In the video, the TikToker said: "Here's a super easy money-saving hack you can do at most supermarkets. When you're buying your seasoning or spices, you don't want to go to the condiments aisle. "You instead want to go to the world foods aisle. This will save you so much money." She explained: "Let me show you a few examples. In the condiments aisle, this paprika cost 43p per 10 grams, or this Asda's own brand for 21p per 10 grams, but if you go to the world foods aisle you can get this pouch of paprika for only 10p per 10 grams. "It's the same for chilli powder, so in the condiments aisle it's 45p per 10 grams, but in the world foods aisle it's 12p per 10 grams, that's literally a quarter of the price. "One more example for you, this ground ginger is 67p per 10 grams, and Asda's is 35p per 10 grams. In the world foods section, it's only 10p per 10 grams, so as you can see, it's definitely much cheaper to buy your seasonings this way."

And this doesn't just apply to spices. Which? explained: "Some groceries, including rice, sauces and baking ingredients, can be found in multiple aisles at different prices.
