TWO lucky shoppers had a 'smashing' time taking part in a Borders supermarket sweep as they bagged nearly £300 worth of groceries.
Thanks to Snappy Shopper, John Condie and Donna Whiteley filled their baskets with plenty of goodies at One Stop in Hawick.
The Snappy Store Dash event last week (Thursday, April 11) saw Donna and John each have 60 seconds to race around the high street supermarket and grab as many items as they could.
"You're in a maze," John, 44, said, "you just don't think about anything and just try to get as much as you can.
"I really enjoyed it, it was a lot of fun."
Aside from a smashed jar of cooking sauce and some shelves in disarray, the dashers, spectators and One Stop staff all had great fun.
And when asked if they planned to keep any sweet treats for themselves, both John and Donna agreed that they would be sharing any chocolate with friends and family.
Donna, 42, said: "It was really hard.
"My legs gave way at the end."
She added: "It was amazing.
"I had my mind set on what I was going to go for but it never turned out that way."
After her turn at the Snappy Store Dash, Donna bagged £90.54 worth of goods, including chocolate, coffee, pet food and batteries.
In his go running around the One Stop, John managed to fill his basket with an impressive £179.75 of goods - marking the best Snappy Store Dash total so far.
He added: "I've never done something so tiring.
"It was so brilliant."
