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apps - food waste apps work by helping shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses shift stock that is due to go out of date and passing it on to members of the public.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.

Aldi's copycat Pimm's is back on shelves – it's £16 cheaper & ‘tastes very similar'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ALDI'S incredible Pimm's dupe is back on the shelves and its £16 cheaper than the original. Despite the staggeringly low price, the drink tastes 'very similar' to the real thing. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Pimm's is one of the most popular British summer drinks Credit: Darren Fletcher 3 The drink is closely tied with the Wimbledon Championships Credit: Alamy 3 Aldi have created a dupe of the beloved drink Credit: Damien McFadden The German supermarket's Classic Summer Punch has long been a fan favourite and regularly returns for the summer months. It comes in a 0.7L bottle, meaning there is plenty to share around if you're hosting a garden party or summertime barbecue. According to Laura Stott, The Sun's food and drink expert, you'll 'struggle to spot the difference' between the real and the fake Pimm's. Like the real product, the dupe is a blend of gin, fruit and grain spirit and comes in a bottle designed to mirror Pimm's. There is even the iconic Union Jack at the bottom of the label. Aldi sells the summer drink for just £6.89, where Pimm's normally sells for £22.50. That's an incredible saving of £16. Laura said the only difference between the two products is that there is a 'slightly different hue' in the glass and a 'touch more' sweetness. She gave the product a flawless score of 5/5. Pimms has long been associated with one of Britain's most famous sporting events: Wimbledon. The unseen nightmare of living in Wimbledon The 2025 Championships kicked off on June 23 and end on July 13. Several fan-favourite players will be returning, including last year's winners Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejčíková. Emma Raducanu is also playing for the trophy, after being embroiled in controversy last year. The star was set to play doubles with Andy Murray, in what was set to be the Scottish player's final match at the event. However, Emma pulled out at the last minute - bringing Andy's Wimbledon career to an abrupt end. Emma said that she pulled out due to 'stiffness' and said she needed to 'prioritise myself, my singles and my body'. She was eliminated from the competition by New Zealand's Lulu Sun. However, Emma has returned to this year's competition in high spirits and has grown close to Carlos Alcaraz.
