In the current cost of living crisis many people have found themselves shopping around to find bargains and save every penny they can. We went to Heron Foods in Clifton, with a fiver to buy food essentials and to see if it's similar to other supermarkets.
Walking into the store, it was pretty empty, I grabbed a basket and ventured around looking for everyday food essentials. Firstly I grabbed a loaf of bread, Warburtons Toastie Sliced Bread, 400g, which was £1. However, to my disappointment I could have saved as much as 10p at supermarket giant Asda where the item costs 90p, and at Tesco where it costs 95p.
Still on the first aisle, I then turned around to have a browse at the canned goods. With a few options of different soups, I decided to pick up some tomato soup for 59p. They tend to have a long-lasting expiration date, which is very useful. But at Tescos, you can buy their own brand for as cheap as 55p. A few pence can make a difference for many.
