I ditched Sainsbury’s to try my weekly shop at M&S instead – I was floored and it saved me a whopping £20 too
A SAVVY mum has revealed that she is on the hunt to try and find which supermarkets do the cheapest food, and after her recent trip to M&S, she was left very impressed.
Ashleigh Beck explained that she previously went to Sainsbury’s to get her weekly food shop, but was left disappointed with the prices.
As a result, she took a trip to M&S to check out their food – and left with a mega haul that was actually cheaper than what she previously got in Sainsbury’s.
Taking to TikTok, where she posts under the username @ashleighbeckofficial1997, the bargain hunter mum showed her followers her massive food shop.
She posted her clip with the caption ‘Chuffed with £44!!’ and said: “Okay, I’m actually shocked.
“So this is my M&S weekly top up food shop.
“If you remember last week, I did Sainsbury’s and that was like £63.
“You’re not actually gonna believe how much this all was and I got so much more food than Sainsbury’s.
“I paid £44.68 for all of this, so I’ve got rolls, sticky iced buns, broccoli, I’ve got apple juice, I’ve got salad potatoes, I’ve got a massive, massive carbonara with this garlic bread which is £1, they make it every day, I’m telling you, see that garlic butter, it is so good, that is the best garlic bread you ever have.
“I’ve got strawberries, peppers, beans – we’ve all been talking about it, Heinz beans are like £1.50, £1.75, for beans or hoops – 50p and it’s M&S ones, so I’m gonna try these.
“Chunky chips – banging – carrots, bananas, pork pies and sausage rolls the kids lunches.
“Grapes, bread, lettuce, this [Choco Pops] was I think £1.10, that one [Multigrain Hoops] I think was £1.50.
“The squash was like 90p, then their version of Wotsits, apples, ham, cheese, sausages, pasta, sticky toffee sauce for ice cream, pancakes for the kids for breakfast and chorizo.
“But I got all of that for ￡44 which I think is b****y good.
“I went in there thinking ‘oh my god like this is gonna be well over £70/80 and it was £44.
“I still have money left over.
“I am not gonna fault M&S, definitely I’m gonna be shopping in there more often, but yeah this is the M&S haul because you all said it’s really cheap and it was very b****dy cheap and probably a lot better quality than Aldi or Sainsbury’s at the minute.
“I feel like I’m spending so much on Sainsbury’s, even your strawberries and your grapes, they were two for £4 – I’m spending like £3 just on strawberries, or £3.50 in Sainsbury’s.
“So yeah, shop around, M&S definitely for the win.”
