"Why have I not seen one person on this app talk about B&M flooring?" Keeley said in a video on her TikTok page.
"I'm not even kidding, this stuff looks like designer flooring and it's costing me less than a Domino's!"
Keeley added that they had been quoted over £2,000 to have vinyl laid in their bathroom.
But when she hit B&M, she couldn't believe when she spotted the flooring on sale - with her biggest struggle being whether she should go for the slate or greystone effect.
"I think I do have a B&M addiction at this point," she laughed.
She was unsure whether or not she could rely on the B&M flooring in the bathroom considering how much water gets onto the floor.
As for the kitchen, Keeley is going for laminate flooring, but questioned why it's "so expensive".
She got what she needed from B&Q, loading it all onto a massive trolley.
But the shopping trip didn't end too well, as they misjudged the size of Keeley's car and had to call in backup to get it all home.
Despite Keeley's concerns about the life capacity of B&M tiles, the comments section was quickly filled with people reassuring her that she's got nothing to worry about.
B&M shoppers are giving their gardens a summer glow up with £12 bargain
"I have B&M flooring in my bedroom and living room and it's such good quality and easy to put down and keep clean," one wrote, adding that they "highly recommend".
"I have b&m floor tiles in my kitchen," another added.
"I've had them down for years now and never had a problem with them!"
"My Grampy owns a b&m," a third said.
"He has the second one you showed and it looks lovely."
"I had the first ones in my kitchen, the sink leaked and flooded but these tiles still stood!" someone else wrote.
How to save money at B&M
Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M's scanner app.
The scanner lets you see if an item's price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label.
Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift.
The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
According to one ex-B&M manager, you'll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.
Here's how you can join the B&M bargain hunt:
Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play.
Once you've installed it on your device, click on the option labelled "more" on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page.
You'll then find an option that says "barcode scanner". Click on this and you'll open a camera screen.
Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check.
If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price.
You don't need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner.
"And taking them up eventually was SO hard! They're solid!"
"I've made a tiktok doing my bathroom in this," another commented.
"I had it in my old house too for 4 years."
"I have this flooring in my bathroom," someone else wrote.
"It's been down for 12 months and 0 issues!"
"It's in my hallway. Laid some years ago and never moved," another added.
"My advice is make sure you stick it to something like old laminate and use more spray glue."
While someone else called it "amazing", another commented: "My mum got these in her bathroom and they're still the same as the day she laid them!!
"Just seal them to make sure no water gets under them."

Millions of Freeview watchers hit by big Channel 4 change and must re-scan TV boxes to keep popular channel
MILLIONS of Freeview watchers have been hit by a big channel change as viewers are urged to re-scan their TV boxes. Channel 4 has boosted Freeview coverage for one of its channels this month, meaning you'll need to retune to continue watching. As part of Freeview's monthly channel update, 4seven transitioned to a new frequency as of Wednesday 18 June. This is because of an important technical change to the way the Channel 4 offshoot channel is broadcast on Freeview. It will give more Freeview users access to the channel at a time when 4seven is increasingly used as an overspill for live events. 4seven has recently become the home of a selected number of men's European Championship U21 games, including Netherlands v Ukraine and Slovenia v Czechia. They have previously broadcast coverage of the Paralympic Opening and Closing Ceremonies. But for the time being, 4seven is broadcasting on both new and old frequencies. At the end of this transition period, the old copy of 4seven will carry a retune caption. But you can retune today to ensure continued reception of 4seven on channel 49. Following your retune, you should see 4seven on channel 49 and the old copy of 4seven on channel 790. What's better is the channel now has universal coverage on Freeview. It's now available to all viewers in the Channel Islands and Isle of Man in addition to UK viewers who can only receive a reduce Freeview channel line-up. If you're a viewer who only receives around 20 basic Freeview channels at your address, you can retune to add 4seven to channel 49. It's a big bonus to some viewers as some remote locations with reduced access to Freeview are also affected by poor internet speeds meaning they can't stream TV either. This follows a reconfiguration of the frequency that carries the main Channel 4 service on Freeview, meaning the 4seven signal can now be aired alongside its parent channel. Kay Burley joins This Morning in TV return after departure from Sky News It's not the only Freeview change seen this month either. Just last week it was announced that Rewind TV is now on channel 81. It has swapped places with Blaze +1 and is now the next-door channel to the vintage Talking Pictures channel. There's also a new shopping channel with Must Have Ideas setting up shop on channel 96. The service was previously exclusive to satellite TV such as Sky and on YouTube but a retune will now add the channel to your service. Millions of Freeview watchers can also enjoy three new channels this month. Starting from this week, viewers will be able to tune into a number of channels including ITV Quiz, a fresh channel dedicated to quizzes.
