A BARGAIN-HUNTING shopper was trolled after nabbing a £1 bag from Primark – which people reckoned was still a rip-off
Fashion fan Lauren Chandler, from Northampton, loves a good deal – so when she spotted a pink purse going for a mere quid at Primark, she didn't think twice.
Pleased with the cheap find, the woman, who regularly shares her best buys on Facebook, headed to the till to hand over her pound.
The fluffy bag, which came in bright pink, had been slashed from £11 to a £1, meaning she had saved a tenner.
Chuffed with the deal and her new trendy accessory, Lauren immediately took to the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Group to show off her purchase.
Uploading a snap of the purse, the Primark fanatic said: ''my bargain today was this £1 bag from primark in northampton reduced from £11.''
