I'm a mum & Primark has become too expensive – here's the supermarket where I got almost 40 items for less than £80
AS prices are skyrocketing, millions of cash-strapped parents are looking for ways to slash costs wherever possible.
A few years ago, many would've popped inside Primark to snap up a pile of clothes for their little ones on the cheap.

But over the last few months, furious customers have expressed fury over the popular retailer's prices, including a winter coat for £50.
' A £100 price tag in Primark, never thought I'd see the day!', posted a critic, referring to a black dress that Rita, 34, wore to attend the British Fashion Awards.
Another commented on the frock: 'Primark isn't Primarking any more.'
One former customer, mum-of-five and TikToker Mrs Luckey, has now also stopped going to the high street store, dubbing it ''so expensive''.
The cash-savvy mum recently revealed where's been going instead - and how ditching Primark for a supermarket saved her a fortune.
Ahead of the summer holidays, the thrifty mother bagged a mega pile of clothes for less than £80 - and it's all thanks to shopping at ASDA.
The mega supermarket has long been a firm favourite for fashionistas - and there is plenty of wallet-friendly kids clothing too.
During her trip to the store, the money-smart TikToker nabbed a total of 14 pairs of shorts, 14 summery tops, as well as five pairs of colourful leggings.
The monster haul, which came to just £79, also included six sets of adorable pyjamas that her kids are sure to love.
Sharing the jaw-dropping finds, the mum said in the video: ''Primark has become so expensive.
Primark's mini dress is a copy of a £135 designer version - it'll give you a gorgeous hourglass figure & perfect for date night
''So instead of going there, I went to ASDA instead.
''I got the girls a pack of shorts each, all seven of them cost me about £8.
''So that was 14 pairs of shorts for about £16.''

The bargain haul also included gorgeous summery vests that cost the mum just £12 for five - or just £2.40 each - as well as two Moana T-shirts slashed to just £4 on sale.
Not only this, but the savvy shopper also nabbed a pack of seven tops for a mere £8 - and more.
''I thought I did really well. The whole hail cost me £79 and I definitely feel I got more clothes from ASDA than I would've got from Primark.''
Raving about the affordable collection, the mum went on in the comments under the video: ''Such nice quality for the price.''
It's not just the thrifty mum pleased with the retailer's clothing range - heaps of other fans flooded to comments to praise the supermarket.
