I’ve always found barcodes fascinating little mysteries, so much info in a few parallel lines. Pick up a can of baked beans in a supermarket, scan its barcode with your smart phone and it will tell you which supermarket sells it cheapest! Here are 5 of the best barcode homewares we’ve found.

Did you know you can even generate your own personalised barcode? I’ve just done one using my name & date of birth!
