A SHOPPER has been slammed by trolls after revealing she had “no shame” clearing Tesco of reduced sweets and chocolate.
Amy explained that she’d spotted a load of yellow sticker bargains in her local supermarket, and took full advantage.

In a post on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook, Amy shared pictures of her haul, and showed the impressive reductions on the receipt.
“Christmas Eve boxes sorted and I had no shame!” Amy wrote alongside the snaps.
The picture of her purchases showed a huge array of packets of sweets, including M&Ms and Rowntree Randoms, crisps and drinks.
There were also some other somewhat unusual choices for a Christmas Eve box, such as a lint roller, broom and jerky strips.
The receipt showed that Amy had nabbed £98.90 worth of stock, but had received discounts of £71.70 – meaning that the entire haul came to just £27.20.
And the comments section was almost immediately divided, between those who disagreed with her bargain hunting, and those who praised her.
Those who weren’t on board also took issue with the fact that Amy was even doing Christmas Eve boxes.
“Why Xmas eve boxes?” one wrote.
“Don’t they get enough for Xmas?”
“I agree with you,” another said.
“They’re getting presents the next day. I think it takes away from the magic of Christmas!”
“Next it will be Xmas eve eve boxes,” a third grumbled.
“Xmas eve boxes what a load of pish, we were lucky to get presents on Xmas day never mind Xmas eve ffs!” someone else raged.
“They’re meant to have things like Christmas PJ’s, a story, hot chocolate etc in them, for a cute little Christmas eve evening…” another said.
“I don’t know what this is.. pick n mixes?”
“Yeah the ones I do for mine are full of stuff to keep them occupied and calm like crafts and colouring,” someone else weighed in.
“It does have hot choc and a gingerbread for the evening too.
“But it’s not diabetes in a box, that seems a crazy amount there!”
“Hope you’ve a good dentist. They’re going to need one,” another sighed.
However, others defended Amy, and insisted she was perfectly within her rights to take advantage of the supermarket bargains.
“Never have any shame for getting yourself a bargain hun,” one insisted.
“Good on you, well done!” another added.
“Well done you, that looks amazing haul, have a great Christmas,” a third commented.
