A savvy single mum has taken to social media to share photos of a spectacular 50-item bargain haul from Kmart and Bonds, which only cost her $12.95.

The woman also explained how she nabbed the bargains in her post, revealing to customers that she shopped at a rural Kmart and Bonds outlet to score the discounted items.

The woman who posted her incredible bargain haul to the Markdown Addicts Australia page revealed why she needed to replenish her daughter's wardrobe.
"I just want to mention it because I know some people can be judgmental of parents, yes her mattress is too small for her bed," she said.
"I am unemployed and haven't been approved yet for Centrelink, we were given a king single frame but only had a single mattress in storage from when I left my daughter's dad recently due to domestic violence."

"Someone in the group mentioned that I should have gotten myself something, but I am happy to go without as long as my daughter has what she needs."
