Scots M&S bargain hunter branded ‘selfish’ over £73 Boxing Day haul

A Scots shopper has been branded "selfish" after she saved almost £500 in the Boxing Day sales.

Megan Ayr, from Glasgow, took to a bargain hunting Facebook page to reveal that she had purchased £578.80 worth of products for just £73.40 in a spree at M&S and Superdrug.

Her discount deals from M&S included a £3 chocolate cake knocked down to 87p and a £55 turkey reduced to £11.55, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Meanwhile, at Superdrug her bargains included Disney body sprays reduced from £12 to £2, lip kits reduced from £20 to £2, Carmex reduced from £10 to £2 and Cocoa brown reduced from £7.99 to just 40p.

Megan, a member of the B&M Bargains, Money Saving Deals and Discount Codes group, shared the details of her shop in a post.

She wrote: "Merry Christmas. Here's Megan's list of bargains and her price breakdown."

Megan estimated that she made a total saving of around 87.5% based on the products' recommended retail prices.

While many people praised Megan's bargain hunting skills, others branded her as selfish.

Lucy Richards commented: "But what you need it all for?

"If everyone got one or two, 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."

Susan Lee said: "Leave some for others. Pure greed."

Lorraine Davenport asked: "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."

Meanwhile others quickly defended Megan and praised her for finding the bargain hotspots.

Superdrug and M&S have sales both in store and online.
