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!"
