When it comes to getting the best deals, Facebook is often a great place to find them thanks to the endless groups with people sharing what they have found.
And thanks to one shopper, people are keen to visit their local B&M after one mum spotted the £3 deal. Surprising shoppers with the find, the mum said that instead of paying £70 for the homewear, she paid less than a fiver for all three combined.
Danielle Harper snagged the deal from the budget retailer for the reduced price thanks to a scanner found on the B&M app. As reported by MEN, she shared a photo of her haul on a budget Facebook group saying: "Finally found a Bargain at B&M by using the scanner in the App! Each rug - £1 each!!"

And of course, she was soon inundated with questions from shoppers about how she did it.
Explaining what she did, the shopper said she managed to get the deal by going to the scanner on the app, which is found at the bottom of the screen, allowing you to scan the barcode of any item in store to see if the price has come down.
It mainly picks up items that are being sold off, including end of line and clearance products, which staff have not yet had chance to mark down in store.
She explained: "When you're in store open the app onto the scanner and you can scan anything you want that they sell. I've been doing it a while and only just found these bargains so it can be hit and miss, but there's lots of 'sets' etc in the sale after Xmas so it's a great time to use the scanner to find some cheaper things as they don't always mark them down on the shelves.
Many of the shoppers said they'll be giving the app a go themselves with one commenting: "We need to download the app and have a day out in B&M scanning for bargains."
Another added: "We need to go!!" and a third said: "How did I not know about this."
One woman said when she's tried it the barcode isn't always recognised on the scanner, to which someone replied it could be even more of a bargain.
"If the item isn’t recognised in the scanner and it’s older stock it’s usually 10p," she said. "Sometimes it can be new stock that isn’t on the system yet, but 90 per cent of the time it’s 10p."
A spokesperson for B&M said the scanner launched around three years ago and has built up a huge following - it's so popular in fact that there are Facebook groups where people share what they've managed to find in stores.
She said: "B&M aim to provide customers with an exciting shopping experience, always offering great products at fantastic prices. We’re delighted that our customers love finding a bargain deal as much as we do, and the scanner app has continued to grow in popularity since it launched.
"The dedication shown by the army of bargain hunters to seek out the best deals is proof that everybody loves a bargain."
