Shoppers can pick up the Rainbow nine tub storage unit for the cut-price deal in store, although it might not be in all branches.
One eagle-eyed customer found the bargain in their local B&M branch, posting about it on the B&M Scanner and Other Bargains Facebook page.
They said: "My bargain of the day, reduced to £25 from £35 but actually scanned at £15 so I brought (sic) two.
"Been looking for storage for little ones toys for ages and was reluctant to pay £50 plus for similar. Feeling very chuffed."
Shoppers looking to find the storage unit themselves will have to head to their nearest B&M branch as the retailer doesn't offer a home delivery service.
You can find your nearest B&M store via www.bmstores.co.uk/stores.
B&M says the storage unit should only be used inside while each of the nine tubs can store a maximum of two kilos each.
Shoppers can buy it in two colours - Rainbow and Safari.
The storage unit also comes with a customer satisfaction policy meaning if you're not happy with it you can return it within 30 days of purchase for a full refund or replacement.
You just need to take your proof of purchase, like a receipt, with you.
6 ways to get the biggest bargains in B&M
How to find bargains at B&M
One of the best ways to find bargains at your local B&M store is by downloading the B&M scanner app.
The app lets you use the camera on the your smartphone to scan barcodes and see what the true price of an item is.
It can take time, but sometimes products selling for just 10p will show up.
The app also offers you a description of the product you are scanning.
B&M super shopper Sam Penney also recently revealed her six top tips for bagging a bargain at the discount chain too.
The mum-of-two advised customers to look out for red and white stickers on products.
These are not used by B&M often, but are worth keeping an eye out for as they are placed on products which have been reduced in price.
Sam, who founded the B&M Scanner and Other Bargains Facebook page, also said shoppers will get the best bargains on Wednesday mornings.
This is when products are slashed in price by staff.
The bargain hunter also said it's worth speaking to B&M workers who can scan items and let you know if something is cheaper than its advertised price label.

Marks & Spencer advert banned for featuring ‘unhealthily thin' model
A Marks & Spencer advert has been banned by the advertising watchdog for featuring a model who looked 'unhealthily thin.' The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) concluded that it was 'irresponsible' for the retailer to use the image to advertise clothes on its mobile app. The ASA investigated the advert after receiving four complaints which questioned whether the use of the image was socially irresponsible, as they believed the model appeared unhealthily thin. The advertisement featured a model wearing a white, strapless top, holding a bag, wearing slim-fit black trousers and pointed shoes. M&S has removed the banned advert. / Credit: M&S/ASA M&S told the watchdog that, as standard practice, they ensured all models were in good health and they complied with industry standards and best practices to avoid promoting unhealthy body images. The ASA claimed the model's collar bones were very prominent, which was emphasised by her pose, and the large pointed shoes emphasised the slenderness of her legs. The camera angle made the model's head appear out of proportion with the rest of her body, highlighting her small frame, the ruling added. 'Therefore, we considered that the pose of the model and the choice of clothing meant the ad gave the impression that the model was unhealthily thin,' concluded the ASA. M&S apologised for any offence caused and removed the image, but said the model's pose was chosen to convey confidence and ease, not to accentuate her slimness. An M&S spokeswoman said: 'Our womenswear sizing ranges from size 8 to 24 and we always want to reflect that in our advertising. 'The product images on our website feature models of varying sizes so we can appeal to all our customers, however following the ASA guidance, we have removed this particular image from our website and apologise for any offence caused.' Three more images were reported to the ASA by consumers, but the watchdog said there was no breach and did not ban them. It is the latest in a string of issues for the retailer, following an attack by hackers which shut down its website for over six weeks, at an estimated cost of £300 million The M&S website was down for over six weeks after the retailer was hit by a cyberattack. / Credit: PA Marks & Spencer is not the only retailer to be accused of using adverts where models appear too thin. An advert by high street retailer giant Next was banned in February after the ASA concluded it to be 'irresponsible'. Similarly, the watchdog concluded the camera angle, styling and the model's pose emphasised the slimness of her legs. The ad, a product listing for denim leggings on the Next website in September, showed the model sitting on a wooden block with her legs extended towards the camera. The ruling found the model's thigh appeared to be the same width as her lower leg within the advert, although the watchdog noted that she didn't appear unhealthily thin in other photos. Wegovy, also known as semaglutide, is a weight-loss injection. / Credit: PA Are we seeing the return of 'heroin chic?' The term 'heroin chic' was popularised in the 1990s, and referred to and glamorised those who were very thin, possibly with dark circles and pale skin – traits which are also associated with heroin use. It was a term particularly aimed at thin models, among them Kate Moss, who dominated the runways at the time. It was common for celebrities to talk about how little they ate, and mocking those who were overweight was common in the media. The 2010s brought the body-positivity movement. It saw plus-size models were walking on major runways for the first time and clothing brands were increasingly bringing out more size-inclusive collections. In recent years however, plus-size models have reported their bookings are drying up and runways are seeing less representation. At the same time, 90s trends like low-rise jeans and baby tees are back in fashion. Some are attributing the change to the rise in popularity of weight loss drugs, with the widespread availability of injections bringing about a new trend of thinner bodies.

M&S handed mobile ad ban after using 'unhealthily thin' model
An advert by Marks & Spencer has been banned because of the model's appearance (Image: PA) A Marks and Spencer advert has been banned after the featured model was judged to be "unhealthily thin". The UK's advertising watchdog has ruled that it was "irresponsible" for M&S to use the image in question to promote its clothing on its mobile app. The Advertising Standards Authority criticised the ad, stating that the model, dressed in slim-fit trousers and a white top, "appeared thin and she wore large pointed shoes which emphasised the slenderness of her legs". The ASA's decision also noted that the camera angles made the model's head seem disproportionate and "highlighted her small frame". The ASA concluded: "Therefore, we considered that the pose of the model and the choice of clothing meant the ad gave the impression that the model was unhealthily thin". The company is still recovering from a damaging cyber attack (Image: PA) In response to the ban, Marks and Spencer expressed regret for any upset caused and promptly withdrew the image. A spokesperson for the company commented: "Our womenswear sizing ranges from size 8 to 24 and we always want to reflect that in our advertising." They continued: "The product images on our website feature models of varying sizes so we can appeal to all our customers, however following the ASA guidance, we have removed this particular image from our website and apologise for any offence caused." While three additional images were brought to the attention of the ASA by concerned consumers, the authority did not find these to be in violation, thus no further action against the retailer was taken. It comes as four people have been arrested by police investigating the M&S, Co-op and Harrods cyber attacks. The arrests include three teenagers - a 17-year-old British man from the West Midlands, a 19-year-old Latvian man from the West Midlands, a 19-year-old British man from London - and a 20-year-old British woman from Staffordshire. The individuals were detained on suspicion of blackmail, money laundering, offences linked to the Computer Misuse Act and participating in the activities of an organised crime group. All four people remain in custody. Paul Foster, head of the NCA's National Cyber Crime Unit, said: 'Since these attacks took place, specialist NCA cybercrime investigators have been working at pace and the investigation remains one of the agency's highest priorities. 'Today's arrests are a significant step in that investigation but our work continues, alongside partners in the UK and overseas, to ensure those responsible are identified and brought to justice.' M&S was forced to shut down its online store following the cyber attack, which happened during Easter weekend and affected contactless payments in stores, as well as click and collect orders. It was later confirmed that customer data, including names, email addresses, addresses and dates of birth - but it does not include card or payment details, was stolen. The boss of M&S last week issued an update, and said the rest of its online operations will reopen by next month. The supermarket started resuming online orders in June but some services are still not back to normal. For example, you still cannot place an order for click and collect or next day delivery. M&S is also still is not delivering to Northern Ireland. Stuart Machin, CEO of M&S, expects these services to be fully restored from August. Speaking to shareholders at the retailer's annual general meeting, he said: "Since these attacks took place, specialist NCA cybercrime investigators have been working at pace and the investigation remains one of the Agency's highest priorities.
