However, the mother was keen to clap back at the jealous haters and claimed that if she saw such a deal again, she would do the same thing. 

Posting on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, a private Facebook group with 2.5 million members, Michelle Peacock shared a snap of the back seats of her car, full up with boxes of slashed jumbo packs of nappies.

Alongside the post, the mum penned: “Finally got a bargain! £3.50 a box.

“Asda Peterlee… but they have none left.”

Michelle was lucky enough to nab seven jumbo packs of the Pampers nappies.

She was clearly thrilled with her haul, as she later beamed: “Pure bargain for me.

“Means next week I don't have to go pay the same price I paid for seven boxes for two!” 

Michelle’s post has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 260 likes and 226 comments.

But social media users were totally divided by Michelle’s actions - whilst some claimed that they too would have done the same, not everyone was as on board with clearing the shelves. 

One person said: “Glad you got them all, nothing better than a bargain when you’ve got kids! I’d have done the exact same.” 

Another added: “So glad you took them all! I would do the exact same! All trying to save so if you get there first so be it!” 

A third commented: “I would have done the same! My son goes through nappies like no tomorrow and can only have Pampers.

“We are all struggling so why not. Pretty sure the next person wouldn't have thought about other people.” 

At the same time, another user chimed in: “If you're not fast, you're last - Well done.”

However, not everyone was as kind, as one user wrote: “Why are folk so greedy and clear the shelves leaving nothing for anyone else. 

“It’s not a bargain if it’s greed. It’s selfish.”

Slate me all you like, if I see it again I’ll take the lot again! It helps me out!

A second chimed in: “Nothing left...yeah because you cleared them out…” 

Whilst another user questioned: “Why do people do that? Why can’t you leave some for other people?” 

But Michelle later clapped back at the haters and shared: “Omg people I have two children in nappies! 

“Slate me all you like, if I see it again I’ll take the lot again! It helps me out!”
