A SHOPPER has been slammed for her “disgusting behaviour” after using a new bottle of fabric conditioner to top up a “half full” one before buying it.
Alisia was shopping for the laundry essential in her local B&M when she found a £3 bottle she wanted.

But upon shaking it, she realised it was actually less than half full.
So, in order to get her money’s worth, she decided to use a different bottle to fill hers to the brim.
“It says large pack, half full,” she said, holding up the bottle in question in a video on her TikTok page.
“You’ve never f**king seen it mate.

“I am not about to pay three quid and have a half full tub.”
After using another bottle to add a substantial amount to hers, Alisia said: “Now I’ll pay three quid for that!”
“Are you f**king mad?” she concluded.
“I cannot be the only one,” Alisia captioned her video.
However, the majority of people in the comments were quick to insist she was actually the only one.
“Who steals from B&M?” one wrote.
“Hahahah scruff!”
Clearly unperturbed by the remark, Alisia replied: “Work smarter, not harder.”
“That’s stealing,” another exclaimed.
“So theft then, basically,” a third said.
“The amount in the bottle is what you are paying for – not the size of the bottle.
“So you have just stolen the rest!”
How to save money at B&M
Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M’s scanner app.
The scanner lets you see if an item’s price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label.
Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift.
The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
According to one ex-B&M manager, you’ll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.
Here’s how you can join the B&M bargain hunt:
- Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play.
- Once you’ve installed it on your device, click on the option labelled “more” on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page.
- You’ll then find an option that says “barcode scanner”. Click on this and you’ll open a camera screen.
- Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check.
- If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price.
- You don’t need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner.
“Yolo,” Alisia hit back.
“Probably half full because someone’s already done what you just did,” someone else pointed out.
“Disgusting behaviour,” another raged.
“Imagine this was your life…..wow,” someone else commented.
And when another warned that she could well be caught on the security camera committing the act, Alisia replied: “No risk, no fun!”
“I’d be scared of getting kicked out,” someone else admitted.
But there were also comments from people on Alisia’s side, with many admitting they do the same thing.
So theft then, basically?

“I don’t blame you looool,” one wrote.
“They’re robbing us, we’re not robbing them!”
“Why have I never thought about doing this?” another asked.
“I do this! Thought I was the only one,” a third admitted.
“I fill washing pod boxes up to top before I buy them too,” someone else said.
“I do it! Got to get your money’s worth,” another justified.
“Nahhhh I thought I was only one,” someone else said.
“I ain’t paying £3 for a quarter!”
“OMG genius,” another praised.
