Freebies - A supermarket
was cleared out in just four minutes after
it opened up to give away all its stock for FREE - in a 'real-life' version of
Supermarket Sweep.
Hundreds of
bargain hunters couldn't believe their luck when they besieged the Netto supermarket
discount store in Lincoln - after a Facebook post advertising the once-in-a-lifetime
deal went viral.
Customers left
clutching bags of oven chips and other frozen goodies after queues formed
outside the shop at 10.30am today.
The store had
planned to stay open until noon - but punters armed with trolleys took just
four minutes to ransack the shelves of remaining food.
For some it
brought back memories of the popular Nineties TV game show Supermarket Sweep
hosted by Dale Winton.
One happy
shopper, Darren Bonnington, 42, said: "There
wasn't much left by the time I got in, but I did manage to get some frozen
chips."It was like supermarket sweep, everybody had trolleys”.
A local
homeless shelter, the Nomad Trust, was contacted by Netto earlier in the week
to make sure the remaining stock did not go to waste.
Hmmm!! When will
shoprite and other do theirs? I will be waiting
