I have the best place for bargain food – you don’t even need to go to the supermarket & I got a mountain of grub for £8
A MONEY-SAVING shopper has revealed where to buy groceries if you want to slash the bill and nab heaps of goodies for under a tenner.
Like most of us, Facebook user Laura Keen, from the UK, is looking for ways to minimise the costs where possible – and shopping for food is no exception.
Luckily, for Laura and millions of others cash-strapped Britons, there’s a website where you can bag groceries at discounted costs – and social media users have been going wild.
The savvy shopper took to Facebook to explain more in the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Group.
”Another post about Best before it’s gone.
”Can’t belive the amount we received [sic],” the delighted foodie exclaimed in her post.
According to Laura, some of the groceries she received, such as crisps and tea, arrived as multi packs.
Despite the monster shopping haul, the total came to a mere £8, meaning she had made impressive savings.
Some of the goodies Laura managed to get her hands on were bits of skincare, a bottle of shampoo, air freshener, healthy cereal by Kellogg, crunchy snacks, numerous packets of popular crisps, a jaw of chocolate spread, as well as two bottles of the refreshing Irn-Bru.
Laura continued in the post: ”Absolute bargain. I got flour too but had already put it away.
”There was also more boxes of teabags!!!
”Multi pack items to be shared with friends and cat treats to my local rescue.”

The Facebook post very soon went viral, racking up a whopping 1.4k likes and hundreds of comments from fellow members of the group.
But whilst Laura was raving about the bargain deal, the response online was mixed.
Many, like Laura, were impressed by how cheap the items were, with one writing: ”Thought I’d try it out.
”I haven’t bought any of the edible items, but bought a load of other stuff. All seems decent quality.”
However, others were not so sure about the quality of the food, such as this person who said: ”Looked on site last night but some stuff is 2yrs out of date!”
Another agreed, commenting: ”Can’t believe how out of date some thing’s are that they are selling, don’t get me wrong I’m not a date fanatic but 2&3 year’s out of date is way to much.”
Someone else penned: ”Tinned food can last years as long as its no dents,rust or swelling and packaging stuff like cereal,pasta etc will last by ther sell by date but will go stale or loose taste to it [sic].”
