A MUM has caused some controversy in a Facebook group after bagging herself some bargains.
Posting in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, the mum says that she found some grey ceramic elephants, and pretty much cleared the shelves purchasing 15 of them, all for just 10p each.
She writes: “I love a little bargain, lovely for the kids and friends to decorate.”
And while she may have expected the other group members to be excited at the deal, she found herself being criticised by others.
One wrote: “Taking the whole lot is a bit selfish [laughing emoji] let’s be honest you don’t need 15 of them, she wouldn’t of got the whole lot if it was the original price so it has nothing to do with the fact of having a place for them etc.
“If I saw someone clear out a whole ration of statue elephants I’d be a bit concerned and hide.”

Another added that it was pointless sharing the bargain find if she’d just taken the lot – to which the mum replied that she hadn’t taken all of them.
However there were some in the group who defended the purchase, with one commenting: “I’d not buy 15 as nothing to do with them I’d be wasting them. But we don’t know there could be a kid’s party or anything which would be a good idea.
“Tbh I’d never think about painting them either so would collect dust for me, but fair play if she’s got plans for them.”
A second supporter added: “A bargain is only a bargain if the buyer loves it. I would have been ecstatic! Good on you.”

“Corr people love a whinge don't they? I hope the kids have a blast decorating the elephants! Bargain!” wrote a third.
While others simply question why they’d never stumbled on a bargain as good as this.
