Bargain hunters go wild after spotting £5 buy in B&M – it’ll transform your messy patio & instantly hide moss & weeds
BARGAIN hunters are going wild after spotting a purse-friendly buy in B&M that’ll transform your patio in an instant.
So with spring in full swing and summer right around the corner, if you want to get your garden looking glam, then you’ve come to the right place.
And particularly if your patio is covered in moss and weeds that you’re on a mission to hide, then this is just the thing for you.
One savvy shopper was left open-mouthed when browsing the aisles in her local B&M, when she spotted a £5 buy that will turn a grubby patio from drab to fab with barely any effort involved.
Thrilled with her cheap find, Catherine Jacinto Dela Cruz eagerly raced to social media to alert others to the bargain buy.
Posting on BARGAIN LOVERS Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More, a public Facebook group with 809,000 members, Catherine shared a snap of her finds – a four pack of Interlocking Floor tiles.
Alongside her post, Catherine simply penned: “Floor tiles spotted at B&M for £5.”
Thanks to these SIMPLY Garden black tiles, your outside space is sure to stand out and look stylish.
Not only are the tiles great for creating a luxurious patio area, but they are also perfect for placing in between vegetable patches or alongside flower beds and inside greenhouses.
As well as this, green-fingered enthusiasts can even use the patterned tiles to create walkways or paths around their lawn and garden.
They’re super easy to apply and all you need to do is add more tiles together to create larger areas.
Catherine’s Facebook post has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it was shared just 12 hours ago but has since amassed 228 likes and 79 comments.
Big divide
Social media users quickly flocked to the comments, keen to share their thoughts on the high-street buy.
One person said: “Love this.”
How to save money at B&M
Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M's scanner app.
The scanner lets you see if an item’s price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label.
Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift.
The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
According to one ex-B&M manager, you’ll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.
Here’s how you can join the B&M bargain hunt:
- Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play.
- Once you’ve installed it on your device, click on the option labelled “more” on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page.
- You’ll then find an option that says “barcode scanner”. Click on this and you’ll open a camera screen.
- Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check.
- If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price.
- You don’t need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner.
Another added: “They are great, got them in our garden.”
A third commented: “l found them very good, bought some more this year to extend the area for the patio table to go on.”

Despite this, not everyone was as impressed, as one shopper claimed: “These are very flimsy if you intend to put stuff on top of them. I wouldn’t bother there more for decoration than anything else. I had them and they broke, just saying if anyone is interested.”
A second slammed: “Bad quality. Flimsy bendy plastic just cracks. Don’t waste your money.”
Whilst someone else remarked: “They are useless, very uneven, trip hazard.”
