Everyone is looking to save money as the cost-of-living crisis sees prices soar at most shops. While the majority of people know that shopping at the smaller outlets will set you back more than the bigger ones, when a Bristol woman compared the two she was shocked by how big the difference was.
Heading to her nearest Tesco Express in Bristol, Jackie Annett, who works as a money journalist for the Express, bought 23 items that she would typically buy in the larger stores. She found those items cost her £9.08 more at the smaller Express branch, and she worked out that if she shopped there every week she would be £472.16 down over an entire year.
Jackie said: "Before the cost of living crisis, I used to love popping to my local Express store in Bristol around 9pm to see what Yellow Sticker Bargains I could find. However, I’ve noticed lately that the Yellow Sticker bargains are what I can only describe as a joke - I mean if a small pack of sushi is discounted to £4 in the reduced section it begs the question, ‘How much was it in the first place?’
