Mum trolled after buying 37 reduced rolls of foil and filling the footwell of her car as people slam her as ‘ridiculous’
A WOMAN posted her epic bargain haul on social media but has since been trolled for being “greedy” and “ridiculous.”
Facebook user Lisa Taylor recently took to the social media group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, to share her bargain tin foil haul.
She posted a picture of her cut-price foil to the private group, which has a whopping 2.1million members.
Lisa spotted the reduced turkey toil in Sainsbury’s and was so impressed with the cut-price item that she picked up 37 rolls.
Lisa explained: “Sainsbury have reduced the Christmas turkey foil down to 3p a roll.”
She shared an image of her epic haul – two huge display boxes full of turkey foil.
However, many Facebook users thought that it was unnecessary for Lisa to buy so many.
Her post was uploaded just 15 hours ago, but it has already racked up a whopping 2.2k likes and 1,000 comments.
Many thought that it was unfair that Lisa had bought so many.
One person said: “Nice of you to save some for others :-))”
Another added: “And this, this is exactly what’s wrong with our country. Enjoy ya foil. being g r e e d y.”
A third commented: “So you picked up 37 rolls. What are you going to do? Wallpaper the Lounge with it?”
Meanwhile, someone else noted: “Ridiculous.”
Another Facebook user posted: “Seems to be a shift in IDGAF attitude to taking just what your family needs as opposed to clearing the shelf then bragging about your haul.
“This page used to be good for alerting about good deals and offers. Now it seems to be a pat on the back for getting it all.
“See it on the b&m site too. People aren’t jealous of you getting 3p foil. It’s the sheer amount, and a lot more people could also benefit from the bargain in that area (community thinking)”
Meanwhile, Lisa’s sister Kellie responded to the trolls and set the record straight.
She explained: “This page is for sharing amazing deals and bargains.
“She has a family of seven and a nan of two who works full time with children who have learning difficulties as well as helps homeless charities and runs a FB free page to help people recycle unwanted items within the local community.
“She is my sister and yes will pass some of those rolls onto her daughter and fairy as that’s the kind of person she is.”
