IF you rarely stumble upon a bargain, chances are you’ll make the most of it when you eventually do.
And that’s the very situation one savvy shopper found herself in when she spotted a box of mint Matchmakers slashed from £1.50 to just 10p in B&M – meaning a whopping £1.40 saving.
But rather than take just one, she decided to swipe the shelves clear and pile her trolley high with a whopping 60 boxes – and it’s caused a very mixed response online.
Clearly delighted with her mega steal, Louise Burns took to money-saving Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK and posted a snap of her huge chocolate haul.
Alongside the image, she penned: “Thanks B&M that should keep my family going for a while.
“Best before 03/24, 60 boxes at 10p a box! Bargain!”
The post quickly racked up an impressive 660 likes and over 137 comments but not everyone was impressed, with some slamming her for being greedy.
“Shame there’s none left for anyone else to enjoy,” raged one.
A second penned: “None left then!”
A third commented: “You’ll be sick of it before you’re two boxes in ha!”
Elsewhere, others took a rather different perspective and commended Louise on her bargain buy, with many admitting they would’ve done the same had they found themselves in her position.
“Great price I would’ve bought that many too,” confessed one social media user.
Another congratulated: “Well done….enjoy!”
A third praised: “OMG that’s an amazing find.”
Meanwhile, a fourth enthused: “Love these…I would’ve cleared the whole shelf for myself and family!”
And another agreed: “Well done, I don’t blame you for getting these I would have done exactly the same, enjoy!”
