Taking to social media, she posted a photo of the giant Scoville-branded box, which was advertised as having five saucepans and frying pans.
The box had two red stickers on it, with one even saying something was “missing”.
“My daughter is off to university September been saving coins in pot to get her saucepan set & frying pan,” she told people in the caption.
“See a set in Asda teflon for £30 half price sold out, saw these 1 lid missing reduced.
“So with my voucher from my coins & £10 voucher from app cost me nothing & should lol last her years”.
The set was originally sold for £60 and can be found for this price in other retail stores, but thanks to the missing lid it was just £30 in Asda.
With the £20 she saved up and the voucher she got from her Asda app, she managed to get the entire thing for free.
People were impressed with her savvy shopping skills and shared their thoughts in the comments section.
One person wrote: “Great bargain xxx,” as a second chimed: “Result!!!” followed by a red heart emoji.
“Bargain!! That set is really good too. I got my daughter those when she started Uni last year,” a third shared.
A fourth said: “Best pans I have ever bought. Brilliant bargain”.
Another person helpfully suggested: “You can email them and they would probably send you a lid”.
While another said: “Also save the receipt as if anything goes wrong they will replace.”
And another shared: “Charity shops are also,in my opinion, very good place to get kitchen equipment”.
