'I bought 16 items for £17 at M&S - it can be cheaper than Aldi with little-known deals'

We're all looking for ways we can keep spending low amid the cost of living crisis, and one of the easiest ways to reduce your outgoings is to look at where you do your food shopping and whether you'd be able to save some cash by shopping somewhere else.

And while you might think the best places to go are the highly praised discount shops like Lidl and Aldi, one woman has claimed she actually managed to buy 16 everyday items from M&S for less than she would have spent in Aldi.

M&S is usually considered to be one of the more expensive food shops alongside the likes of Waitrose, but according to a woman named Emma, you can pick up a range of items including chicken, steak, and mince for less than £20.
