Mum-of-16 shamed for buying ‘too much’ toilet paper amid coronavirus stockpilers – but it was just her weekly shop
A MUM-OF-16 has hit back at supermarket shoppers who thought she was stockpiling on toilet paper when she was actually just going about her weekly shop.
Earlier this month, Jeni Bonnell, 49, from Queensland, Australia, recalled how she bought 24 rolls of toilet paper as she does every week as part of her enormous £232 shop.
But as she was going to pay for her shop, Jeni - who has 16 children aged between 29 and four - heard a woman behind her making a snide comment after mistaking her for a coronavirus stockpiler.
Writing on her Bonell Family , Jeni raged: "OH NO YOU DON'T!!!
"No lady, you don't get to stand behind me in the checkout line in the grocery store, with your voice dripping sarcasm and your crinkled brow, as you 'loud-enough-for-me-to-hear-you' say 'Wellllll there goes ALLL the toilet paper now.... hmmmmmmpfffff.'
Insisting that she shouldn't be made to feel guilty for buying enough for her big family, the mum added: "I will not apologise for buying toilet paper for my family which is undoubtedly bigger than yours.
Kicking off the 13 minute video, the 49-year-old mum explained: "I don't shop just for food that week. I actually stockpile."
To avoid spending a fortune every week, Jeni buys meat and fresh fruit and vegetables in bulk - but then stocks up on products when they're half price.
She added: "So I tend to buy up whatever we need to make meals for that week to add to our supplies or I will buy up on that product and we will stock pile it."
