And her most recent find has left fans rushing to Amazon.
Taking to TikTok, Bethany revealed she found the perfect pair of heels for summer and they look a lot like Louboutin's Me Dolly sandals.
She said: "Amazon shoe announcement. I want to gatekeep."
While the reality star wanted to keep the buy to herself, she decided to share it with her followers.
The peep toe shoes come with a super high, sleek heel and are from the brand TNYNFBEB.
The top leather has a smooth, low-cut style to elongate the legs and adds a retro touch.
The shoes come in multiple colours and the price starts at just £55.30.
Bethany added: "They're comfortable. They look rich. They're just it. These are Amazon shoes.
"You're not welcome because I don't want you to have them because my whole team copies everything I do and it's irritating, but I can't keep it from you.
"I'm going back on now and buying every color so you can't have them all. You can only get the ones you get. I get first dibs."
Primark drops 'stunning' £20 flower heels that are perfect for summer and dupe for £895 celeb-loved designer buy
The shoe looks super similar to Louboutin's Me Dolly heels which come in a patent calf leather and cost an eye-watering £690.
The dupe Bethany found from Amazon were a fraction of the price and could save you £635.
Fans of Bethany's were quick to thank her for sharing the designer dupe in the comments.
One person wrote: "Yes Beth, the actual Lord's work."
Why you should always buy a dupe over designer...
Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend says it's time fashion snobs stopped looking down their noses at affordable versions of designer buys.
Bargain US supermarket Walmart became a social media sensation when its £60 dupe of Hermès' Birkin bag, dubbed the Wirkin, went viral.
Influencer @styledbykristi gushed: "Eighty dollars (£60), you can pretend that you got a Birkin. I mean, everyone will probably know it's not, because who the hell has the money to spend on the real Birkin? Not me.'
Me neither. And why bother? I would never spend that on a designer bag (although if someone wants to buy one for me, that's a different story).
Plus, if I splashed that much, I'd feel I was being ripped off...
We've all been told how the leading brands use the finest leather, thread, dyes and craftsmanship in the world.
But all that is inflated by fashion houses to create the desired illusion of exclusivity.
Just last year, Dior came under investigation for paying £44 to assemble a bag that sells for £2,000.
So while you might think you are paying for top-level craftsmanship carried out by a true artisan, chances are the poorly paid workers are not seeing any of your hard-earned cash.
Dupes — not to be mistaken for knock-offs that copy everything from the logo to the inside label — are a more practical and all-round sensible way to go.
I bought my first when I was 18. It lasted me four years and only broke after I wore it in the shower.
And these days, British high streets have plenty of dupes. In the past three years, Marks & Spencer, H&M and Mango have all seen huge spikes in sales thanks to their canny copies. They use the same viral, must-have marketing tactics that pricey brands have.
Fashion folk will tell you that you are making an investment and buying a 'heritage piece' and will turn their noses up at a high street equivalent. But we've been wearing looks inspired by catwalk designers for decades.
If we can buy a bag that's the spitting image of the pricier version, but doesn't mean you have to remortgage, why not?
Another commented: 'Thanks Bethany for sharing."
"I LOVE them! Gorg!" penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "I need them."
"I literally want them in EVERY color!! Ordered the light green and I can't wait,' claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: 'I have the black ones and LOVE them!"

So are yoga enthusiasts smug, or what?
Alternatively, you can go there and jealously glare at other people honing their bodies, while you crumple into a sweaty mass at the foot of the running machine, after jogging on it for precisely seven seconds. Reader Susan Wood was recovering from just such an epic jog when she overheard two nearby women chatting about maintaining a healthy body and mind. Said one to the other: 'I've started yoga and meditation classes.' 'Why d'you wanna do that?' inquired the friend. 'I've always been spiritual,' explained the first lady. 'You know, seeking the path to entitlement.' 'Do you mean the path to enlightenment?' said the friend. 'Oh, yes,' came the reply. 'That, too.' Money matters Overheard in a pub by reader William Marshall: Bloke One: Besides money, what else makes you happy? Bloke Two (after long consideration): More money. Musical master mauled Legendary folk troubadour Bob Dylan is not to everyone's liking, though reader Jack Wilson is a huge fan. The other day Jack was chatting to pals about his love for the protest singer when one of the chaps sacrilegiously (and rather cruelly) said: 'Dylan? Thought he croaked it yonks ago.' Another of Jack's friends immediately sprang to the defence of His Bobness, and said: 'You've got that wrong. It's his voice that does the croaking. The rest of him is fine.' Gordon Casely isn't sure what a literate Glasgow dog would make of this packet of dog treats. 'Thoroughly negative,' he'd probably conclude. (Image: Contributed) Magical money maker We mentioned that youthful Scottish actor Dominic McLaughlin has bagged the coveted role of Harry Potter in a new TV version of the classic series of fantasy books. Mulling this over, reader Simon Stewart concludes: 'That young fella will be making plenty of dosh as Potter. You could say that he'll be McLaughlin all the way to the bank.' Picture this The teenage son of reader Nicola Carter was collapsed on the couch, showing few signs of life, apart from his thumbs occasionally moving on his mobile phone as he perused his TikTok account. 'Why don't you do something more inspiring with your spare time?' said Nicola. 'Like what?' slurred the surly sofa sloucher. 'Maybe a jigsaw?' suggested Nicola. 'Jigsaw…' echoed the teen in a confused, faraway manner. 'Wow,' he continued, 'I forgot those things even existed. Break up a picture, then put it back together. And you think MY pastimes are pointless.' Musical malady 'I'm addicted to buying old Beatles albums,' admits reader Stuart Campbell. 'Does anyone know where I can get Help?'

Kate Middleton's one wish for Lilibet and heartbreaking four-word admission
Kate Middleton shared her one wish for her estranged niece, Lilibet, in the days after she was born – and made a heartbreaking confession about their relationship Kate Middleton shared her one adorable wish for her niece shortly after her birth. Princess Lilibet, the only daughter of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, celebrates her fourth birthday today (June 4). She was born at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California and lives in Montecito with her two parents and older brother, Archie. The family are not believed to keep regular contact with their royal relatives, with some members of the Firm having never met the Sussex children. As reported by HELLO!, royal correspondent Danielle Stacey said: "It has never been officially confirmed whether the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children have met Princess Lilibet." However, Kate made it clear she had not spoken to her niece in the days following her birth. In a TikTok posted by CBS News back in June 2021, Kate was asked whether she had any wishes for Lilibet. "I wish her all the very best," Kate said. "I can't wait to meet her, because we haven't yet... met her yet, so hopefully that will be soon." The Princess of Wales was then asked if she had FaceTimed with her young niece. To this, she heartbreakingly responded: "No, I haven't. No." Last year, Harry and Meghan celebrated Lilibet's third birthday with a special party at their home. The Mirror reported at the time that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had kept the guestlist small. No members of the Royal Family attended the bash. However, it is thought a number of Meghan and Harry's close friends, as well as their daughter's peers, celebrated the big day with the young princess. Royal author Tom Quinn has claimed celebrities including Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom with their daughter Daisy were also present. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror last year, Tom said: "Rather than go for a low-key celebration Harry and Meghan have spent the past weekend enjoying a pre-birthday bash for their daughter Lillibet's third birthday – hugely expensive presents have been ruled out but the couple's mansion in California was awash with celebrities including Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom and their daughter Daisy who is just a few months older than Lilibet." Meghan and Harry became neighbours with Katy and Orlando when they moved to their home in Montecito after stepping down from the Royal Family. They also live close to Ellen DeGeneres, Gwyneth Paltrow and Oprah Winfrey. While there were plenty of celebrities at Lilibet's birthday party, members of the Royal Family weren't invited. Tom said: "Shockingly no invitations to Lilibet's party were issued to members of the Royal Family." Last month Meghan enjoyed Mother's Day celebrations with both of her children, with the big day falling on May 11 in the US.

Andy Cohen weighs in on whether Real Housewives Of New Jersey will ever return after it was put on hiatus
Andy Cohen has shared an update on where Real Housewives of New Jersey stands after initially announcing last summer that the franchise was getting a reboot. The 57-year-old executive producer — who is accused of orchestrating an attack against a Bravo star — appeared on The View Tuesday morning, where he opened up to the panel of hosts. 'We are doing casting on [Real Housewives of] Jersey,' he confirmed, adding about the hiatus: 'It was really on a deep pause and we are actively there casting and looking at the future of what that will be.' Cohen also made it a point to tell viewers that he and the Bravo network as a whole think 'it is a great franchise and we love it.' The white-haired media personality was a guest on the show one day after celebrating his birthday. He wore a navy blue suit, striped white and blue shirt, and black-rimmed eyeglasses. Last July Cohen kept fans in suspense as he promised that Bravo would be doing 'something different' following the season 14 finale and reunion. Then, in August news came that the show likely wouldn't pick up filming until some point in 2025. The latest installment came to a close with Teresa Giudice, Jennifer Aydin, Dolores Catania, Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs, Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda as the main cast members. Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler also made appearances as friends. Details regarding updates on the series had been limited until Andy's visit to The View this week. But earlier this year Andy refuted claims that only Melissa and Dolores would return to the show, along with a selection of new personalities. According to Page Six, he clarified on his self-titled SiriusXM show in February: 'If it says, "Bravo has announced," or "Andy said on his radio..." then it is true. That's what I will tell you. Don't believe anything else.' On a March episode of her On Display podcast, Gorga revealed what she thinks is the reason the RHONJ franchise was 'ruined.' 'It was a constant game and it was a hunger game,' she explained. 'All the planning and planning and planning and plotting. 'I'm like, "Jesus Christ, do you guys ever sleep?"' 'We are doing casting on [Real Housewives of] Jersey,' he confirmed, adding about the hiatus: 'It was really on a deep pause and we are actively there casting and looking at the future of what that will be'; season 14 stars L-R Rachel Fuda, Margaret Josephs, Melissa Gorga, Dolores Catania, Teresa Giudice, Jennifer Aydin, Danielle Cabral Also during his spot on The View, the father-of-two talked up Bravo's forthcoming addition to the Housewives franchise — Real Housewives of Rhode Island. He spilled about the new show to Page Six, 'They are very Italian. Rhode Island is such a small state, and they all kind of know each other and overlap, and it's an incredible group of women who have really interesting connections. I think it's going to really surprise people.' And the longtime host compared it to RHONJ, noting that the main distinction is location. 'Well, they're in Rhode Island. It's coastal,' he stated, adding that the new lineup is 'more Italian' with 'deep families.'
