Many people spend hours tending to their gardens every week to create a beautiful serene space. You might have an enviable green lawn surrounded by colourful flowerbeds, but what can really elevate your outdoor haven is some furniture or shaded areas to sit in to enjoy what you've created.

However, garden furniture and accessories can be notoriously expensive, which is why some people end up DIYing their own creations. But sometimes you can snap up some real bargains - you just have to be on the lookout.

That's why B&M shoppers have been rushing to snap up a garden bargain buy which will really take their outdoor spaces to new levels - and it's a whopping 58% off. The Tiki parasol, which was £26 and is now being sold for just £15, will make you feel like you're sunning it up in Spain, when you're actually still in your back garden.

It was a savvy shopper from the money-saving Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK who spotted the deal. The parasol features a Tiki fringe canopy on a powder coated steel frame, and will not only make you feel like you're at a beach bar, but can also be folded away for easy storage.

However, despite many fellow shoppers being extremely excited to pick up the bargain - others couldn't help being baffled when they first saw the post - thinking it was something completely different.

One person joked: "Thought it was spaghetti," and another added: "Glad I wasn't the only one," while a third said: "Maybe I should go to Specsavers….."

And they weren't the only ones. A fourth commented: "I also thought it was spaghetti" while another said: "I was shocked why this spaghetti is so expensive".

We all love a bargain, and if you're a fan of B&M there are plenty to be had. According to a former worker, staff routinely slash prices on specific days to make room for new stock - sometimes cutting costs as low as 10p.

Roxanne Noble, who worked her way up to deputy manager during her almost 10 years working for the bargain store, said Wednesday is the day to go.
