And shoppers can’t get enough of the retailer’s latest products to keep you cool in the heat.
The Chillmax Go Fan sells for over £18 at most other retailers, but B&M stocks it for £5 instead of £20.
A shopper recently spotted the bargain at a local branch and posted a photo of the find online.
Posting on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, they wrote: “We went to B&M to get some fans.
“These are on the shelf for £5 each. They’re within reach and you can clip them to your pram or bed.”
The post garnered dozens of comments and likes from shoppers looking to purchase the must-have device.
One person said, “Baby needs two of these.”
Meanwhile, a second person who had already bought one added: “This is so good.”
Of course, always remember to shop around when buying something like this, as you may find it cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Price Runner and Price Spy allow you to compare thousands of products from different retailers.
You can also use the Google Shopping/Products tab to scour the internet to see how much a chain is selling a particular item for.
I did a quick search online to see if there were any other retailers selling Chillmax fans for less than £5, but I couldn’t find any.
Please note that not all B&M branches will have fans priced at £5 as it may just have been reduced in certain stores.
You can find your nearest B&M store using the retailer’s store locator tool on the website.
Pharmacy chain Boots sells Chillmax fans for £20, and QVC has them in stock for £18.
Meanwhile, Homebase and Wilco both sell it for £20.

How to save money at B&M
Shoppers have been able to save hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M’s scanner app.
Scanners allow you to see if a product’s price is lower than the price shown on the store label.
The items that are discounted are usually seasonal items or older stock that B&M is looking to shift.
One former B&M manager says you might also want to visit your local branch on Wednesdays at 10am.
This is when staff reduce items to 10p to dispose of excess stock and make way for new products.
You can find your nearest B&M branch using the store locator tool on the retailer’s website.
