The PrettyLittleThing creative director took to Instagram to share her shock over the cheap prices of drinks at the discount shop.
She said to her whopping 6.2 million followers: "I think Tommy’s enjoying our little trip to Home Bargains."
In another clip, her boxer beau said to the camera: "Let me tell you, B&M Bargains, I’ve never seen anything like it."
"These drinks that you get in the gym, they’re here and they’re 89p. Like, hold on, stop what you’re doing and process that for a second," the ex-Islander continued.
Young entrepreneur Molly revealed to her Instagram following that they 'stocked up' on the discounted drink, saying: "Honestly B&M trips are the one."
Unamused followers took to social media to express their confusion over the star's posts, one user wrote: "So weeks after being called out for her classist remarks, Molly-Mae’s first IG story that isn’t just a photograph is a clip of her and Tommy in Home Bargains/B&M being utterly shocked at the low prices."
Whereas others seemed less riled by the trip and poked fun at the Insta stories, with one fan tweeting: "Molly-Mae discovering B&M is open is just my favourite thing."
The Love Island couple is yet to comment on the negative remarks.
