One customer couldn't believe her luck after she nabbed a stunning dining chair set originally priced at £140 for just £60.
The thrifty shopper, Siân Jones, was visiting the Bury branch in Greater Manchester when she spotted the epic deal.
Whilst checking out the furniture collection, Siân came across gorgeous grey dining chairs in a set of two that was slashed by more than £100.
And it seems that she was visiting the store just in time - as the set was reduced from £140 to £90, to then £50 and finally to just £30.
This meant that each chair cost her a mere £15 - so without much hesitation, she picked up two boxes.
Online, B&M shoppers can find the Zurich Dining Set for £150 - however, it appears that it also comes with a dining table, ideal for hosting parties.
While the gorgeous chairs are grey, the dining table boasts a classy white marble finish that's sure to make your home look more chic.
Chuffed with the epic find, the lucky shopper shared it on the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook.
She wrote in the post: ''My bargain of the day 4 dining room chairs for £60!
''Down from £280, Bury B&M, i wouldn't of [have] paid the full price but £15 a chair.''
I transformed my council house hallway for under £60 - the old laminate has vanished but critics say it 'looks cheap'
Impressed by the massive saving, one wrote: '' I wonder if our BnM has them.''
Another chimed in: ''Can get very similar chairs (maybe even the same) in different colours too, for £89 on Amazon if anyone doesn't manage to get these.''
If you see something you like in the B&M sale it may be worth comparing prices online to ensure you are not missing a better deal somewhere else.
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.
Sales also vary from store to store, so just because one branch offers amazing deals on something doesn't mean they all will.
You will also need to shop these offers in person as B&M does not have an online store.
With that in mind, it may be worth ringing your local store ahead of time to check stock levels to avoid a wasted trip.

UK could face up to £30bn of tax rises to fund defence spending boost, economist says
Rachel Reeves could be forced to raise up to £30bn through tax rises or funding cuts as the chancellor seeks to meet Labour's pledge to boost defence spending, an economist has claimed. The government has promised to increase defence spending to 2.5 per cent of GDP by 2027, and has an 'ambition' – but no firm commitment – to raise it to 3 per cent in the next parliament, after 2029. But the UK's Nato allies are expected also to push for a fresh target of 3.5 per cent, with the alliance's chief Mark Rutte pushing for a 'dramatic increase', with discussions over a possible 5 per cent target – as called for by Donald Trump – also taking place. And Sir Keir Starmer this week vowed to make Britain 'a battle-ready, armour-clad nation' as a long-awaited defence review called for major upgrades to the UK's military. While the major proposals were based around Labour's current spending pledges for 2027 and the next parliament, the report warned that 'as we live in such turbulent times it may be necessary to go faster' on increasing the UK's defence capabilities. Michael Saunders, a senior economic adviser at the Oxford Economics consultancy, suggested that the government could take steps towards this in the chancellor's next Budget. 'To establish a more credible path to defence spending 'considerably north of 3 per cent' next decade, the government may decide in the autumn Budget that it needs to add some extra spending within the five-year OBR forecast horizon,' said Mr Saunders. 'It's not hard to see pressures for extra fiscal tightening of £15bn to £30bn,' he told The Telegraph. Fiscal tightening involves either raising taxes or cutting government spending. Earlier this week, Paul Johnson, the director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), also warned the only way to pay for the increased defence budget would be through 'chunky tax rises' as the government grapples with other key areas of public spending. He told Times Radio: 'You really do have to ask that question, what are the choices that you're going to make? Bluntly, it really does seem to me that the only choice that is available, is some really quite chunky tax increases to pay for it.' According to the IFS, hitting the 3 per target by 2030 would require an extra £17bn pounds between now and then which is yet to be accounted for. Sir Keir has previously said that increasing defence spending to 2.5 per cent would mean 'spending £13.4bn more on defence every year from 2027'. The Office for Budget Responsibility has also estimated that reaching 3 per cent by the next parliament would cost an additional £17.3bn in 2029/30. Speaking in parliament as the defence review was unveiled this week, Lib Dem defence spokesperson Helen Maguire said: 'It is staggering that we still don't have an answer to the vital question: 'Where is the money coming from?' The government has flip-flopped a number of times on 3 per cent.' On Tuesday, defence secretary John Healey failed to rule out tax rises to make Britain 'war ready' and insisted he was '100 per cent confident' the 3 per cent target would be met — but struggled to say how it would be paid for. It came as defence sources were reported to expect that Britain will be forced to sign up to a target to hike defence spending to 3.5 per cent by 2035 at a Nato summit later this month in a bid to appease the US president.

Unite union had ‘pervasive fraud environment', leaked report says
One of Britain's biggest trade unions had a 'pervasive fraud environment', a leaked auditors' report has concluded. Global tax advisory firm BDO found there had been a culture at Unite that 'did not challenge the appropriateness of transactions' and failed to ensure appropriate financial reporting. The review, which took four years, concluded that 'dominant personalities and a weak control environment facilitated opportunities to commit fraud' at the union. The audit was ordered by general secretary Sharon Graham shortly after she entered her role in 2021 amid questions about accounting and spending on building a hotel and conference centre in Birmingham. Its findings were presented to the union's executive council on Friday. Unite said the probe uncovered a £53.8 million 'impairment' related to the difference between the original valuation of the Birmingham project used to calculate the 'book value' by the auditors at the time, and the real value. 'This process has quite frankly been an ugly one' The BDO report also said there had been 'unusual relationships' between former senior staff and Unite's customers and suppliers, according to the BBC which obtained a copy of the 35-page document ahead of its publication. In response, Ms Graham, who has pledged to strengthen internal governance practices, said: 'On behalf of Unite's 1.2 million-plus members, I promised on my election that I would uncover the truth about historic alleged corruption related to the Birmingham hotel project. 'This process has quite frankly been an ugly one, where I have endured attacks and smears from those with much to lose, but they have not deterred me. 'The re-audit is in its final stages and as we move to completion, I will ensure steps are taken so that this can never happen again and we have already started the process of getting our money back. 'Over the last three years of my leadership, I have refocused our union on to the jobs, pay and conditions of our members and we have secured a union that is financially strong and able to fight for workers.'

Labour missing housebuilding target by 170,000 homes a year, report finds
Labour is on track to miss its housebuilding target after planning permission for new homes tumbled to a record low. A bleak report by the Home Builders Federation yesterday dealt a blow to the Government's vow to build 1.5million properties by 2029. Stark figures show Labour is falling short of its target by 170,000 homes a year. Industry leaders said the data was 'disastrous' and without urgent support from ministers there is 'little chance' of reaching the goal. Just 39,170 homes were given planning permission in England in the first three months of the year – the lowest quarterly figure since records began. That was a 55 per cent drop on the previous quarter and almost 32 per cent lower than a year earlier. The 225,067 units given approval in the 12 months to the end of March was the worst performance in 12 years. The federation said its data 'starkly illustrates the urgent need for Government to address the barriers to housing supply' if they are to get 'anywhere near the much-vaunted' target. A lack of support for first-time buyers, overstretched planning departments and high taxation has squeezed housing development, the trade association said. It also cited a problem with housing associations failing to buy tens of thousands of new homes designated for social and affordable rents. Chief executive Neil Jefferson said: 'The latest planning figures are disastrous for an industry and a government looking to increase housing supply over the coming years. 'Unless urgent interventions are made, there seems little chance of us building the homes we know are desperately needed.' Around 200,000 homes are being built each year, below the 370,000 target, the figures show. The number of new developments approved in the first quarter of 2025 was 2,018 – the worst quarterly figure in 20 years. The HBF called on ministers to introduce support for first-time buyers which could lead to the construction of an extra 100,000 homes. Investment in high-rise blocks has 'collapsed' due to delays at the Building Safety Regulator which 'has been unable to deal with its workload', the group said. There is also a shortfall of 2,000 local council planning officers, and new taxes have 'ballooned' since 2020, putting pressure on builders. A housing department spokesman said it is 'taking decisive action' to speed up the planning process and that its 'seismic reforms will help drive UK housebuilding to its highest level in over 40 years'. Meanwhile, builders could be required to install solar panels on the 'vast majority' of new homes in England, according to Energy Secretary Ed Miliband. It comes a month after No10 confirmed the panels should be installed on as many new properties as possible amid speculation that ministers will make them a mandatory requirement on new builds by 2027.
