WITH the cost-of-inflation affecting households up and down the country, food doesn't come cheap.<\/p>\n
That's why when one man spotted an unmissable deal on lamb legs in his local Sainsbury's, he couldn't turn them down…and decided to fill his trolley with NINE of them.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The savvy shopper took to money-saving Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK and posted a snap of his friend's hugely discounted food shop.<\/p>\n
Alongside the image, he penned: "Mate had a good deal at Sainsbury's today.<\/p>\n
"Nine legs of lamb. Retail price of \u00a3252, we paid \u00a336. Seems fair to me!"<\/p>\n
The post has since garnered over 1.5k likes and over 300 comments from social media users – with very <\/em>mixed opinions.<\/p>\n Some social media users were outraged and slammed the shopper for seemingly wiping the shelves clear. <\/p>\n "Shame you didn\u2019t leave a few for others that couldn\u2019t afford much," wrote one. <\/p>\n A second noted: "B*****y ell did you manage to save other people any?!"<\/p>\n A third commented: "Where do you find the need for 9 legs of lamb? Yeah posting it here so people can get a bargain is all well and good but when you clear them out what\u2019s the point? Just a thought."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Another added: "Save some for everyone else won't you."<\/p>\n And a further penned: "No wonder there is none left when iv been to my Sainsburys."<\/p>\n However, others were quick to commend the eagle-eyed shopper on his bargain buys and admitted they would've done the same had they spotted the deal themselves. <\/p>\n One person wrote: "This deal has been going on since November in our Sainsbury\u2019s. I currently have 7 in my freezer from buying one a week! Tesco's are now also doing it. <\/p>\n "My friend bought 2 at 10p last weekend as there were so many left over at end of day knock downs!!"<\/p>\n A second chimed in: "You snooze you loose."<\/p>\n A third pointed out: "Well done if you can afford it and can freeze, you\u2019d be a fool not to!"<\/p>\n And one more commended: "What a great bargain – well done!"<\/p>\n Elsewhere, some were so shocked by the huge discount, they cast doubt over the mega reductions, but one Sainsbury's shopper confirmed: "They're half price with Nectar card – seems to work on reduced prices too."<\/p>\n Another lucky shopper who spotted the yellow-sticker discounts wrote: "2 legs of lamb for the less than the original price of 1!<\/p>\n "They had been reduced as it was today's date plus 1\/2 price using nectar points."<\/p>\nREAD MORE ON FOOD<\/h2>\n
