Proud mum shows off the JD Sports bargain she nabbed in its mega sale but totally divides opinion
WE ALL love showing off a bargain.
But one mum’s new purchase has caused a stir online.
The mum posted her find to the Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK.
She bought her child a new pair of trainers in the JD Sports mega sale – where the Fila wonders were reduced from £40 to £10.
The chunky white trainers were embezzled with the classic Fila logo in a glitzy sparkling gold design.
The mum wrote: “Don’t walk run to JD.

“Got these for £10 was meant to be £40, totally made up they are so cute.”
The post was inundated with over 600 comments, but it seems not everyone agreed with her.
The chunky style of trainer may be in trend at the moment – but plenty of people commented to say the style would be difficult for a baby to walk in.
One wrote: “Gosh they look clumpy as hell how are they supposed to walk in them lol.”

Another person commented: “Far too heavy for a baby, should be comfort not looks.”
A third penned: “Poor child probably can’t walk in them there so heavy I wouldn’t run to JD I would avoid purchasing these for a baby.”
Meanwhile, a fourth added: “I don’t understand why they sell these for babies and kids, I mean they are cute but can’t be good for their walking.”
The mum responded in a comment, writing: “if you don’t like them that’s okay a personally don’t like the adult ones call them Dino stompers but a thought these were super cute and for a tenner if they get ruined then it’s okay.”

Others took to the comments to defend the mums purchase, one person wrote: “The lady posted a bargain not a post to have people saying about what a baby should be wearing and not wearing!!! It’s a bargain page not a page for people to be judgemental!”
Another person added: “My god if you don’t like them just scroll on by why the need to try and educate or be nasty!!! She’s her mum and that’s that.”
