THE popular retailer B&M has long been a favourite for those loving a bargain – and this time the store hasn’t failed to surprise its fans either.
If you’re looking to give your home an easy transformation on a budget, then best get heading to the nearest B&M, as fans are going wild over an amazing deal – a massive rug for just a quid.
The too-good-to-sleep-on find was shared on the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook and has since been a hit amongst many Britons.
Happy with her purchase, one mum, Ashleigh Savill, demonstrated the find to fellow members in a post.
”B&m green extra large rugs from £40 to £1,” she exclaimed in the caption.
In fact, the deal was so good, Ashleigh got her hands on three of these faux fur rugs, which some fans claimed also come in different colours.
According to the brand’s website, this rug, made of polyester, is perfect ”for pairing with light furniture in living rooms, hallways and bedrooms”.
”Treat your feet and liven up living rooms with this luxuriously soft blush faux fur rug.”
Of course, B&M fans don’t need reminding twice – many flocked to comments to thank the mum for sharing the find.
”Even if I had to change my room decor to green just to match these bargains I so would,” one member of the group chuckled.
”Well done great bargain,” another added.
However, many also claimed that the rug was of poor quality was would shed nonstop.

One shopper warned: ”I have this rug and it’s a pain in the a**e all the fluff comes off all the time bo [no] matter how much I brush / vak it its always stuck to my carpet and I have to vak up about 20 times a day !!”
Someone else agreed, commenting: ”Beautiful, great bargain but the fur is coming out, I had a pink one had to get rid of it cause it was shedding more than my rabbit.”
”Those rugs are awful ! All the fabric comes off , and if u have kids they get covered on them !” a mum joined the conversation.
”I was for ever hoovering ! And my clothes were covered in fluff from those rugs I binned mine after 2 weeks.”
However, whilst you’re in the store stocking up on the rugs, perhaps give their sparkly wallpaper a miss, as one shopper’s been left livid.
Miriam Beck, from Bathgate, West Lothian, bought four rolls of the glittery silver wallpaper from B&M to glitz up her living room after her son and partner moved out.
The 46-year-old splashed out £146 in total on the paper, paint and brushes.
B&M bosses promise the sparkly and shimmering wallpaper will bring “maximum glitz to any space”.
They added that it is “designed to turn heads” and provides “glamour by day and by night”.
But Miriam’s glittery DIY transformation ended in a disaster after repeated attempts to stick the wallpaper to the walls failed.
Miriam said she has decorated her whole house herself and has never experienced an issue before.
The mum of four has now been left “frustrated and infuriated” after super glue, heavy-duty paste, edge glue, no more nails and spray adhesive all failed to keep the wallpaper in place.
She told Edinburgh Live: “Normally, I am good at putting up wallpaper – I have done my whole house myself from top to bottom.
“I wouldn’t say I have qualifications, but I know what I need for the job at hand. It’s frustrating and infuriating.
“I would put it up one day and the following morning I would go into the living room and see it had fallen down.
“It kept happening again and again to the point where I had to take it down and clean the walls to restart.
“I wish I had just painted them. I kept trying to stick down the wallpaper for over a month.”
B&M, however, have insisted that the mum incorrectly applied the wallpaper which resulted in the DIY fail.
A spokesperson for budget store said: “Unfortunately, on this occasion, the customer did not follow the application instructions on the wallpaper.
“This product is a ‘Paste the Wall’ product, and the customer pasted the paper when she first applied it.
“As a gesture of goodwill, we have contacted the customer to provide her with a full refund of the paper she purchased.
“We’d advise any customers in future to ensure they read the instructions carefully before they start any wallpaper DIY project”.
