Edinburgh mum bags over £150 in free shopping thanks to 'supermarket sweep'
An Edinburgh mum bagged over £150 worth of free shopping after she took part in a 60-second mad dash at a local store. Nicky Saunders, 27, from Gilmerton, had only one minute to grab as many items as she could – with the entire basket paid for by the home delivery app, Snappy Shopper. Taking place at Gilmerton Grocers, she was cheered on by her seven-year-old son. Nicky filled six bags worth £154, all of which she'll be sharing with her partner John and their four children, aged two months to seven years.
