B&M Shopper Snags 60 Packs of Discounted Bacon – Was it Too Much?
A SHOPPER has been told to ‘think of others’ after she swiped a huge haul of bacon from B&M. The bargain hunter was left open-mouthed when browsing her local B&M, when she noticed that packs of bacon had been slashed.
The Divisive Bacon Haul
Jean Gumble confirmed that she found the packs of bacon for just 20p and 30p. She explained that she stocked up for herself, her friends, and her family. But whilst some Facebook users were impressed with her haul, others weren’t so positive.
The Bacon Bonanza: Jean’s Experience
Thrilled with her finds, Jean Gumble nabbed a huge haul of the reduced meat – not just for her, but for her friends and family too. Overjoyed with her finds, Jean took to social media to alert others, leaving many open-mouthed. Posting on Yellow sticker shopping tips, tricks and hauls, a private Facebook group with 174,300 members, Jean shared snaps of her finds. Alongside the post, the savvy shopper penned: “My yellow bargains today! Lots of my friends and family will benefit as well which is good.” Jean confirmed that she nabbed 60 packs of the sizzling unsmoked back bacon.
Lucky for Jean, she was able to get her hands on the reduced to clear pork, which came in two different sized packs. She nabbed some packs which contained eight rashers, and had been slashed from £2 down to 30p, saving £1.70 on each pack. Not only this, but she also stocked up on five rasher packs too, which were reduced from £1.40 down to only 20p, saving £1.20 a pack.
“They had loads left, I left some for others,” said Jean Gumble. Social media users were clearly left stunned at Jean’s finds, as her post quickly amassed 341 likes and 163 comments. One person said: “Think of others. I still think there should be a limit on how much people can buy.” In response, Jean clapped back and confirmed: “That was nothing, they had loads left, I left some for others.”
Public Opinion: The Divide
A third commented: “How dare you take all 60 packs.” And someone else agreed: “I’m all for bargains but even though we are an 11-house family I still leave something for others.” But despite this, many other social media users were thrilled for Jean on her bargain haul. One shopper claimed: “Well done, don’t take any notice of jealous people on here.”
