B&M owns lesser known budget supermarket with great bargains

Prices of most things are going up, whether it's basics like bread and milk, or family favourites like fish fingers and beans. Many people are changing the way they shop - and for some that means changing where they shop as some families struggle to make ends meet.

Poundland, Home Bargains and B&M are among the budget stores that are useful to help pick up a bargain. But Heron Foods is now starting to grab people's attention too, reports Manchester Evening News.

It actually started life as Grindells Butchers in 1978 before changing its name and opening its first store - Heron Frozen Foods - in Hull in 1979. Then, in 2017, the chain was taken over by B&M in a £152m deal and now operates more than 250 stores, including 29 across Greater Manchester, some of which have been rebranded B&M Express.
