Dunelm shoppers rush to pick up ‘stunning' furniture bargains scanning at tills for £345 less in huge clearance
DUNELM shoppers are dashing to stores to bag major furniture deals in a huge clearance sale.
One chuffed customer saved an eye-watering £344.60 after picking up two stylish wooden pieces.
Sharing their bargain find on Facebook, they told followers that they'd purchased an Olney Storage Coffee Table and Wide Sideboard for just £73.40.
The oak sideboard alone originally cost £249, and the coffee table was £169.
Other members of Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK flocked to the comment section to congratulate him on the impressive find.
"Brilliant," one wrote, while a second added: "Nice find, well done, the coffee table is stunning".
It's worth remembering that while this is an incredible deal, it may not be repeated across multiple stores.
It's always best to phone ahead to your local store to make sure it has stock in.
Stores might discount some items to clear old stock from their shelves, or if the item appears damaged or defective.
In some cases, like this one, the item might be dirty but will look good as new after a clean.
It's worth noting that usually if you buy something with a known fault, you won't be able to return it for that reason.

Another savvy shopper revealed a little-known hack to bag trendy items from the store for a massively reduced price.
Taking to TikTok, the interiors fan, who posts via the account @maskedreno, shared how anyone can enjoy "up to 75% off" everything from sofas to lamps.
The secret? Heading to one of Dunelm's outlet shops.
In the viral clip, the bargain hunter said: "I wasn't expecting to find much as when I went I couldn't find anything except for an odd yellow sticker, but then I went upstairs and boy, there was so much. I could've spend ages in there.
"I do love a good deal, if anyone's decorating or buying their new home I recommend checking this place out."
The sprawling space was stacked with discounted finds, including a trendy wooden side cabinet, originally priced at £499 but reduced to just £125.
And another even larger cabinet was slashed from £729 to £182.
The shop also had plenty of lighting up for grabs, including a stylish table lamp which was originally priced at £20 but was marked down to £14.
The discount shop had other items as well, including a sweet rattan shelf in the shape of a hot air balloon - perfect for kids' bedrooms.
The shopper even spotted a kids desk and stool set for just £38.50, reduced from £55.
Dunelm frequently has sales and promotions giving you up to 75% off, especially at certain times of the year.

Once-in-a-Generation Advice Changes to Help Millions Navigate Their Financial Lives
Millions more people could get help navigating their financial lives with support on pensions and investments, under proposals announced today by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The FCA's proposals would allow firms to offer a new type of help called 'targeted support' and make suggestions to groups of consumers with common characteristics. These could include people who may be currently drawing down on their pension unsustainably, not saving enough for retirement or who have excess cash sitting in a current account. The changes, which have inbuilt protections for consumers, also support growth by enabling increased investment and innovation. Sarah Pritchard, Deputy Chief Executive of the FCA, said, 'We want to help consumers navigate their financial lives and plan for the long term. Some of the most difficult financial decisions we face are how to save, invest and prepare for a comfortable retirement. 'These once-in-a-generation reforms will help people navigate their financial lives and give them greater confidence to invest. This is a win-win for consumers and firms alike.' These reforms should set the framework for the next 20-30 years, to support consumers now as well as future generations. The FCA wants to see a thriving and trusted market for full financial advice, simplified advice, targeted support and guidance. Alongside today's proposals for targeted support, the FCA has set out plans to reform the framework for simplified advice. Consumer access to a choice of guidance, targeted support, simplified advice and full financial advice should help reduce the so-called 'advice gap'. This supports our ambition that consumers should have access to the help and guidance that they need, at a cost they can afford, when they need it, to make informed decisions about their financial lives. This advice gap is stark. Just 9% of adults received financial advice about their pensions or investments in the previous 12 months, according to the FCA's latest Financial Lives survey (FLS 2024). Of those who did not receive financial advice, but hold £10,000 or more in cash savings, 24% said they don't invest because they don't know enough about it, 12% because they feel overwhelmed by the number of options available, and 8% said they would need more support before they invest. There are about 7 million adults in the UK with £10,000 or more in cash savings who may be missing out on the benefits of investing throughout their lives. The FCA has worked in a smarter way to carry out this work, running its very first 6 week policy sprint, where firms designed consumer journeys to help design the rules in the consultation, with support from consumer representatives and other members of the regulatory family. Detailed consumer testing has also been completed, published alongside the consultation. The aim of this detailed sprint, and consumer testing, has been to help then accelerate the period for consultation, which is now open for 8 weeks. The FCA is also working with the government to help resolve issues that might prevent firms communicating with consumers, with issues having been identified early through the policy sprint. The FCA committed to support growth in its strategy. These reforms are among almost 50 initiatives the FCA set out in a letter to the Prime Minister in January 2025, which the FCA is delivering against this year.

‘I was in a dark place. Now I'm moving house to restart motherhood'
My divorce was turbulent. I was left in my thirties to bring up three children, with no financial contribution or involvement from their father. We split the equity from our marital home 50/50 and with that I took on a mortgage on my four-bedroom town house in St Albans, Hertfordshire, but only by maximising my mortgage loan and putting £10,000 on a credit card to secure the house. I didn't want to, but we needed a home, and I also knew that paying rent wasn't getting me anywhere [says Sabrina Ponte, 59]. It was quite simple: I had to work, and hard. I got a job at a publisher, HR Grapevine, selling online advertising. I had a base salary, but commission went up and down. My employer was supportive, but the responsibility was mine. After three years I started to get into trouble with the mortgage payments: it just became too much. The credit card loan had climbed from the original £10,000 that I borrowed to £40,000 after interest was applied. I was too proud to ask my parents or friends for help, so I just dealt with it myself. I sought the advice of a debt management adviser. They told me that I should stop paying it back and consolidated the debt for me. It took me six years in total to clear it. It was one of the darkest times of my life — we had little money to live on after I paid off the mortgage and loan. I tried to make Christmas and birthdays special, but there wasn't much else. I did up my daughters' bedrooms myself, stripped wallpaper and re-painted their wardrobes, putting new handles on. • Read more expert advice on property, interiors and home improvement My main thoughts were always to keep a roof over our heads, food on the table and them safe. Due to my full-time job, I was unable to attend many key moments such as school plays, concerts and some sports days. I do feel sad about that. In sales you need to put the hours in to get the deals so that's what I did. My children are now in their thirties, and by re-mortgaging I was able to help them get onto the property ladder. I have shown them that if you work hard, you can own a home and I'm proud that each of them has achieved that. When the last of my three moved out, I knew it was time to move on. I have put them first my whole life. I have a new partner and it's a second chance at love. My house has meant so much, but we want to be together. Since the house down the road took over a year to sell, I decided to try a new sales approach. I used Springbok; it takes cash offers with no chains. It sold in two months. The plan is to rent together close to the school gates, but so far we have found it hard to secure a property and I have had to extend the completion date on my house. Most letting agents appear to be unresponsive or slow at getting viewings — we were prepared to put down the deposit on one place without seeing it to speed up the process, but they had tenants that they couldn't shift. • 'To ease the pain of my divorce, I transformed my home' I will cry buckets when I close the door on this house, but I have achieved what I set out to. The house sold for £460,000 and I have a mortgage to clear of £100,000 so that's a great nest egg. My partner is a builder, and we dream of buying a plot of land after two years and building our own home. It does feel like a second chance at motherhood too. I love my children dearly, but at times it was tough and I had to be both mum and dad to them: do the hard bits, the discipline, the homework nagging, the picking them off from the floor when they had a bad time, you name it. This time round, it's more like being a grandparent — we have my partner's child 50 per cent of the time and I can do all the fun bits that I wasn't always able to do with my own. I also skip the real challenges — I don't have to go to parents' evening and when there is a need to be strict, I hand him back to his dad. I am excited to be mortgage-free even though it has been so important to me to have a property for most of my life — the difference is that this time all my children are grown up and I just get to nurture and have fun playing mum again but without the stresses first time around. New walls equal new chapters and I can't wait.

We need to find out why family life is falling apart
F or generations it has been taken for granted that the family unit is the cornerstone of the local community and, more generally, of wider society. But in recent years, almost unnoticed, changes of fundamental importance have steadily had a substantial impact on the structure and nature of family life. Office for National Statistics figures show that the number of marriages has fallen by 40 per cent in less than half a century and the birthrate has now reached an all-time low of 1.44 children per woman. As Professor Kathleen Kieran wrote in 2022: 'As well as relatively more children being born into lone-mother families, Britain has high and increasing rates of parental separation.' So much so that 'families in Britain are notably more fragile and complex compared with other western European countries, with high and increasing rates of parental separation: 44 per cent of children born at the beginning of this century will not have grown up living with both their biological parents (to the age of 17), more than double the figure for those born in 1970.' Last month Unicef published a report concluding that the UK was 21st out of 36 countries in terms of the wellbeing of children. It may be significant that the number of children assessed as 'persistently absent' from school is stubbornly high at about 1.5 million. The number of young people not in education, employment or training aged 16 to 24 is now estimated at just short of one million. In addition, The Times reported last month that 'nearly a quarter of parents with adult children have seen them move back in to the family home only two years after leaving it', the average age of return being 26. As the population continues to age, and as more young people survive with profound disabilities, demands on family members grow. A House of Lords report estimated that there are between 4.2 million and 6.5 million unpaid carers in the UK, and the actual figure is likely to be much higher. The average person, it said, now has a 50 per cent chance of becoming an unpaid carer by the time they reach 50. The above examples simply touch on the many changes that are now affecting family life in this country. Allowing the current changes to drift on while being little understood and neglected is the worst of all possible actions. The time has surely come for the government to establish a serious study in the form of a Royal Commission to better understand the forces which are driving these changes in family life and to preserve those elements of family life we hold dear.
