B&M shoppers say 'no way' after spotting 'vegetables' available to buy in stores
B&M shoppers might feel like they missed a few weeks of the year when they see the latest homeware range. However, some were fully embracing the spirit of the new seasonal items, and they're not particularly summery.
Posting the the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, Ashleigh found a whole display of the newly released products on a shelf in her local B&M branch. However, they stood out against the paddling pools and other 'hot weather' items for a glaringly obvious reason.
They are all autumn-themed, with many items in the shape of one particular vegetable - pumpkin. The wreaths, cushions, and throw blankets might seem a little early, given that it's not even August yet, but, some shoppers seemed just as thrilled as Ashleigh to be able to stock up and plan their seasonal decor in advance thanks to B&M's latest collection.
The pictures Ashleigh uploaded from around her local B&M showed a huge door wreath adorned with red, orange, and yellow leaves and pine cones. There was also a £10 boucle throw blanket in a rich pumpkin orange shade and £6 decorative pumpkins to add to displays around the home.
Ashleigh also found a variety of scented candles for the upcoming cooler months, including the classic pumpkin-spiced latte and caramel apple latte in small tins. Some bigger options included an Apple pie-scented dish candle for £4 and a tiny toadstool tealight holder for £3.
People raced to the comments to have their say about the new items. One loved the wreath and said: "I am HAVING this!" Another wrote: "I love them colours!"
A third commented: "Never too early! Love those candles!" Someone else put: "Can't wait for this season!" A fifth fan added: "The pie candles are gorgeous. Hope they smell nice too!" And, one more said: "Ready for these and cosy nights in!"
Not every item is showing online, as it appears to be very new to B&M. It would be best for shoppers wanting to get their hands on items to visit the closest branch and scout out the collection in person.
Others were less than thrilled to see them. One put: "Let us have summer please!" Another posted: "It'll be time for the Christmas bits soon!" And, a third person commented: "Getting earlier every year this!"
B&M isn't the only place getting into the autumnal spirit early as, recently, shoppers at Primark issued their own 'code orange' alert after spotting 'fruit' for sale in stores. Not your typical produce, this was also a display of autumnal homeware, including pumpkin-shaped and scented items.
Some claimed the brand was "wishing away" summer, while others were 100% here for the early arrival of the next season. TikTok use Abby captioned her now viral video, as: "Never too early for us autumn gals!"

Shoppers go mad for £20 furniture from B&M that doubles up as organisation for your plants
SHOPPERS are going wild for a £20 item at B&M which doubles as a set of shelves and a stand for your plants. The budget-friendly retailer says that the stocks are low, as customers race to their local stores. 3 B&M is known for its incredible savings and bargains, with its products regularly going viral online. One eagle-eyed shopper spotted the Spaceways 6 Tier Plastic Storage stack in their local store and immediately took to social media to share their find. The huge set of shelves can be ranged in a variety of ways, from three separate stands to one tall stack. It is perfect for storing pictures, plants or books and has dimensions of 38.5 x 33 x 151cm. The shelf comes in black and, according to B&M, it is 'easy' to assemble. The set costs just £20, but, according to B&M, stocks are low. The customer who spotted the item posted their find in Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook and shoppers from across the country have gone wild. One excited Facebook user posted: 'ooop need this for plant pots!!!!' Another said that they loved the original poster's way of setting their shelves up, saying: 'Ooooo I like how you've put it together. Fab idea. I want one now.' Others had creative ideas of their own, with one clever shopper saying: 'This could be good to use as shelving in a shed.' Shoppers are racing to B&M for Molly-Mae's latest collection & there are some incredible scents for less than a fiver The news comes after another wave of B&M's products went viral on social media. The Boucel Barstool in Beige is currently retailing for just £1, instead of the usual price of £20. According to one customer though, only the beige barstool is on sale - meaning fans are racing to shops before it sells out. B&M regularly slashes the price of its products, as it clears out its stock to make room for exciting new products. The Peyton Leather Effect Bench is now half price at £45, down from £90. The Chicago table is currently selling for just £40, after being reduced from £110 - a 63 per cent saving. The set also includes two benches, making it a great choice for fine dining. Asda has launched its luxury table and chair set, with the rattan garden-set. The sell-out product costs £149 and comes in a light, summery design which makes it perfect for enjoying the warmer weather. Meanwhile, Tesco's own rattan-set is retailing for just £16 as it clears its shelves. Originally costing £25, the supermarket has slashed £9 off the cost of the popular garden product. When comparing products, it is important to check the specifications so you buy the item that is best suited for your purposes. COMPARE PRICES FOR THE BEST DEAL JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal. There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to. Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers. Here are some that we recommend: Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results. Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock. Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one. CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of. 3

Posting on social media, Paige gave her followers a close-up look at her home before and after its makeover. What was once a very plain space has since been given a total transformation, all whilst on a budget. As Paige shared a snap outside her home, she wrote: 'Told them 'yeah I live in a housing association home.'' Moments later, she revealed a comment she often hears from haters: 'Ew, housing association tenants don't look after their house.' But eager to clap back at keyboard warriors, Paige uploaded a series of snaps of her gorgeous home, leaving many gobsmacked. Paige confirmed that she nabbed bargains from the high-street to create a trendy, beige aesthetic. Alongside the video, the content creator wrote: 'Love our little home.' Paige later revealed that she bought her kitchen table and chairs from B&Q for just £50. She also acknowledged that the property has been painted with the Dulux Trade Brilliant White paint, which you can buy from B&Q, Screwfix and Wickes. Trolls say council houses can't look nice but my stunning hallway will prove them wrong Not only this, but the bargain hunter bought a large mirror from The Range, which was reduced from £100 to £50, as well as garden furniture from Dunelm. The savvy mum then confirmed that she is 'not allowed to decorate' the council house, so rather than using wallpaper to add style to her child's bedroom, she added wall stickers from Shein. She explained: 'It's a brand new build so I have to wait a year for it to settle so I'm finding other ways I can give it a bit of personality without painting and wallpapering!'

For a quick glow-up for your floors or anywhere with tiles, opt for stick-on vinyl to save on costs. A lick of paint does wonders to make a room feel brand-new. Switch out kitchen cupboard knobs for modern ones instead of buying brand-new cupboards DIY fans beam Paige's TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @paigebrill17, has clearly impressed many, as it has quickly racked up 173,000 views, 4,793 likes, 210 comments and 397 saves. DIY fans were impressed with Paige's beautiful home and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this. Wow! You've made that a home TikTok user One person said: 'It really annoys me how some people look down on others just because they live in a council house. We work hard, and if we want to, we can make our home look beautiful - even without spending a lot of money. 'People shouldn't judge based on that. Well done you, your house looks amazing.' Another added: 'You've made it into a beautiful home for you and your family. Your housing association is lucky to have such good tenants.' The reality of living in a council house LEANNE Hall, Digital Writer at Fabulous, has discussed what it was like growing up in a council house, and why those living in such properties are often judged... When I was a child I grew up in a council house, and was blissfully unaware of the discrimination that came with that, until I became an adult. My younger years were spent running up and down the stairs of my flat, meeting with other friends who lived there and making the most of the communal garden. But now, it seems no matter your circumstance, everyone has something to say about why you shouldn't be there. Living just outside of London like I did, rent prices are still high, and as my mum was at home raising three kids at the time, it wasn't easy to find a job that fit around that. People in council houses are often labelled as 'scroungers' or 'lazy' but it's nothing of the sort. Most families in council homes experience overcrowding, and let's not even mention the horrendous amount of damp and mould that comes from living in old social housing that hasn't had work done to them in 50 or so years. It's not ideal for many, but it does provide a secure home without the fear your rent will shoot up every single year, which I would argue is vital to children growing up on the poverty line. A third commented: 'Stunning home.' Meanwhile, someone else beamed: 'My dream.' Whilst another gushed: 'Wow! You've made that a home.' In response, Paige wrote back and confirmed: 'Thank you! It's getting there. I still have so much to do/put up etc!' Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club
