‘My daughter is crying now’ shopper slams man who clears shelves of choccy treat in Farmfoods to make £200 profit
A MAN has left people fuming after he cleared the shelves of cheap buys in Farmfoods to sell them on for profit.
The young man named Sam is an Amazon FBA (Fulfilment by Amazon) seller and often hunts for discounted buys to then ship to Amazon in exchange for cash.
We recently saw Sam leave shoppers fuming after he cleared the shelves in Tesco of reduced to clear pans.
But Sam has yet again left people annoyed, after his recent shopping trip to Farmfoods.
Posting on social media, Sam nabbed a huge pallet of a popular chocolate treat, which he then sold on, estimating to make around £200 profit.
As he showed off the huge pallet, stacked high of boxes of Flake bars, which Sam described as his ‘pallet of profit’, he said: “Lovely palette secured from Farmfoods today.”

We then saw Sam’s car, packed full with the sweet treat boxes, as he added: “Gotta load all of it into the car - filled to the brim full of profit, it just about fit.”
He then prepared to send the boxes to Amazon, as he continued: “Gonna unload all of that, get it all prepped. We're gonna have to print a few labels for these and prep these units.
“Right, let's get it on a palette, let's wrap it up and give it to the delivery man who's gonna take that to Amazon for me.
“The ROI [return on investment] is a bit low on these - it’s 26% but it does sell very fast.
“All of these will be gone in about a week.
“This was quite a lot of work to be honest, I had to go get all the units, build a pallet, ship it off, etcetera.”
Discussing his expected profits, he concluded: “Couple hundred pound profit. It is worth it, only took a few hours to be fair.
“It was £40 to send the lot which worked out to about 20p per unit.
“Shipping in pallets is actually quite cost efficient. I can put 500 units on a pallet. The cost is gonna be very minimal per unit cost.
“Shout out Farmfoods - they just sent me an email, [I] saw it, called them up, ordered a whole pallet’s worth, went and got it.
“Lovely profit. Stop thinking and start doing.”

But social media users weren’t happy with Sam’s video - as many claimed that his actions would cause further price hikes.
One person said: “Thanks for increasing the prices even further…”
Another added: “And this is why everything is expensive all the time because when something is cheap someone tries to make a quick buck.”
A third commented: “My daughter is crying now because she couldn't get any flakes from Farmfoods.”
