I wiped the shelves of yellow-sticker 99p chickens in Sainsbury’s – trolls slam me but I don’t care, I’m saving money
IF you’ve ever nabbed yourself a total bargain, chances are the first thing you’ve done is excitedly told someone all about it.
And one shopper named Pam is no different after she rushed online to show off the hugely discounted food haul she nabbed from Sainsbury’s.
However, trolls have since slammed the eagle-eyed shopper for wiping the shelves of the yellow-sticker goods – and even accused her of depriving families who may be struggling.
Taking to money-saving Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, Pam shared a photo of the four small whole chickens she snapped up which had been reduced from £3.95 to just 99p.
Alongside the image, she penned: “99p chickens, don’t mind if I do. Happy to put small top oven oven to cook 4.
“Cooked, resting and will freeze. When I want to use one I will defrost and steam on top of potatoes and veg.
“Job done!”
It wasn’t long before the post garnered a whopping 2.2k likes and over 345 comments from social media users – with very mixed reviews.

“If you would’ve only taken 1, then 3 other families who are struggling could of had a decent meal in their bellies,” argued one
“I don’t see why people on this site have to give it the big when they clear shelves on deals.
“I thought this site was for people to tell people where the deals were through times of hardship.”
Pam hit back: “Actually Kevin there were plenty so don’t lose sleep over it!”
A second commented: “Could have left some for others.”
Many rushed to the comments section to defend Pam, with one person noting: “Snooze you lose! I would of took them all!
“I’ve got a family to feed too!”
Another noted: “How do you know she did? Bore off!”
A third penned: “This lady probably has a family to feed and I would have done the same…
And one more added: “If it makes you feel any better i went shopping today and found 12 packs of bakery cookies (giant ones) for 10pm (packs of 5).
“I took the lot!! Haha & I don’t even care – and yesterday I went to the Co-op and got 6 packs of chocolate brownies for 3/4 off and again, I don’t care.
“Got kids to feed and pack ups/snacks….people have got to be quick or lose out, its that simple.”This lady probably has a family to feed and I would have done the same…!”
