtains for less than £2 but couldn’t find any though.
Tesco has some on sale for £6 while Sainsbury’s has a solar light curtain for £16.
The solar-powered light curtain deal isn’t the first to catch B&M shoppers’ eyes in recent weeks.
Customers were racing to their nearest branch last week after the retailer slashed hand towels from £2.50 to 50p.
Shoppers also spotted candles, cutlery organisers and electronic gadgets for just pennies too.
How to compare 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 the 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.
