SHOPPERS are rushing to B&M to snap up a sweet treat shared online.
Facebook group NewFoodUK shared a picture of Maryland minis white chocolate cookies online.
The share box was spotted at a B&M store and shoppers got excited over the arrival of the festive cookies.
One person wrote with a series of laughing emojis: “Share box ??? Absolutely not !!!”
Another said: “I absolutely love these!”
While a third shopper said: “We need so many of these.”
The brand launched the Maryland white choc earlier this year and has been hit with the shoppers.
Colin Taylor, trade marketing director at Fox’s Burton’s Companies UK, which makes Maryland Cookies, said: “The new Maryland white choc offers shoppers a twist on their favourite cookie and delivers even more choice down the biscuit aisle.”
The latest sharing box spotted in B&M are a new festive twist on the range branded “Merryland” instead of the usual Maryland name.
It’s not clear what size the box is or how much its costs, but it’s only available in stores as B&M doesn’t do home delivery.
A standard size 200g pack of the white choc cookies are £1.50 in Iceland, or on offer two for £2.50, making them £1.25 each.
A bag of six mini packets (19.8g each) costs £1 in Poundland.
It’s not the first time sweet-tooth shoppers have rushed to B&M to get their biscuit fix.
An eagle-eyed sweet hunter found the all-new Oreo Red Velvet selling on B&M shelves.
The shopper then posted a picture of biscuits on the popular Facebook page NewsFoodUK.
Sharing their proud discovery, they wrote: “Red Velvet Oreo spotted at B&M.”
The post wracked up hundreds of likes and comments with many group members tagging pals to talk about the unique flavour.
It’s not the first time in recent months B&M shoppers have been left rushing out to their nearest branch to snap up the latest new chocolate bar.
Cadbury fans have been left raving over an Iced Latte version of Twirls that has made its way onto shelves.
The new flavour, described as a “heavenly blend of coffee and chocolate” and a fan favourite Down Under, has been met with fanfare by customers.
Posting online, one said: “Looks like a trip to B&M tomorrow” while another gushed “Oh my god must get some”.
B&M bargains often fly off the shelves but there is one way you can find similar deals on your next trip to the store.
The B&M smartphone app allows you to scan items in the shop to see their true price.
That way you know if they have been reduced or not.
The app is free to download onto your smartphone via Google Play or Apple App Store.
You will need to make an account in order to access the deals.
Savvy shoppers say they have used the app to find items for as little as 10p.
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.
Here’s how you can join the B&M bargain hunt:
- Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play.
- Once you’ve installed it on your device, click on the option labelled “more” on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page.
- You’ll then find an option that says “barcode scanner”. Click on this and you’ll open a camera screen.
- Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check.
- If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price.
- You don’t need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner.
