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apps - food waste apps work by helping shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses shift stock that is due to go out of date and passing it on to members of the public.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've had so much plastic surgery I couldn't get through passport control – I've lost count of the number of ops I've had
Tatiana Murillo says she's spent over £100,000 on plastic surgery - but still wants 'a few more adjustments' CHANGING FACES I've had so much plastic surgery I couldn't get through passport control – I've lost count of the number of ops I've had Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN INFLUENCER says she's had so much work done that border officials didn't even recognise her ID photo. Tatiana Murillo, who is also known as "The Colombian Barbie", has had over 20 cosmetic surgeries, according to local media. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Tatiana Murillo says she's spent over COP 700 million (£128,000) on cosmetic surgeries Credit: Newsflash 4 The influencer shared a few pre-surgery snaps with her nearly 1 million followers Credit: Newsflash 4 Tatiana says she has transformed herself into who she 'always dreamed of being' Credit: Newsflash Tatiana said border officials in the Dominican Republic stopped her because she looked nothing like the photo on her ID. She added that she had to renew her Colombian ID card because she looked completely different from the one she got at 18. Tatiana told local media: "I had to renew it. I had an experience in the Dominican Republic where they wouldn't let me in because I wasn't who I was, and I understood them. I told them, 'I understand you'." She said that officials told her: "No, that's not you." The content creator shared before-and-after snaps with her 858,000 followers. Tatiana candidly told local media she has lost count of the exact number of procedures she has undergone. She said: "I stopped counting surgeries a long time ago, for my mental health." Besides surgeries, she said she has also had non-invasive procedures, like Botox, hyaluronic acid and Cupid's bow touch-ups. She said her first cosmetic procedure was a nose job done at a clinic with no medical guarantees - one of the so-called 'garage operating rooms'. That rhinoplasty didn't turn out as she'd hoped - leading her to undergo three extra nose jobs to finally achieve the side profile she desired. This Morning star reveals body transformation after being 'stressed and unhappy' after surgery Tatiana said she has also had work done on other parts of her body, including her breasts, abdomen, face and chin. Altogether, she has spent around COP 700 million (£128,000). She said: "Yes, it's a lot, but for me, it's an investment in what I want to be. I still need a few more adjustments." She added: "From a very young age, I knew there were things about my body I wanted to change. 4 Tatiana said she was unhappy with her looks from a young age Credit: Newsflash "To achieve this, I worked hard and focused on them. This is me, who I always dreamed of being." She said her transformation was so drastic that she decided to update all her official documents. It comes as a model and journalist recently died after allegedly having backstreet bum fillers. Lygia Fazio, 40, passed away after having the botched procedure in Brazil. She developed severe complications from the injections, which used polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) - a synthetic resin commonly used as a glass substitute. PMMA is often sold under brand names like Plexiglas, Lucite and Perspex. In cosmetic procedures, tiny PMMA microspheres suspended in a biological fluid are injected under the skin as soft-tissue fillers. But in Lygia's case, the substance spread throughout her body, leading to severe infections and even a stroke.

I quit my job, signed up to Universal Credit and had my third baby – taxpayers call me ‘selfish' but I don't care
But while some understood Xai's motivations, others called her "sad" NO KIDDING I quit my job, signed up to Universal Credit and had my third baby – taxpayers call me 'selfish' but I don't care Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MOTHER has revealed that she quit her job, signed up to Universal Credit and had another baby. But Xai, a mum-of-three who lives in London, has since been met with a barrage of abuse, as nasty trolls accuse her of being an "embarrassment." Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A mother has revealed that not long after quitting her job, she signed up to Universal Credit and gave birth to her third child Credit: tiktok/@xainlo_3 2 While haters have criticised the mother-of-three, she wasn't afraid to clap back and set the record straight on her situation Credit: tiktok/@xainlo_3 However, Xai has confidently clapped back to the keyboard warriors and shared that she wants to be 'present' and 'raise' her little darlings herself. It comes after the content creator took to social media and uploaded a video of her alongside her youngest child. Xai confirmed that recently, people have said to her: 'You look happier.' Setting the record straight on the change in her mood, Xai acknowledged: 'Thanks I quit my job, signed up for Universal Credit and had another baby.' But as Xai laughed for the short video, she also wrote: 'Gonna really annoy the (income) taxpayer with this one.' While Xai didn't confirm how much income she receives through Universal Credit, the standard amount for those who are single and under 25 is £316.98 a month, while it's £400.14 for parents who are single and 25 or over. Meanwhile, for those living with a partner and both are under £25, the standard amount is £497.55, while it's £628.10 a month for those living with a partner and one or both are over 25. Claimants will also get the child element added to their standard amount if they are responsible for a child who normally lives with them. There are extra amounts for a second child if they were born before 6 April 2017. Claimants usually only get an additional payment for three or more children if they were born before 6 April 2017. I lost 'everything' when UC stopped my £4.3k-month payment... now I've been sacked from my new job The additional child payment is £339 a month for those with an eldest child born before 6 April 2017. It is £292.81 a month if a parents' oldest child was born before 6 April 2017 and for a second child and each eligible child after that, it is £292.91 a month. Big divide Xai's TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @xainlo_3, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 117,900 views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 4,214 likes, 214 comments and 115 saves. But social media users were left totally divided by Xai's clip - whilst some understood her motivations, others called her "selfish." One person said: 'You're an embarrassment. Am I entitled to Universal Credit? According to the GOV website, if you're on a low income or need help with your living costs, then you could be entitled to Universal Credit. To claim, you must live in the UK, be aged 18 or over (with some exceptions if you're 15 to 17), be under State Pension age, and have £16,000 or less in money, savings and investments. Other circumstances are if you are out of work, or unable to work, for example because of a health condition. 'Bringing children into the world so they can suffer with you isn't a flex.' To this, Xai clapped back and confirmed: 'No one [is] suffering round here.' Another added: 'And my taxes are paying for it… cheers.' It's not enough to survive, but it's temporary while my kids are little Xai Eager to share her story, Xai wrote back and shared: 'No sir I've been an income taxpayer since I got my degree and we all still pay council tax VAT etc so your tax is not paying for a single penny of my life. 'I'm just getting back what's mine.' A third commented: 'Oh my I'm not excited to turn 18 and pay these selfish ones wages.' Not only this, but someone else wrote: 'Looool I don't mind mums getting my taxes just think it's sad you guys would wanna give your kids the bare minimum cause UC living is barely surviving.' How much Universal Credit can you get? TRYING to work out how much Universal Credit you can get can be overwhelming. There are so many different elements that can affect your claim and it makes the whole process even more complicated. There are several free calculators that you can use to help you get an estimate, such as Citizen's Advice, MoneySavingExpert, StepChange and Turn2Us. You will need: Details of all your income, such as existing benefits, tax credits, earnings from employment and your pensions, Details of your partner's income if you're married, in a civil partnership or living with someone as a couple. You will be assessed as a couple Information on any savings you have, How much you pay in council tax per year, and whether you get any discounts, reductions or exemptions, Details of your rent or mortgage payments, Employment and income information about anyone else living with you, such as grown-up children, Details about your carer's allowance if you receive it. You'll need to make sure that the information provided is as accurate as possible to get the truest estimate. To this, the mum-of-three responded: 'I agree it's not enough to survive, but it's temporary while my kids are little. "I want to be present and raise them myself. We'll worry about the money before and after.' But at the same time, others were impressed by Xai, as one mother stressed: 'I wanna be like you.' A second agreed and beamed: 'As a working mum! I get it! Enjoy your time.' Whilst another praised: 'Nothing better than a mum who puts her babies and herself first.'

And although you may think that purchasing a new outdoor sofa set will be pricey, many retailers are currently reducing their garden tables and chairs.

B&M has slashed the price of its New York Corner Set by £75, a saving of 21%. Top gardening trends of 2025 Gardening experts at Barnsdale Gardens has shared the top gardening trends of 2025. Matrix planting It seems that a top planting trend for this year is going to be Matrix Planting. In essence, planting in groups or blocks to give an effect of being wild whilst actually being carefully managed. Selection of the plants is essential, to give year-round interest either with flowers, seed heads or frosted/snowy spent flower heads. Some recommend using plants that seed around, but this could make managing your matrix planting harder to keep under control. Chrysanthemum comeback I hope that the humble Chrysanthemum makes as much of a comeback this year as Dahlias have over recent years, because the simple single flowered types, such as 'Innocence' and 'Cottage Apricot' would be spectacular within a matrix scheme. The hardy varieties are so easy to grow in a sunny spot and give such a valuable burst of late summer and autumn colour that would lift any dull- looking border. Blended borders For some time now we have been promoting the growing of veg within ornamental borders and I think this could really take off this year. The choice of ornamental-looking varieties available in seed catalogues is phenomenal and, if managed correctly, visitors to your garden will not even realise that you have veg growing! Must-have tool My secret is out. I discovered the Hori Hori a couple of years ago and now it seems so is everyone else. It is such a well-made, adaptable tool that can be used as a trowel or weeding tool in the garden that and everyone I speak to who have used it absolutely would not now be without it. Enough said! The sofa set, which was originally priced at £350, has now been reduced to £275. Tesco shoppers are currently rushing to stores to buy stunning "reduced to clear" garden furniture that's up to 40% off. Shoppers can get their hands on the Outsunny Foldable Sun Lounger that comes with a side pocket and headrest for £23.19. Reduced from £28.99, this lounger is great for relaxing outdoors. If you're planning a garden bash this summer and need to give your gazebo frames a new lease of life, these Outsunny Gazebo Side Panels might just be for you. The side panels have been reduced to £25.59 and come in two different sizes, both of which have windows to let in that natural light.
