Posting on the B&M Bargains, Extreme Money Saving Deals and More Facebook group, the woman said: “Wow! That’s awesome what an absolute bargain.”
“We never get bargains like this,” said another shopper.
The blush-coloured ottoman’s 94% price cut is also displayed on B&M’s website.
The retailer describes the item as having a beautiful velvet-look finish.
The item is also available in grey.
But, the discounted ottoman is only available in-store and shoppers will need to be quick while stocks last.
You can find your closest B&M using the store locator tool on its website.
Other shoppers have quickly pointed out that the item isn’t available in all stores – so you might not find it at your local branch.

B&M often introduces big discounts on old stock to make way for new items at the start of the season.
One shopper posted on Facebook and said: “This one is old stock and the new stock doesn’t have clear buttons.”
“It’s £19.99 for the pink and grey ottoman at our B&M store,” said another shopper.
You should always have a quick shop around first as you might be able to find a similar product cheaper elsewhere.
Use price comparison tools like Google Shopping to find similar products from other retailers and compare prices.
B&M’s suede ottoman is the cheapest we’ve seen available right now – but the retailer also stocks a number of different variations that cost a bit more.
Customers can get a regular storage ottoman in mink for £12 – reduced from £19.99 in-store.
The retailer has also slashed the price of the silver storage ottoman from £19.99 to just £10.
Those wanting to shop online can get a foldable faux linen ottoman in black, grey, and cream from Duenlm for £20.
Dunelm has also reduced the price of its snowball faux fur and faux cow hide ottomans by 30% from £32 to £22.40.
But if you are ordering online keep in mind that you may have to fork out a delivery charge.
Dunelm charges £3.95 for standard delivery if orders are less than £49.
Customers can also buy express delivery for £5.95.
But it’s important to always remember that these bargains are only a good deal if you need the item in the first place – if you get it just because of the offer, you aren’t necessarily saving money.
B&M shoppers have also been rushing to buy a hot tub for £470 less than the original price.
The discount store is selling the popular Lay-Z-Spa for just £30 and people can’t believe their eyes.
How else can I save money at B&M?
The B&M barcode scanner app allows you to discover discounted items before the staff have even reduced them.
The scanner is located on the B&M Stores mobile app, which can be downloaded for free on your smartphone.
Shoppers can download it on the App Store or Google Play.
Once you’ve got the app, click on the “scan” button at the bottom of your homepage.
This will then bring up the camera on your smartphone, which you’ll need to use to scan barcodes.
When you’ve found a product you want to scan, simply point your smartphone camera toward its barcode.
The app will then automatically bring up the item’s price – this is when you’ll know if it is reduced or not.
Bargain hunters say some items come up as £1, 50p or even 10p through the app.
Shoppers should also keep an eye out for products with a white reduction sticker on.
This means they will have a certain amount slashed off the price shown on the label.
Shop for products at the end of the season.
Get friendly with staff too.
They’ll be able to tell you when the sales will hit, or if there are bargains out the back – so you get the best bits.
