As the rising cost of living continues, many households across Scotland will be wondering how they can stick to a budget while also getting in their essentials.
For some, it means turning to budget supermarkets and retailers such as Aldi and Lidl to get in their weekly grocery shop whilst also keeping costs low.
But, is there any other retailer that would let you pick up a few household snacks for the very low cost of just £10. Well, that's exactly what one reporter from Edinburgh Live set out to find out.
Iona Young headed to the capital's Company Shop to see how much they could get for a tenner. The bargain food store stocks food that otherwise would go to waste or end up in landfill, and members can buy it at up to 70 per cent off the normal price.
There are currently only two Company Shops in Scotland, with one in Edinburgh and the other based in Renfrew, Glasgow.
From finding a good selection of vegan and vegetarian food to enough to fill school lunchboxes, this is how Iona got on...
"We visited on a Thursday afternoon to do a weekly shop with the challenge of only spending £10 which shouldn't be difficult at all - with prices as low as 5p.
When you first enter the store you walk past the fresh food section including fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry leading onto cheese, milk and yogurts.
Most of the the steaks and whole chickens as well as chicken thighs, mince etc are half price on the day allowing you to get the basics for a meal for around a quarter of the supermarket price.
But not to worry, if you are vegetarian or vegan as there are plenty of plant based discount price items from Quorn and Birdseye.
On the last visit they had dozens of the barista Alpro Soya milk cartons for just 39p.
So focussing on packed lunches, stock items for the cupboard such as pasta sauce and pasta etc with a few cheap treats on the way here is how much we got in a company shop haul.

- Fancy Chilli and lime tortilla chips - 79p
- 6 blackcurrant jellies - 56p
- Grilled vegetable pesto - 60p
- Sunset candle - with a burn time of 35 hours - 89p
- Colgate total toothpaste - £1
- Fancy breadsticks - 50p
- Decaf tea - 51p
- Two bags of fizzy Percy Pig chews - £1
- Six salt and vinegar pork puffs - £3 (27p each)
- 6 packs of Lindt mini chocolate Santas - 25p each
- Red curry paste - 65p
- 5 fairtrade 'gingerella' ginger beers - 40p each
- Another red pesto - 49p

On top of all that for £12, there were also hundreds of Maggi's cook in the bag seasoning packets at the end so I picked up 22 of those.
Due to the nature of the stock, there are often free goodies at the end to pick up.
There are also dozens of crates filled with all sorts of random dry groceries which is often where I pick up 75% of my shop at the Company Store.
The items completely vary so when you find some belters, its likely you won't see them again - unless you are lucky.
