B&M shoppers rush to buy stylish home furniture scanning at just £5 instead of £30
SHOPPERS are rushing to B&M to get their hands on sleek kitchen furniture selling for just £5. The stylish metal barstools were originally £30, but one eagle-eyed customer picked one up for £5, saving a whopping £25. The savvy customer shared a photo of their impressive find on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook page. Other followers tagged friends to share the huge saving. The shopper who spotted the deal was at the B&M shop in Portadown. The Aydan barstool has a chrome finish metal base and a grey velvet seat. The stool's height can be adjusted, ideal for all households. If you see something you like in the B&M sale it may be worth comparing prices online to make sure you are not missing a better deal elsewhere. 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. You can find your nearest B&M by visiting Top products to always buy at B&M What other offers are available at B&M? It's not the only offer at B&M in recent weeks. If barstools aren't on the shopping list, the store also has huge savings on lounge chairs too.

WE all love B&M (especially me). It's a one-stop-shop where you can nab all things from gardenware and homeware, to snacks and cleaning supplies. Not only do we love the variety B&M offers (because after all, who can be bothered to go to five different shops anymore?!), but the prices are brilliant too. If you're on a budget, B&M is definitely worth vising - as it's full of cheap bargain buys. Not only will you find affordable items, but B&M is full of dupes too - so if you're after beauty buys without the designer price tag, you'll need to take a trip. Similar to this, the chain are eager to get on trends - so if you see something in H&M Home but are on a budget and can't justify the price, give it a few weeks and you'll probably spot something similar on the shelves in your local B&M.

Shoppers are racing to snap up bargain £5 hydrangeas from high street chain & they come in ‘all colours'
IF you want to add a splash of colour to your garden, you may wish to pop to B&M. One savvy shopper spotted how the bargain chain has been selling hydrangeas for £5 each. 5 5 Bargain hunter Liv, who posts under @livloves, uploaded a video from her local store and their vast collection of options. She wrote: 'Run to B&M for £5 hydrangeas in all colours.' From pretty blue options to bright pink and purple flowers, the store has a vast array of choices for your outdoor space. They also have white ones if you prefer a more neutral outdoor space. While they are just small sizes now, one gardening fan advised how they will grow 'massive' if you stick them in the ground. Alternatively you can put them in a large pot if you want them to expand. One shopper said their hydrangeas had tripled in size in just a month, so if you look after them properly you could end up with a beautiful display. Liv's video has racked up nearly 3,000 likes, and people seemed quick to want to snap up the hydrangeas for themselves. One said: 'I love hydrangea! Just require so much watering.' A second added: 'I know where I'm going tomorrow.' I'm a gardener, how to cut hydrangeas properly and the best time to do it this month, for full blooms next summer Meanwhile, a third joked: 'You won't catch me running anywhere but for a £5 hydrangea I would do a light jog.' Hydrangeas typically bloom from late spring to early autumn, depending on the climate and conditions. Typically any colour changes occur because of aluminum availability in the soil, with pink or red flowers thriving in neutral to alkaline soil with a pH of over 7.0, while blue ones prefer an acidic soil of under 6 pH. Hydrangeas are perennials, which means they come back year after year with the right care. They can live for decades, in the right conditions, meaning they could be a good long-term investment for your garden. 5 5 How to prune a Hydrangea The easiest way is to cut the dead bloom off the plant. Snip as far down as the next new buds on the stem, if these are visible or to wherever looks appropriate. For a more established plants you can cut old stems back to the base to encourage new growth. Use clean, sharp garden shears or scissors to ensure a clean cut and no damage to your plant. 5 New stems will not bloom until the following year. What happens if you don't cut back Hydrangeas? Hydrangeas can become congested if they are not pruned. They do not bloom as well if the stem is woody or dead. When you prune back your hydrangea you help it grow stronger for future buds. It also will look much nicer with all the browning flowers removed. 8 must-have plants to brighten up your garden Nick Hamilton owner of Barnsdale Gardens has shared his favourite plants and flowers you should consider adding to your garden, borders and pots. Tricyrtis A spectacular plant that gives a real exotic feel to any garden with its orchid-like, spotted flowers giving the impression that this plant should be tender but it is 'as tough as old boots!'. Penstemon I love this plants genus of because most will flower all summer and autumn. They'll grow in sun or semi-shade in a well drained soil and produce a non-stop display of tubular flowers in an array of colours and colour combination to suit all tastes. Luzula sylvatica 'Marginata' With the evergreen leaves edged with yellow it's great asset is that it will grow in sun or shade in any type of soil and is great as groundcover in the hardest spot to fill - dry shade. Eryngium x zabelii 'Big Blue' A stunning, nectar-rich plant that will feed the beneficial insects in your garden. Leave the flowerheads once they have turned brown because they look stunning with winter frost and snow, extending the plant's interest period. Sarcococca hookeriana 'Winter Gem' If you need winter scent then look no further than this compact, evergreen shrub. The scent is stunning and the evergreen leaves create an excellent backdrop for the summer flowers. Cornus sanguinea 'Anny's Winter Orange' A dwarf version of 'Midwinter Fire' the very colourful stems create a stunning winter display, particularly on sunny days. Rosa 'Noisette Carnee' A very well-behaved climbing rose that is perfect for training over an arch, pergola or gazebo. The small, 'noisette' flowers are blush-pink and produce the most amazing clove scent constantly from June to November. Sanguisorba hakusanensis 'Lilac Squirrel' I've never seen a squirrel with a drooping, shaggy lilac tail, but this variety will give your garden an unusual and different look throughout summer. It does need a moisture retentive soil but will grow in sun or semi-shade.

Five ways to keep your kids cool in the heat IT can be really difficult - and costly - to keep kids cool when it's hot outside. But Fabulous Digital Senior Reporter and mum-of-two Sarah Bull shares five ways to help, and they won't break the budget either. Strip them off It might sound simple, but stripping kids off at home can really help them regulate their temperature when it's warm outside. Just remember to regularly apply suncream, as more of their skin will be exposed to the sun. Cool down bedrooms before nighttime When it's hot outside, it can be difficult for kids to go to sleep - especially if their bedroom feels like an oven. If you have a room that's not in direct sunshine, keep the windows open to let in a breeze. It's also a good idea to keep the curtains closed, to prevent the room from heating up. Wear a hat Another simple technique, but one that really works. Make sure that if your kids are playing outside, they've got a hat on. It keeps their face and head shielded from the sun, and also helps if you've got a little one who struggles with bright sunlight. If your tot struggles to keep a hat on, try one with a strap that goes under the chin to help. Avoid the car The car can be one of the hottest places during a heatwave, and often takes a long time to cool down. If you have the option, it's better to stay at home rather than taking kids out anywhere in a hot car. Stay hydrated This is always important, but even more so in a heatwave. Make sure you're regularly reminding your kids to have a drink, and top them up with cool liquids whenever you can. Use ice too to ensure it's as cold as it can possibly be. A third tagged a loved one and commented: 'We need this!' Whilst someone else beamed: 'That's class for £12.99!' Not only this, but one shopper sighed: 'I've just paid £30 from Tesco for this.'
