With the cost of living crisis many supermarket chains have launched budget ranges and many have been promoting offers and discounts. With that in mind, we decided to take £5 to Tesco to see how much we could get to stock our cupboards. Laycie Beck reports.
I headed to my nearest Tesco superstore with a few essentials in mind, such as pasta and bread, but as I completed my shop I tried to pick items that could be used as the basis of a couple of meals.
Although I had a Tesco Clubcard it didn't actually make any of my items cheaper, as although the Clubcard is fantastic at reducing the prices of top brands, most of Tesco's own brand products already cost less than the reduced prices. I also decided to stay away from the yellow sticker section as although you can find bargains there, it is not guaranteed.
