Many reading the post praised the savvy shoppers bargain hunting skills but not all the commentators saw her haul as a win.
Others branded her 'selfish'.
One person replied: "But what you need it all for? If everyone got 1 or 2, then the ones that missed out would have also been able to get some! Great bargains! well some! Just feel it's a bit selfish!"
Another wrote: "Silly woman why buy all that leave some for others pure greed."
And others questioned: "Did you buy it as cheap or buy as you need it? Some seem to buy everything cheap on the shelves leaving none for others on a budget."
Another shopper said: "That’s why most people can never find anything."
