WHAT A STEAL

Beauty fan snaps up make-up sets for 49p each in Superdrug – but gets slammed for being ‘selfish & taking all the deals’

A BEAUTY fan received backlash online after sharing her haul of 49p make-up palettes from Superdrug, with people branding her ‘selfish’. 

The shopper stopped off at the Bristol branch, and spotted the sets on sale for less than 50p, so grabbed a stash for her friends and family.

She shared snaps of her incredible find to Facebook group , saying: “Couldn't believe my luck, right place right time! 49p each @Superdrug.”

But rather than praising her bargain-hunting skills, fellow shoppers slammed her for being ‘selfish’, claiming they can never find deals in-store due to people grabbing them all. 

More than 1,000 people reacted to the post, with one woman saying: “Why does everyone encourage wiping the shelves!? I was always taught to share the joys.”

Someone else thought: “Now this is the reason so many others can never find a good deal.”

A third reckoned: “I think the store should limit these daft reductions, I’m all for getting a bargain but leave some for others ! but if greed is your forte, then enjoy ! lol.”

This person commented:“No wonder no one else can get any you’ve bought half the shops stock of them by the looks of things. Proper jel.”

Another added: “No wonder there’s nothing left.”

Some people defended the woman, with this person pointing out: “These comments are ridiculous.

"You aren’t being selfish at all, people are just being nasty because they haven’t managed to find such a bargain. Good on you!” 

But the shopper later clapped back at the haters, calling them ‘negative Nancy’s’ and explaining the palettes were for Christmas presents.

She snapped: “I don't even wana justify myself but for all you negative Nancy's, this is for Christmas and for some of my friends who need a pick me up. 

“Knowing I'm going to put a smile on their face makes my day & if you were me you would of done the same - if you say you won't, you're lying. 

“Getting a bargain makes me feel so good why you trying to ruin it ? If it makes you feel better go for it, sad really.

“Also this is a bargain page so if you don't like it & going to be green eyed, it's probably not a good page for you. Have a lovely day.” 

Other fans on the same page also shared their hauls, with another shopper saying: "Superdrug have a massive sale on all these items were 49p each!

"I got £189 worth of stuff for £9  this revolution set alone is normally £20 each! This is the Basingstoke branch.

"A lot of people are saying it’s a waste of time, yes it is all out of stock online but it was all in the store!"

People aren't happy they've not been able to get their own hands on a bargain
