Not only this, but she found a pack of three retractable tape measures, which she didn't realise were so expensive.
Posting on social media, Becky held up her huge box, as she asked her followers: “Was it worth it or did I get scammed??”
The savvy shopper then added: “I bought an Amazon returns mystery box from eBay and this just rocked up at my door.
“It cost me a grand total of £29.80, including delivery, so let’s whack it open and find out if it’s a scam.”
Becky opened up the box and held up each item, as she explained: “First up I see a bag of Haribos.
“This is a list of everything inside and what they’re worth.
“First up we’ve got this Friends coffee advent calendar. The retail price for this is £15.59.
