Shoppers were left divided over the state of plants being sold in a supermarket at a clearance price of just 1p.
A photo shared in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook showed shelves of plants in a sorry-looking state that had been reduced from £6.50 in B&M. The picture of the dry and withered plants sparked a debate in the comments section, with some slamming supermarkets while others came to their defence and encouraged shoppers to buy the plants.
Denise Mitsides, who spotted the 1p plants in a B&M branch in Cramlington , said that she has seen other supermarkets be guilty of similar offences when it comes to plants and criticised their “wasteful” nature. “As well as being a waste of plants, it’s the disposal of the plant pots going to landfill,” she pointed out.
