In an incredible display of bargain-hunting prowess, one woman has stunned shoppers by walking away with £309 worth of groceries for just £5. Her secret? A little-known supermarket trick that anyone can use.
The Ultimate Supermarket Hack
The shopper, whose identity remains unknown, took advantage of heavily discounted items at her local supermarket. By carefully selecting products with the biggest markdowns, she managed to fill her trolley with high-value goods for next to nothing.
How She Did It
The key to her success was timing and persistence:
- She shopped during late evening hours when stores typically reduce prices
- Focused on perishable items like meat, dairy and baked goods
- Checked every aisle for yellow reduced stickers
- Wasn't afraid to ask staff about upcoming reductions
What She Bought
Among her haul were premium items that would normally break the bank:
- High-quality steaks reduced from £12 to 30p
- Artisan cheeses marked down from £5 to 15p
- Freshly baked goods discounted to just 10p
- Organic vegetables for a fraction of their normal price

Shopping experts recommend these strategies for similar savings:
