And for just £2.50, you can pick up a plate with the phrase "Living the dream" written on it, accompanied by more bows.
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.
Or for just 50p extra, you can opt for a plain cream plate with black lining and bow detailing.
Shopper reactions
B&M customers shared their excitement for the new items in the comments section.
"Love love love," wrote one impressed viewer.
Another shopper said they were "obsessed" with the new buys on offer.
A third person tagged their friend, saying: "We need to gooooo."
More B&M buys
Other B&M shoppers picked up toys for as little as £1 as they already look ahead to Christmas.
And the retailer also recently launched its own Specialbuys sale to rival Aldi.
One shopper used B&M buys to transform their rental garden on a budget.

Card Factory nabs Funky Pigeon brand as WH Smith focuses on travel
Card Factory will buy online personalised card company Funky Pigeon from WH Smith for £24million. It comes as WH Smith sells off its non-core assets, as well as its high street business, to become a pure-play travel retailer with stores in airports and train stations. The deal also marks a significant shift from the high street to online for Card Factory, which told shareholders on Tuesday the takeover will make it the second largest online card and attached gift retailer in the market. Over the last two years, Funky Pigeon has generated around £32million revenue per year and £5million in adjusted earnings before nasties.. The deal, which values Funky Pigeon at £26million, represents approximately five times Funky Pigeon's earnings. Card Factory said the acquisition would accelerate the company's existing digital strategy. Chief executive Darcy Willson-Rymer added: 'This acquisition marks a significant step forward in Card Factory's strategy to build a scaled, competitive digital presence in the celebration occasions market. 'It brings a high-quality platform and proven technology, accelerating our ability to compete in the direct-to-recipient card and gifting segment, so supporting our ambition to become the leading omnichannel retailer in our sector.' The deal will be funded from a drawdown of up to £35million under Card Factory's existing borrowing facility. Once approved, it plans to extract 'annual synergy benefits of more than £5million'. Its outlook for the year - of mid-to-high single-digit percentage growth in sales and adjusted profit - remain unchanged. FTSE 250-listed Card Factory shares were up 8.1 per cent to 96p by midmorning on Tuesday. WH Smith said the Funky Pigeon sale followed a 'strategic review' of the business and 'will be used to improve the group's net debt position.' It marks the latest asset disposal for the high street stalwart, after it group agreed a £76million sale of its high street business to Hobbycraft owner Modella. The sale of its high street arm comes after years of under-pressure sales and profits at the division, while WH Smith's travel business has grown to make up the bulk of its sales and profits, with more than 1,200 stores across 32 countries. It will focus its efforts on its stores in train station and airports, ditching the WH Smith name for the TGJones brand.

Barclays joins rival in cautioning against hiking bank taxes
The boss of Barclays has become the latest to caution the Chancellor against hiking taxes for banks in her autumn budget as she looks to bolster the public finances. Group chief executive CS Venkatakrishnan, who is also known as Venkat, said that increasing taxes for banks – or other important sectors of the economy – was not consistent with aims to boost economic growth. He said banks were already 'among the biggest tax payers in this country' and an important sector to help drive economic activity, with growth 'the primary objective for the UK'. 'There are many other important sectors. 'We want all those sectors to prosper,' he added. His comments come after Lloyds Banking Group chief executive Charlie Nunn said last week that raising taxes on banks would be at odds with the Government's pro-growth aims. There has been increasing speculation that Chancellor Rachel Reeves may look to raise taxes, with the banking sector rumoured to be among those potentially in the firing line, as she faces pressure over the UK's public finances following higher-than-expected Government borrowing and U-turns on some spending cuts. Venkat's comments came as the group revealed that half-year profits jumped by nearly a quarter thanks to an investment banking boost amid financial market volatility sparked by US President Donald Trump's tariff war. The high street lender reported a 23% rise in pre-tax profits to £5.2 billion for the six months to June 30. This came despite it booking credit impairment charges of £1.1 billion, up from £897 million a year earlier, after putting by another £469 million in the second quarter. The bank said the rise was largely due to its takeover of Tesco Bank and a more uncertain economic outlook, especially in the US. Its results were better than expected for the second quarter, with profits up 28% to £2.5 billion thanks to forecast-beating revenues in its investment banking arm amid market volatility. Income in its investment banking business lifted 10% to £3.3 billion in the second quarter. Venkat said: 'We remain on track to achieve the objectives of our three-year plan, delivering structurally higher and more stable returns for our investors.' Barclays unveiled more returns for investors, with plans for another £1 billion in share buybacks, and said it has cut around £350 million of costs out of the £500 million in savings planned for 2025.

Greggs profits slide due to hot weather and cautious customers
Greggs has revealed a slump in profits as it was knocked by hot weather and caution among shoppers over their finances. The boss of the high street bakery chain said that many consumers are 'saving rather than spending' due to continued pressure on their household finances. The Newcastle-based business revealed that pre-tax profits fell by 14.3% to £63.5 million for the half-year to June 28, compared to a year earlier. It said the first half of 2025 was impacted by 'challenging market footfall, more weather disruption than in 2024' and increased costs. Earlier this month, Greggs told shareholders that soaring temperatures in June dragged on demand for its hot food over the month. On Tuesday, the group added that it was also affected by heavy snow and strong winds in January. Roisin Currie, chief executive of Greggs, told the PA news agency that it has experienced 'challenging' conditions on the high street this year. 'If you look at all the consumer confidence data, it remains low and points to cautious and fragile customers,' she said. 'They are saving rather than spending and that means they aren't out and about on the high street as much. 'Customers are worried about their finances and being very careful about their spending, but we do think Greggs is in a positive position because of our strong value offer.' The retail business said sales still grew by 7% to £1.03 billion for the half-year, as it was buoyed by new stores. Greggs said like-for-like sales across company-managed stores grew 2.6%, with 4.8% growth across franchise sites. Ms Currie also said the business still believes it can expand to 'significantly more than 3,000' sites across the UK. In the latest half-year, Greggs opened 87 new stores but also shut 56 sites, leaving it with an estate of 2,649 shops at the end of June. It said it is on track for between 140 and 150 net new shop openings this year, with more store openings weighted to the second half of 2025. Ms Currie added: 'After a challenging start to 2025 we remain clear on the strategic opportunities that lie ahead. 'Through our disciplined estate expansion and focus on innovation, Greggs is evolving its offer further and making the brand more convenient for a wider range of customers. 'The outlook for cost inflation is unchanged and we are making great progress in building the supply chain infrastructure that will support the next phase of growth.' Mark Crouch, market analyst at EToro, said: 'Greggs has long been a reliable read on the UK high street. 'Its sudden stumble suggests consumers may not just be cooling on sausage rolls, but that appetite across the high street may be waning more broadly. 'With inflation easing and real wages recovering, the macro backdrop should, in theory, be supportive. That it isn't showing up in Greggs' numbers is a red flag.' Greggs shares were 2.2% lower in early trading on Tuesday.
