A bargain hunter compared the prices of essential items in different supermarkets and made a shock discovery - that Marks & Spencer can be cheaper than Aldi for some items.
Kathryn Leech, 27, has been documenting money-saving hacks on TikTok for a while and over time, she noticed that prices were starting to creep up.
She spotted that a general one-kilogram bag of carrots went up by 20 per cent, up to 60p, and the price of cucumbers soared by 15p.
Kat, from Manchester, compared prices of essential foods in both supermarkets and found most items were the same price, with some items actually cheaper in M&S - which is typically known to be pricier.
What do you think about Kathryn's discovery? Let us know in the comments...
Kathryn said: "I've been doing price comparison videos for about six months now and I've noticed everything has increased.
"For example, one kilogram of carrots used to be 50 pence everywhere and it's currently 60 pence and a lot of fruit and vegetable items have increased by at least ten pence or more, cucumbers were 60 pence a few months ago and are now 75 pence.
"I was surprised that a budget supermarket and a high-end supermarket have a lot of the same priced products.
"Between M&S and Aldi I found a lot of products that were the same price, but M&S actually had cheaper eggs and sugar which I think a lot of people aren't aware of, the price difference is only about five pence but I think this is a big saving as they're items most people buy regularly."
In an effort to help her fans save money, Kat shared some top tips to keep in mind when doing your weekly shop.
She continued: "Buy in bulk if you can and check the price label carefully as it's better to look at the price per weight.
"Meal plan every week by basing meals on items I already have in my cupboards. Set a budget and don't impulse buy.
"Shop around to see where I can get the best deal.
"Plan ahead, frozen's often cheaper than fresh, get the app and loyalty card for every shop, use the coupons and offers only if it's something you need anyway, don't impulse buy, buy loose fruit and veg."
