The footwear in question was a pair of black heeled sandals with a gold buckle detailing on the side that had initially been going for a whopping £105.
At first, TK Maxx had put a sticker that said £70, but over time the price dropped from £1.70 to just 70p.
Of course, Martine is not one to sleep on a good deal so she immediately bagged it.
But whilst she may have loved the find, which she stumbled upon in the clearance section, people on social media insisted the mum had wasted her money.
People were quick to point out that the sole of the shoe was black - proving they had been worn quite a few times

On the lookout for some bargain buys? Best get headed to Depop, as funs have discovered her account where she flogs all of her old designer gear for low prices.
The pleasant news was shared on TikTok by Kyle Tiller (@), from the UK, and fellow fans quickly praised the reality TV star.
''I just found and the price she sells things for has my head spinning,'' Kylie said in .
Some of the designer gear, he revealed in the now-viral clip, was a pair of Louis Vuitton trainers in size UK 4.
Unlike a brand new pair which retails for over a £1,000, the 23-year-old mum was selling it for a mere £180.
Those into high-end footwear could also bag a pair of Gucci leather sandals perfect for sunny beach days.
Whereas some would resell their old sandals for close to £800, Molly-Mae sold hers for just £40, making it a steal.
The former Love Island star, who recently gave birth to an adorable baby daughter, also had listed on-trend Nike Jordans that typically go for more than £430.
This item, though now already sold amongst 110 others bits, was given away at £60, saving the lucky fashionista £370.
Molly-Mae, whose Depop account has over 240k followers and more than 20 five-star reviews, claimed that all profits are donated to charity.
And of course, fans are going crazy, with some saying that this is exactly how Depop should be used.
''I know she’s rich rich and money isn’t an issue but it’s still crazy to me,'' Kylie wrote in the caption.
Since being uploaded on the popular video-sharing platform, the clip has gone viral, racking up over 1.3million views and hundreds of comments.
''Tbh it’s nice of her, she’s most likely gifted the items so is allowing people less fortunate to afford things,'' one fan of the star said.
''What a queen,'' someone else added.
