I thought I had bagged a bargain at TK Maxx with my 70p shoes… now I’m mortified after realising I made a grave error
A MONEY-SAVING fashionista has shared her bargain find from TK Maxx – but people reckon she’s made a huge error.
Martine Nicholson, from Glasgow, took to Facebook to show off her steal – a pair of heeled sandals she had picked up from the high-street retailer for less than a pound.

Beyond pleased with the find, the mum-of-two shared a snap of the new shoes on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Group.
”Nice little bargain today in tk maxx £0.70,” the trendy fashionista wrote in the caption next to the two images.
The footwear in question was a pair of black heeled sandals with a gold buckle detailing on the side that had initially been going for a whopping £105.
At first, TK Maxx had put a sticker that said £70, but over time the price dropped from £1.70 to just 70p.
Of course, Martine is not one to sleep on a good deal so she immediately bagged it.
But whilst she may have loved the find, which she stumbled upon in the clearance section, people on social media insisted the mum had wasted her money.
Seeing the state of the shoes, particularly the sole underneath, some reckoned they had been worn for quite some time.
One person wrote: ”Someone took off their shoes at TK max n left with a new pair surely.”
Another agreed, adding: ”They’re defo worn and returned. That scuffing is more than shop wear.”
”They look like someones [sic] old shoes and they have put a sticker on it sorry to say but they look really worn,” a third commented.

Fortunately, it wasn’t all negative, as numerous of fellow group members flocked to comments to show support.
One kind person hit back at all the meanies: ”70p for a pair of shoes?! good for you! I dont get these comments… its a bargain page.
”Yes they look worn but they are still wearable… and not much you can get for 70p nowadays!”
On the lookout for some bargain buys? Best get headed to Depop, as funs have discovered her account where she flogs all of her old designer gear for low prices.
The pleasant news was shared on TikTok by Kyle Tiller (@kyletillerr), from the UK, and fellow fans quickly praised the reality TV star.
”I just found Molly Mae’s Depop and the price she sells things for has my head spinning,” Kylie said in his video.
Some of the designer gear, he revealed in the now-viral clip, was a pair of Louis Vuitton trainers in size UK 4.
Unlike a brand new pair which retails for over a £1,000, the 23-year-old mum was selling it for a mere £180.
Those into high-end footwear could also bag a pair of Gucci leather sandals perfect for sunny beach days.
Whereas some would resell their old sandals for close to £800, Molly-Mae sold hers for just £40, making it a steal.
The former Love Island star, who recently gave birth to an adorable baby daughter, also had listed on-trend Nike Jordans that typically go for more than £430.
This item, though now already sold amongst 110 others bits, was given away at £60, saving the lucky fashionista £370.
Molly-Mae, whose Depop account has over 240k followers and more than 20 five-star reviews, claimed that all profits are donated to charity.
And of course, fans are going crazy, with some saying that this is exactly how Depop should be used.
”I know she’s rich rich and money isn’t an issue but it’s still crazy to me,” Kylie wrote in the caption.
Since being uploaded on the popular video-sharing platform, the clip has gone viral, racking up over 1.3million views and hundreds of comments.
”Tbh it’s nice of her, she’s most likely gifted the items so is allowing people less fortunate to afford things,” one fan of the star said.
”What a queen,” someone else added.
”robin hood, mother teresa, molly mae,” a third chuckled.
”she seems so sweet for doing this,” another exclaimed.
