Dunelm shoppers flock to buy ‘brilliant’ homeware essential scanning at tills for £34 instead of £135
DUNELM has slashed the price of a homeware must-have from £135 to just £34.
The home and furniture retailer is currently holding a huge curtain sale and shoppers are itching to pick up bargains
An eagle-eyed bargain hunter spotted the essentials in their local store and shared their good fortune on social media.
One shopper shared a photo of the buy on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group.
They said: “To whoever posted about the Dunelm curtain sale – thank you!
“Nearly didn’t bother going in as I never find any of the bargains, but was passing so thought it was worth a look and I got these for £33.75 reduced from £135, so 75% off!! Really good quality, love them.”
The post was met with comments from fellow deal fanatics keen to pick up their own curtains.
One said: “We need to go asap!”
Another wrote: “I got the same pair today. Brilliant bargain. 90 x 90cm.
“Was 175 quid, paid £45.”
A third commented: “We need a trip. Love these.”
While there is also a sale available online, the deals of up to 75% appear to only be in-store at the moment.
According to a worker: “The sale finishes on Sunday. Things that aren’t 50% or more will go back to full price, but [those] 50% and more will stay the same.”
So shoppers have a couple more days to head to their nearest dunelm to bag a bargain.

We had a look online to see if we could find any similar curtains for the same price.
The best match we could find was at Morris & Co on John Lewis – but the pair are retailing for a whopping £120 to £240 depending on what size you want.
OTHER DUNELM BARGAINS
Bargain hunters have been thrilled to find a fold-up, step stool and are saying it’s a must-have for every kitchen.
The stylish stool has delighted shoppers providing an easy solution to reaching high cupboards and hard-to-reach spots around the home.
A savvy shopper shared the bargain find, which has had its price slashed from £35, on Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK.
Many other bargain hunters were quick to say they “needed” the “cute” household item for their homes.
One said “this is what I need”, while another added, “this is cute for your kitchen”.
Shoppers have been going wild for the “lovely and elegant” Sherpa Accent Chair.
They said: “Worth a look in your local Dunelm – this chair was £129 down to £12.90! 90% off.”
The post was met with comments from fellow deal fanatics keen to track down the chair.
Shoppers were also quick to head to Dunelm to get their hands on an iconic piece of Bluey furniture amid warnings there were “only a few left”.
How to compare prices to get 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 the 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.
