My cheap Primark haul went so wrong – I went from looking like I was off for surgery to being part of Nando’s furniture | The Sun

SHE hit Primark in the hope of adding to her wardrobe with some fabulous new items.

But Courtney was left more than a little disappointed when she hit the discount store, only to find that the stock was overpriced or not her cup of tea.




"I was supposed to be doing a fashion haul but Primark, what is going on?" she began her TikTok video.

"This coat, £45," she said of a blue mac.

"If cost of living is not enough, Primark's now sky high."

"You've also got your granny's carpet in a dress form," she slammed some floral outfits.

Courtney did like one thing though – a suede-look minidress that was giving her Zara vibes.

But then things once again took a turn for the worse.

"This looks like when you were little and you made an Easter bonnet," she said of some colourful summer hats.

"Bianca from EastEnders come and get your coat back," Courtney joked of a shiny puffer-style jacket.

A pair of striped trousers reminded her of Bananas in Pyjamas, while a wall of black and white clothes was giving her "Addams Family vibes".

Of some tropical shorts, Courtney said: "This is like what your mum would wear in Benidorm."

And then she found her most hated section – the animation branded clothes.

"Oh my god, anyone who knows me knows I hate animation," she said.

"It's just everywhere."

The same goes for Barbie movie merchandise, as Courtney raged: "If I hear the word Barbie one more time my brains are actually going to f**king blow."

"Georgie from It come and get your rain mac back," she said of a yellow jacket.

Before slamming the array of colourful cargos they had in store, moaning: "They've got them in every f**king colour – disgusting."

Things didn't get any better after that either.

"This is like a hospital gown, and this is like the Nando's menu," she said of a striped dress and a colourful patterned miniskirt.

She ended up leaving the store with just two things – a crochet-style top and a dark blue coat.

"What a disaster that was!" Courtney captioned her video.

"I'll try again next week!"

People were quick to weigh in on the video, with many sharing the same complaint about Primark's prices.

"Why is primark so expensive!?" one wrote.

"I shop on shein more now, primark have really upped their prices," another added.

As a third said: "I buy loads on vinted now."

And others used their comments to agree with Courtney's assessment of the clothes.
