\u201cLate-night shopping my fave thing,\u201d declared a third user.\u00a0<\/p>\n From this week these stores will be open for an hour extra hour:\u00a0<\/p>\n Shoppers can expect to see their local stores opening hours extended. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n For example, the B&M store in Dartford will be open from 8am to 11pm for this week instead of 8am to 10pm.<\/p>\n The Ipswich B&M store in Anglia retail park will all be open till 11pm instead of 10pm on weekdays and Saturdays.<\/p>\n The retailer planned to have 250 stores in total open later for shoppers but says three stores couldn't stay open later due to car park restrictions.<\/p>\n However it\u2019s not all good news for some shoppers, the budget chain has announced plans to close some of its stores later this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n The bargain retailer is closing its store in Westmorland Retail Park, Cramlington on Saturday, November 4.<\/p>\n The closure forms part of the chain's relocation plans as it is set to open a bigger replacement store just down the road.<\/p>\n The new Cramlington store will be located in Manor Walks Shopping Centre and it will open to shoppers on Saturday, November 11.<\/p>\n 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. <\/p>\n Download the B&M barcode scanner app\u00a0as it allows you to discover discounted items before the staff have even reduced them.<\/p>\n It's free to download on the Apple Store or Google Play store.<\/p>\n Once you've got the app, click on the "scan" button at the bottom of the homepage.<\/p>\n This will then bring up the camera on your smartphone, which you'll need to use to scan barcodes.<\/p>\n Bargain hunters say some items go down to just pennies on the app. <\/p>\n Reduction labels in B&M are white so make sure to look out for those stickers on your favourite items. <\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?
