A TESCO bargain hunter has come under fire for clearing the shelves of £5 designer perfume.
We all love a beauty bargain, especially when it involves high-end designer goods for a fraction of the usual price.

This is exactly why one lucky beauty buff went wild after spotting posh designer perfume going for just a fiver at Tesco.
According to the person, who remained anonymous, the mega supermarket was selling a huge variety of posh scents, such as Guess and Beverly Hills Polo Club for a bargain price.
While the latter typically retails for £18, a 75ml bottle of the designer Guess perfume would set you back £25 – or a whopping five times more.
Although the bargain-mad customer didn’t reveal the total count of the scents they had snapped up, a snap of the trolley showed more than a staggering 30 bottles.
The lucky shopper – who claimed to have ”cleared Tesco” – added that they wouldn’t be stopping there either.
Sharing a snap of their epic haul, the thrifty beauty buff went on in the caption: ”Off to another store to clear the shelves, don’t be too mad.”
However, whilst the bargain hunter may have been all chuffed with their epic haul, the reaction on Facebook wasn’t so positive.
Dozens of fellow members of the BARGAIN LOVERS HOME BARGAINS, B&M, PRIMARK, ALDI, ASDA & MORE page flooded to comments to slam the shopper for being selfish.
One furious social media user said: ”everyone knows ur about to con the hell out of vulnerable people by doubling even tripling the price..and it’s not greed shaming or being rude.
”It’s straight up honesty.”
Someone else added: ”then get a legit job .. conning pensioners and people with very little as is is not helping yourself eat its lining pockets for greed your making it sound like they are starving.
”5 quid a bottle and has at least 20 to 25 bottles u do the math.”
However, not everyone disagreed with the customer clearing the shelves – as some admitted they would’ve done the same.
