MAKES SCENTS I cleared Tesco's shelves of £5 designer perfume – trolls call me selfish, but they're just jealous of the profit I'm going to make
A TESCO bargain hunter has come under fire for clearing the shelves of £5 designer perfume.
We all love a beauty bargain, especially when it involves high-end designer goods for a fraction of the usual price.

This is exactly why one lucky beauty buff went wild after spotting posh designer perfume going for just a fiver at Tesco.
According to the person, who remained anonymous, the mega supermarket was selling a huge variety of posh scents, such as Guess and Beverly Hills Polo Club for a bargain price.
While the latter typically retails for £18, a 75ml bottle of the designer Guess perfume would set you back £25 - or a whopping five times more.
Although the bargain-mad customer didn't reveal the total count of the scents they had snapped up, a snap of the trolley showed more than a staggering 30 bottles.

The lucky shopper - who claimed to have ''cleared Tesco'' - added that they wouldn't be stopping there either.
Sharing a snap of their epic haul, the thrifty beauty buff went on in the caption: ''Off to another store to clear the shelves, don't be too mad.''
However, whilst the bargain hunter may have been all chuffed with their epic haul, the reaction on Facebook wasn't so positive.
Dozens of fellow members of the BARGAIN LOVERS HOME BARGAINS, B&M, PRIMARK, ALDI, ASDA & MORE page flooded to comments to slam the shopper for being selfish.

One furious social media user said: ''everyone knows ur about to con the hell out of vulnerable people by doubling even tripling the price..and it's not greed shaming or being rude.
''It's straight up honesty.''

Someone else added: ''then get a legit job .. conning pensioners and people with very little as is is not helping yourself eat its lining pockets for greed your making it sound like they are starving.
''5 quid a bottle and has at least 20 to 25 bottles u do the math.''

However, not everyone disagreed with the customer clearing the shelves - as some admitted they would've done the same.

Highland talent boss urges Scots to join screen industry as extras
Iain Wilkie, owner and founder of BBB Talent Agency – which represents more than 10,500 actors, extras and stunt specialists – said it will surprise people how easy it can be to get involved in the industry and how much fun working on set can be. The veteran actor, who has featured in shows like Outlander, The Crown, Downton Abbey and Outlaw King, said one of the best things about working as an extra is the community and the positive impact it has on your mental health. Wilkie, a former chef, said he knew working as an extra was a 'bit special' after he decided to dip his toe into the industry after he returned to Scotland following a stint living in London. READ MORE: Scottish crew 'excluded from Spider Man 4 filming' 'I didn't know what to do with my life, and then all of a sudden, I'm in this environment where it's fantasy, it is pure fantasy,' he said. Wilkie added that some of the best parts of the job are that everyone enjoys having a 'laugh' while on set and that you get to 'become a child again' as everything is catered for you and you're told exactly what to do at all times. 'I'll tell anybody this, if you are suffering from any mental health problems or depression or anything like that, if you have the motivation to find to get yourself up and to go out there, that will change your life,' he said. One of the best aspects of becoming an extra is the people you get to meet as shoots are often a 'melting pot' of personalities with people coming from all backgrounds to take part, Wilkie said. He explained you could be sitting, waiting to fill in as a soldier in a fight scene, along with a judge, a surgeon, or someone who works in a supermarket, as the job's flexibility attracts people from all aspects of life. (Image: Supplied) 'When you're on set, you are stripped of your personality because you're then put into a costume, so it doesn't matter who you are or what you do,' Wilkie said. He added: 'You can have someone who's trying to get off of benefits, trying to find work next to the guy who works in Tesco, next to one of Scotland's most senior cops, all in this wonderful, wonderful melting pot of people.' The BBB agency head said there is often a misconception that people need to look like Brad Pitt or Marlon Monroe to secure supporting roles in TV and film. 'They don't want that, they just want your every man,' he explained. Wilkie added that you don't need professional photographs and that you can use your phone to upload pictures of yourself to the talent agency's app as long as they are clear and have a clear background. 'As long as you can see someone's face and their hair colour correctly, and their shape in a full-length picture, and their measurements are up to date. Job done. 'It's really that simple. What they're looking to do is find a face that fits that scene and find a costume that fits them.' He added that the beauty of the job is that you can do as much as you want or as little as you want; you just have to give the producers your availability. Wilkie founded BBB Talent Agency, originally named Beautiful Bearded Bastards, around eight years ago because he enjoyed the camaraderie on the set so much. What originally started as an unofficial coalition between extras and stunt people soon became a unified force, with Wilkie helping to lead the charge. BBB Talent Agency is renowned across the UK's TV and film industry for supplying talent for some of the biggest shows, including Hollywood blockbusters and top streaming programmes from the likes of Netflix. Extras at Wilkie's agency have been involved with some of the most memorable scenes from TV in the last decade, including the last big battle for the final season of Outlander and Game of Thrones's Battle of the Bastards, which is the longest battle scene ever filmed for TV. 'The BBBs are fantastic. My community is just unbelievable. I mean, I'm so lucky.' (Image: Supplied) Wilkie also decided to roll up his sleeves and tackle the industry's union for extras, Equity, around six years ago over a pay dispute, as he said the industry rate had not changed in 15 years. Despite being warned he could lose everything he had built, Wilkie took on the union and won an improved rate for Scotland's extras and stunt performers. Wilkie said his win against the union to help better support the industry was a catalyst for BBB Talent Agency and helped him along to the success that the Highland firm has found to date.
