How to save money on your food shop
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save hundreds of pounds a year:
Odd boxes - plenty of retailers offer slightly misshapen fruit and veg or surplus food at a discounted price.
Lidl sells five kilos of fruit and veg for just £1.50 through its Waste Not scheme while Aldi shoppers can get Too Good to Go bags which contain £10 worth of all kinds of products for £3.30.
Sainsbury's also sells £2 "Taste Me, Don't Waste Me" fruit and veg boxes to help shoppers reduced food waste and save cash.
Food waste apps - food waste apps work by helping shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses shift stock that is due to go out of date and passing it on to members of the public.
Some of the most notable ones include Too Good to Go and Olio.
Too Good to Go's app is free to sign up to and is used by millions of people across the UK, letting users buy food at a discount.
Olio works similarly, except users can collect both food and other household items for free from neighbours and businesses.
Yellow sticker bargains - yellow sticker bargains, sometimes orange and red in certain supermarkets, are a great way of getting food on the cheap.
But what time to head out to get the best deals varies depending on the retailer. You can see the best times for each supermarket here.
Super cheap bargains - sign up to bargain hunter Facebook groups like Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK where shoppers regularly post hauls they've found on the cheap, including food finds.
"Downshift" - you will almost always save money going for a supermarket's own-brand economy lines rather than premium brands.
The move to lower-tier ranges, also known as "downshifting" and hailed by consumer expert Martin Lewis, could save you hundreds of pounds a year on your food shop.

I bought a bargain picket fence on Temu to make my garden pretty & keep my dog off the wall – but made an epic mistake
Read on to see what happened to the fence FENCED OUT? I bought a bargain picket fence on Temu to make my garden pretty & keep my dog off the wall – but made an epic mistake Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BARGAIN hunter thought she found a fence for her garden, but what arrived was a mega fail. Kerry-Louise Webber decided to give her garden an update for the summer and keep her dog from jumping on the garden wall. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Kerry-Louise wanted a cute picket fence to run along her wall Credit: Facebook/ BARGAIN LOVERS 2 But what she got left her in stitches Credit: Facebook/ BARGAIN LOVERS So, she decided to buy an adorable picket fence in brown to add a touch of glam and prevent her dog from climbing up. Kerry-Louise didn't want to spend too much on the garden makeover so decided to head to Temu to grab a bargain. The online retailer is well known for its cut-price deals so she was pleased to see a fence on offer for just £1.34. But when it came she was left in hysterics. Taking to Facebook, she shared a video of her garden and where she wanted to put the new buy. She said: "Right, having done the garden, I've bought a little fence. I thought if I put a little fence along here like, and along there, it would look quite pretty and stop her (Kerry-louise's pitbull) jumping on and off the wall. "So I thought, get a little picket fence. "So, I ordered one off Temu which looked lovely." The little while wall was decorated in knickknacks and fairy lights and the picket fence would have looked gorgeous surrounding it. But when the package came, Kerry-Louise was stunned to see it only stood around 10cm tall. I made a DIY fence for £68 with pallets from Facebook Marketplace - it gives more privacy & people say it's 'fantastic' She was left in hysterics as she joked: "What the actual f***. "That's the picket fence. Holy moly." In the comments of the clip, she revealed that when she first opened the package she thought it was a KitKat bar as it was so small. Fortunately the tiny fence didn't go to waste as the woman had a friend who used them for a doll house she was making. The video soon went viral on the Facebook group, BARGAIN LOVERS Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More, and people were left in hysterics in the comments. One person wrote: "Pahahah as soon as you said Temu I knew where this was heading." Another commented: "I never check measurements, I know better now!" "OMG that's so big! Are you planning on hiding from your neighbours?" joked a third. Why is Temu so cheap? TEMU exploded onto the scene in late 2022, with people all over social media raving about the low prices. The company is a Chinese-owned digital marketplace - essentially an online shopping app where people are connected to the retailer directly while the app takes care of the shipping element. The frenzy over the app is not completely unfounded either as it offers a wide variety of products, including fashion, make-up, electronics and furniture. According to a report from the US House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, Temu takes advantage of a trade loophole that allows the company to ship duty-free goods directly to the US. The loophole is called the de minimis exception and it means they can ship goods valued up to $800 (£643) to the US without it being inspected or taxed by US customs. Temu connects customers directly to manufacturers and only manages how the items are sent to customers. It means Chinese vendors can essentially sell their products directly to customers and ship it without building a network of warehouses across the globe. By doing this, they cut down on huge costs and ensure the product itself isn't marked up extra. While many of the products seen on the Temu app are from brands with extensive, original collections, many more are dupes of designer brands. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Gosh, that made me chuckle." "Temu did you dirty,' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "Sorry but that is so funny!"
