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apps - food waste apps work by helping shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses shift stock that is due to go out of date and passing it on to members of the public.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'm a wealthy Dubai housewife & my millionaire hubby has upgraded my life in 7 lavish ways – I have a maid & don't work
THAT'S RICH I'm a wealthy Dubai housewife & my millionaire hubby has upgraded my life in 7 lavish ways – I have a maid & don't work Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A DUBAI housewife who is married to a millionaire has shared seven ways her wealthy hubby has upgraded her life. Linda Andrade, 25, who welcomed baby Amira last year with husband Ricky, often shares insights into her lavish life to her fans. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Millionaire housewife Linda Andrade leads an extravagant life in Dubai Credit: TikTok/@lionlindaa 2 Linda now gets her hair done every day - and has a manicurist come to her house to do her nails Credit: TikTok/@lionlindaa In a recent clip on her @lionlindaa account, which has 1.2million followers, she shared: '7 ways my rich husband has upgraded my life. 'What else should he do?' One of the ways Linda claims her life is now improved is that she gets her hair professionally done 'every day.' On top of this, she also gets at-home manicures so she can watch Gossip Girl at the same time from her sofa. Despite being a stay at home mum, she also now has a 'full time nanny, chef and maid', waiting on her hand and foot. She also has upgraded her food, and now has caviar regularly, and claims it is a good source of Vitamin C in her diet. Many women struggle to get their partner to take a good photo of them for social media, but Linda, originally from the US, claims her husband is a great 'personal photographer.' He also always accompanies her when she shops for designer clutter for protection. And not only the mall, but he also makes sure she gets to go to the 'hottest events.' We previously shared how after giving birth, Linda was gifted a Hermes Crocodile Kelly handbag from her husband, which retail at around £70,000. I'm a rich housewife & I asked for a £2m dress & 7 diamonds rings from my man when we got married - but that's not all Linda revealed she plans to get their daughter a new wardrobe of Dior clothes and shoes, and of course, jewellery. As her "mum car", Linda was given a new Lamborghini. Meanwhile, at Christmas Linda said she expected £200,000 stocking fillers to keep her happy. Many people were amazed at her lavish lifestyle, with one saying: 'May this life ATTACK me.' Another added: 'The life that every girls dreams, ur so lucky.' A third admitted: 'So jealous.'

Aldi's £10 bedroom essential keeps you cool during hot summer nights so you'll sleep soundly & it costs nothing to run
Read on for more ways to get through summer Dream Deal Aldi's £10 bedroom essential keeps you cool during hot summer nights so you'll sleep soundly & it costs nothing to run ALDI shoppers are raving over a £10 bedroom essential that's perfect for hot summer nights. The clever essential doesn't cost a penny to run and is sure to be flying off shelves as temperatures rise across the UK. 2 Aldi has launched a cooling pillow and duvet set perfect for sweaty summer nights - all without sending your energy bill soaring Credit: Aldi Aldi's Specialbuys range has done it again - serving up cooling comforts for a bargain price, just in time for the summer heatwave. The Slumberdown Stay Cool Pillow Pair, priced at just £9.99, are a must-have for anyone who struggles to sleep in the heat. They're designed with clever Hydrocool moisture management technology, which absorbs moisture from body heat to keep your sleep space cool, dry and comfortable all night long. With medium support, they're ideal for back sleepers, and the best part? They're machine washable and tumble dryer friendly - making summer snoozing effortless. It is a game-changer for stuffy nights, and at just a tenner for two, it's a total no-brainer. Other products And it's not just pillows getting the cooling treatment - Aldi is also selling a Slumberdown Always Cool Double Duvet for just £14.99. Made with the same Hydrocool tech, it helps regulate your body temperature by drawing away moisture, so you can stay fresh and sweat-free even on the muggiest nights. The lightweight design makes it perfect for summer, and like the pillows, it's machine washable - so you can stay cool and clean with zero fuss. Together, the set offers a budget-friendly way to transform your bed into a chilled-out sleep haven without touching the thermostat. I beat the heat with free 'ice trick' that works with any home fan There's also the Slumberdown Always Cool Hydrocool King Duvet, priced at just £16.99. It uses the same Hydrocool tech to wick away moisture and keep you feeling fresh through the night - even when the heat is relentless. Perfect for hot sleepers or stuffy bedrooms, it's a summer bedding essential that won't break the bank. The collection is available to buy in Aldi stores from Thursday 10th July. Other cooling hacks It might sound wild, but hanging your washing outside your windows could be the genius summer hack you never knew you needed. If you're bunging towels or bedsheets in the wash today, try pegging them over your windows - not only will they dry quicker in the scorching heat, but they'll also help block out the blazing sun and keep your home cooler. That's right - dry your laundry and beat the heat in one go. Another hack that people are sharing on Mumsnet is to use a hot water bottle, yes, even in the summer. You simply fill the water bottle with a small amount of cold water and stick it in the freezer until frozen. Then you want to place it at the bottom of your bed to keep you cool all night long. However, you shouldn't use the same hot water bottle for hot water in winter and freezing in summer, as it can weaken the rubber. If you can, buy two hot water bottles and change them for each task. Many agreed that the hack was vital to staying cool in the summer. One wrote: "In praise of the cold water bottle. "It's just a hot water bottle filled with cold water, but it's so helpful when it's really hot." 2 A hot water bottle isn't just for the colder months Credit: Alamy How to survive six weeks of school summer holidays IF you are struggling with the six week summer holidays, you've come to the right place... BATTLING BOREDOM: Despite hours of activities and playdates, if your kids are already complaining there's nothing to do, parenting expert Liat Hughes Joshi says: 'Don't feel you have to organise every second of the holidays. Kids benefit from boredom and learn to make their own fun. 'Boredom can trigger creative and imaginative play but you need to encourage kids to get used to not being told how to spend their time. 'Ride out the pleas of boredom. Counter it with comments such as, 'What do you think you could do?' and maybe have a list of 'I'm bored' activity ideas on the fridge.' SCREEN OVERLOAD: It's tempting during the holidays to rely on a digital babysitter but don't let them gawp their whole summer away in front of a screen. Liat says: 'It's unfair to expect older kids to power down but it's important to set some ground rules. 'Set family tech rules together. If you're often distracted by your phone, follow the rules too. Maybe tell the kids they aren't allowed any screen time until they've done set chores, some exercise, or a board game. 'Are there times when you'd like to ban screens completely? Perhaps during dinner or when they have friends over to visit. 'Tech is a battleground for parents, but you have to set boundaries. Stand firm and be prepared to be unpopular.' TOO MUCH TOGETHERNESS: You love your kids, but being with them 24/7 can be exhausting. Do not feel guilty if you need a bit of downtime. Liat says: 'If you're juggling work and household tasks as well as occupying the kids, it's normal to start feeling overwhelmed or jaded and in need of some peace. 'If you can't afford or don't want to send your kids to all-day camps, look for free kids' workshops so you can get on with jobs or have a break for a couple of hours. 'Seeking a spell of quiet every now and then doesn't make you a bad parent — in fact it will probably make you more positive and enthusiastic when you are with the kids.' SCHEDULING CONFLICT: Schedules can go out the window during holidays, but late nights and early mornings can mean tired and unhappy children. Dr Tamara Bugembe, paediatrician and founder of says: 'Children get grumpy, test boundaries and become challenging when routines are broken. 'Sticking to some kind of routine during the holidays is a good idea. 'We release hormones at different times of the day and when regular meal times and bed times are broken, it causes dips and peaks in mood. 'Holidays are about having fun but an early night once or twice a week will make everyone happier.' EXCESS ENERGY: Make sure kids get out in the fresh air to tire them out — and make them healthier and happier. Dr Bugembe says: 'Sunshine also tops up vital vitamin D levels which helps improve bone strength and energy levels in children. Our levels run low in winter so let the kids stock up in warmer weather. 'Letting them run around in shorts and a T-shirt is the best way to top up. Make sure they're wearing sun cream, get outside and have fun. 'Encourage them to try healthy habits such as cycling and walking. They'll hopefully get hooked and want to carry them on when the weather gets colder.'
