SHE couldn't resist taking to Facebook to boast about her floral haul.
But when Pam posted on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group about getting £70 worth of flowers for just £6, she was inundated with comments from people all saying the same thing.
"Asda £ 6.00 for £70 00 worth of flowers, a bargain!" she wrote alongside pictures of the masses of flowers.
The images appeared to show around 19 bunches of flowers – which had been reduced following Mother's Day.
"Who the hell needs/wants that amount of half dead flowers?" one angry person wrote in the comments section.
To which Pam replied: "Actually very fresh and am giving them to my girls if that’s ok!"

Others defended Pam, with one writing: "Nobody should have to justify buying so many flowers.
"They are gorgeous, if I could get a few bundles, it would brighten up my home, and I would put some on my MIL and FIL graves."
And even revealed their own bargains and ways they were using them.
"I got £10 bunches for 75p," one wrote.
"in asda today had hundreds of bunches.someone over ordered."
"I bought a £15 bunch for 1.58 yesterday and a £6 for 90p. I bought for mine for family and friends," another added.
"There’s often flowers reduced if you pop over around 10-11pm," a third commented.
"Remove dead leaves snip the bottom pop in the vase with a drop of bleach they will be good as new next day."
As someone else wrote: "I do this if I spot them I need to buy them but especially the gypsophila I dry it out, saves me a fortune because it's £10 for dried gypsophila in Dunelm and I love them!"
