A Friends-themed accessories range for our four-legged friends looks to have landed on the shelves at B&M.
Appearing to form part of a larger collection – that also includes merchandise for humans too, including homewares, beauty items, and more – the pet range is inspired by the hugely-popular US television show Friends.
Following the lives of a group of six living in New York City, Friends ran for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004, and arguably has one of the most loyal fanbases of any series in recent history thanks to its lovable characters, endless laughs, and memorable moments – so it’s pretty easy to see why so many people are keen to get their hands on the new range.
The pet range inspired by the cult-classic sitcom was spotted on the shelves at B&M and shared with over 1.8 million money-savvy members of the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook yesterday afternoon.
It was later shared on the group’s public Facebook page too, and went onto amass over 2.5K comments and counting.

Judging from the picture shared with shoppers, some of the items in the range include themed dog neckerchiefs, an iconic Christmas turkey dog toy and a toy in the shape of a Central Perk mug, and themed ceramic dog water and food bowls.
More items not pictured are also expected to be part of the wider Friends-themed range, both for pets and people.

If you are looking to kit your furry friends out, unfortunately, the range doesn’t appear to be currently available on the B&M website, and the shopper who shared the original photo of the items did not say which branch she spotted the range in, so you’ll probably need to head down to your local store and keep your fingers crossed.
Prices of the items are also currently unknown, but given it’s a B&M range, they’re not likely to break the bank.
One keen shopper summed up the hype with the comment: “Thanks B&M. Again, I don’t need any of this stuff, but now want it all.”

Home Bargains has announced a special two-day closure of all UK stores

Home Bargains has, once again, announced it’ll be closing all its UK stores on both Boxing Day and New Year’s Day this year.
And it’s to make sure staff get a ‘well deserved break’.
After what has been yet another busy year for the retail industry, many workers have been left feeling like they could do with a little extra time off, which is why Home Bargains is following on with what has become a now-annual tradition by shutting up shop on two bank holidays.
All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day & New Years Day.
Announcing the move in a post on social media, the discount retailer confirmed: “All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day and New Years Day. We would like to thank all our colleagues for how hard you have worked this past year, and want you to relax and enjoy the Christmas break with your loved ones.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time the retailer has kept its doors shut on bank holidays.
Many shoppers will recall it has made the same decision to give hardworking staff a break every year since 2019.
Explaining a little more about the decision taken to close all its stores, Home Bargains said: “As a family-run business, we know the importance of being together at Christmas with those we care about most, now more than ever.
“This is our way of saying thank you to our colleagues for their continued hard work and dedication.”

Two Greggs in Manchester will be serving their breakfast menu in the evening next week

Who says breakfast has to end at 11am?
In news that’s set to be music to the ears of breakfast lovers in Manchester, Greggs is giving them exactly what they want.
We all know that brunch is a ‘thing’ by now, so now it’s time for brinner to make a name for itself instead, as Greggs has teamed up with Heinz to bring its much-loved breakfast menu back for tea time, kicking off from 4pm onwards.
The move comes as a new survey has found that the majority of Mancs (69%) admit to enjoying eating breakfast food in the evening, saying it’s ‘convenient and comforting’ – even ranking breakfast as a ‘more important’ meal than tea, as well (38% vs 36%).

Greggs says it has ‘lost count’ of the amount of customers that have tried to order breakfast items after the usual cut-off time, especially in Greater Manchester.
But luckily for those breakfast-loving Mancs, they can finally get their favourite breakfast and sauce pairing long after the morning rush is over next… but only at two Greggs branches, and only for a very limited time.
On Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 October, the Heinz x Greggs Brinner collab will be available at Greggs St Mary’s Gate and Greggs Oxford Road, from 4-7pm only.
“We’ve lost count of the number of customers who have tried their luck ordering breakfast after 11am, so when Heinz came to us with the idea of making Brinner a reality, it felt like the perfect excuse to give the people what they want,” explained Zoe Harris, who is the Customer Director at Greggs.
“And let’s be honest, a Greggs Bacon Roll just wouldn’t be the same without a squeeze of Heinz Tomato Ketchup.”
