The mum-of-six said she found scores of items reduced to as little as 10c at 6pm in the Mooroopna store in country Victoria, 118 kilometres north of Melbourne.
Her haul included two-litre cartons of milk reduced to 20c, frankfurter sausages discounted to 17c, sliced ham down to 32c and deli-style salami for 21c, along with microwavable bags of carrots and vanilla yoghurt slashed to 10c.

Amazing - well done,' one woman said.
