WITH the cost-of-living crisis affecting everything from electricity to clothes prices, it’s little surprise people are searching for ways to cut back on costs.
But, if it’s your weekly food bill you’re looking to slash in price, then you’re in luck…
Because a savvy shopper has revealed the bargain supermarket that she claims is “crazy cheap.”
In the clip posted to TikTok (@sherenelouise), she admits: “I expected this food shop to be about £80 so I was absolutely baffled by how much it actually cost me.”
Sherene can then be seen wheeling her trolley around her local store, before revealing all of the items she picked up.
“I got conditioner, banana, grapes, gem lettuce, chestnut mushrooms, fresh parsley, two bags of oranges, apples, baby potatoes, Maris Piper potatoes and double cream,” she begins.
