‘Run to Dunelm’ scream shoppers rushing to get their hands on Bluey furniture but ‘there’s only a few left’
SHOPPERS are heading to Dunelm to get their hands on an iconic piece of Bluey furniture but there are “only a few left”.
The soft furnishings and homeware retailer is selling a rug that is very similar to the one used in the titular dog’s bedroom on the hit kids cartoon.
A watermelon rug as seen in Bluey’s bedroom can be bought from Dunelm for only £25.
Bluey fans are also able to buy a kiwifruit rug from online retailer Etsy that is currently reduced by 60 per cent to £39.56 until May 30.
One fan posted the rugs to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group and said they were “super super cool”.
They said: “Run to Dunelm for all you Bluey lovers watermelon rug for £25 it is for outfoor, but we have it in the play room found elsewhere similar for twice the price.
“Only a few left in store also found a kiwi rug on Etsy for £39.56, bit more pricey. But super super cool.”
Fans of the show commented on the post and said the rugs were fantastic.
One said: “omg neeed.”
Another posted: “well I love that.”
While a third wrote: “WANT!! I was just looking for these!! Looks like they have a watermelon one too. So cool!! Definitely wanna get the kiwi!”
Bluey, which first aired in 2018, has reached such cult status worldwide that it has been dubbed more epic than Oscar-winning movie Oppenheimer.
Shown in 60 countries across the world, it was the most-streamed series in January and February and the second most viewed programme in the US last year.
Part of Bluey’s popularity is down to it focusing on the everyday — and often mundane — occurrences in family life, which Joe tackles with wit and humour.
Meanwhile, shoppers are rushing to fill their baskets with soft furnishings massively discounted from £185 to just £17 at Dunelm.
A savvy shopper spotted the seemingly huge saving at the homeware store’s Aberdeen branch.
They shared their bargain find with the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, writing: “Massive curtain discounts at Dunelm Aberdeen store.”
She also attached a picture of her find which showed one set of curtains had been reduced from £180 to just £17, while another set now had a price tag of just £12 after the original price had been £130.
