And particularly if your patio is covered in moss and weeds that you're on a mission to hide, then this is just the thing for you.
One savvy shopper was left open-mouthed when browsing the aisles in her local B&M, when she spotted a £5 buy that will turn a grubby patio from drab to fab with barely any effort involved.
Thrilled with her cheap find, Catherine Jacinto Dela Cruz eagerly raced to social media to alert others to the bargain buy.
Posting on BARGAIN LOVERS Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More, a public Facebook group with 809,000 members, Catherine shared a snap of her finds - a four pack of Interlocking Floor tiles.

Alongside her post, Catherine simply penned: 'Floor tiles spotted at B&M for £5.'

How to save money at B&M
Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M's scanner app.
The scanner lets you see if an item's price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label.
Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift.
The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
According to one ex-B&M manager, you'll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.
Here's how you can join the B&M bargain hunt: Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play.
Once you've installed it on your device, click on the option labelled "more" on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page.
You'll then find an option that says "barcode scanner". Click on this and you'll open a camera screen.
Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check.
If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price.
You don't need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner.
Another added: 'They are great, got them in our garden.'
A third commented: 'l found them very good, bought some more this year to extend the area for the patio table to go on.'

Despite this, not everyone was as impressed, as one shopper claimed: 'These are very flimsy if you intend to put stuff on top of them. I wouldn't bother there more for decoration than anything else. I had them and they broke, just saying if anyone is interested.'
A second slammed: 'Bad quality. Flimsy bendy plastic just cracks. Don't waste your money.'

Whilst someone else remarked: 'They are useless, very uneven, trip hazard.'

I turned my drab kitchen into a home using £12 bargain from Temu – people can't believe how good it looks

A SAVINGS-savvy homeowner shared impressive before-and-after snaps of her kitchen after nabbing a Temu bargain. Tracy Davies rid herself of her unsightly tiles with a handy £12 fix. 3 Using stick-on tiles from Temu, this kitchen has been given a makeover Credit: Facebook 3 These were the original tiles in Tracy's kitchen Credit: Facebook Using peel-and-stick tiles from the bargain website, she completely transformed the space. "From painted tiles which I absolutely hated to stick on times from Temu," she wrote on the DIY On a Budget Official Facebook page. "A massive improvement," she added. Tracy's bog-standard white square tiles have been covered with large, marble-style tile stickers, which give the kitchen a modern feel. Fellow home hackers were shocked by the difference the simple solution made. "Would love to do this, looks lovely," one wrote. "These look great, I'm going to look into getting these," another said. "I also used the stick on tiles to cover up ugly tiles in my kitchen," a third wrote. The good news is that the stickers are easy to apply, and no grout is needed. I wanted a panelled room but wasn't going to spend loads so risked it & bought £36 strips from Temu - I saved a fortune If you want to give your kitchen or bathroom some TLC, Temu offers a huge variety of stick on tiles in different colours and styles. Amazon, Dunelm and B&Q also sell packs of tile stickers. The tiles on Amazon range from £8 to £20, while at Dunelm prices start from £18. It's not just stick-on tiles that have home fixers jumping for joy - there are even self-adhesive wood panels to add a little extra style to any room. Betty, a content creator from the UK who is currently renovating her home, used dado rails to panel her hallway - and it left many open-mouthed. But while many were stunned and thought the DIY project was incredibly 'impressive', others thought it made Betty's home look 'dated'. Alongside her short social media clip, the brunette, who often shares beginner-friendly DIY tips and tricks online, beamed: 'This is your sign to panel your hallway.' She then added: 'If you're going to make one update to your hallway for maximum impact then let it be this! 'This has to be the panelling project that I'm most proud of (mainly because I finally tackled those angles).' Betty claimed that 'preparation is key' when it comes to panelling, as she pre-marked each location to ensure it looked neat once complete. She later revealed that she got the dado rails as part of a traditional stair panelling kit from Roomix. As well as adding panelling to her hallway, which Betty coated in Dulux Egyptian Cotton paint, she also painted the top of her walls in the shade White Mist from Dulux.

Sabrina Carpenter takes savage swipe at ex Barry Keoghan as she announces new single

SABRINA Carpenter has made a not-so-thinly veiled jab at her ex Barry Keoghan with the announcement of her new single. The Taste singer, who is known for her playful and sexual lyrics and stage show, teased her new single yesterday with a cheeky clip of her hitch-hiking in bum-exposing shorts. 6 Sabina Carpenter has teased her new single Credit: Instagram / sabrinacarpenter 6 The star teased 'this song is about you' – with fans assuming she means Barry Keoghan Credit: Getty 6 Barry and Sabrina had a year-long romance that ended in December last year Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk Now she's revealed the name of the song – and made it known it was about someone in particular. Taking to Instagram, she captioned the clip: 'this one's about you!! 'Manchild' is out this Thursday 6/5 8pm EST♥️ special 7' vinyl available now'.' A teaser of the vinyl also revealed the words: 'Inside of your head when you've just won an argument with a man.' While Sabrina didn't explicitly say it was about Irish actor Barry Keoghan – who is set to play Ringo Starr in the upcoming four-part Beatles biopic film series – fans wasted no time in believing it was about the pair, considering their split last year. Sabrina and Barry were first connected in September 2023, making their first public appearance together at Grammys after-party in February 2024. They later attended the MET Gala together, with Barry being seen on the side of the stage throughout some of Sabrina's performances. The actor, who shot to fame in Saltburn and Banshees of Inisherin, later had a starring role in her music video for Please Please Please, which depicts the story of a woman deciding to ignore warnings for a potential romance, but begging her love interest not to embarrass her. However, in August, The Sun on Sunday confirmed Barry had been dumped by Sabrina for the first time after she grew tired of his party lifestyle. A source said at the time: 'Barry acts like an idiot when he is drunk and Sabrina was getting increasingly frustrated. 'He has always been a party animal and Sabrina was fed up with his antics. She is soaring in the charts and is putting herself first as she gears up for her tour next month.' Romantic dinners, racy shoutouts and sexy video cameos - a timeline of Sabrina Carpenter & Barry Keoghan's relationship While they later reconnected, they officially ended for good in December. It was believed that a combined pressure of her skyrocketing fame and tour schedule, plus his workload and party lifestyle, ultimately made the relationship unviable. A source told People: "They are both young and career-focused, so they've decided to take a break." 6 Sabrina has become known for her playful and raunchy lyrics Credit: Rex 6 The couple split reportedly over Barry's party lifestyle Credit: Social Media Collect
