The offer was so popular most stores quickly went out of stock[/caption]
Dunelm fans were quick to comment on the offer, posted on hotdealsuk.
One user wrote: “Woohoo! A Dunelm deal locally in stock for me.”
Another added: “Good deal but nearest store that has them from me is 16 mile away. Would cost me that in petrol to collect them.”
The soft cotton set is designed with button to keep your bedding secure to keep you warm during these chilly winter nights.
With a striped print on one side and a gingham pattern on the other, there are multiple ways this bedding bargain can by styled.
For £3.50 shoppers were able to go home with a duvet and two matching pillowcases.
That works out as less than £1.17 per item.
The deal sparked such interest the bedding quickly went out of stock in many Dunelm stores, much to the dismay of multiple keen customers.
Unfortunately the deal expired four days ago and is no longer available.
For those gutted that they missed out on the cheapest bedding about, there are still chances to bag a bargain at the popular homeware store.
There are a few things sneaky shoppers can do to get discounts all year round.
If you check out the shop’s “Returns Outlet” page on the website there are often a range of discounts and deals.
All these products have been bought by customers but then returned to the retailer, but are always in good nick.
The only thing missing from these items are the box.
Another way to hunt down a deal at Dunelm is by visiting one of their outlet stores.
Shoppers can grab discounts worth up 70% at some of the outlet stores, with the items still in perfect condition.
Dunelm describes them as: “Practically perfect pieces at irresistible prices.”

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.
