Emily, a bargain hunter and mum-of-two from the UK, took to social media to share a look inside Bargain Brand Foods, a discount supermarket offering branded food at incredibly low prices.

The wholesaler specialises in short dated products and those just past their best before – and not only can shoppers find huge bags of chocolate for just £2, but there’s epic deals on the fizzy pop too.

Not only this, but there’s even beauty buys and cheap paint too.

Posting online, Emily took her followers on a trip to the Bargain Brand Foods in Bristol, leaving many open-mouthed.

Emily then said: “Pretty sure this is the Bristol version of the viral discount shop.

“It literally only opened today and some of the discounts are insane – 50p for bottles of Pepsi Max, M&S cereal two for £1.”;

Not only this, but Emily also spotted Heinz ketchup for just £1, Yorkshire Tea for only £2 and huge bags of Twirl chocolates for £2.

She then found Marvel cereal, to which the savvy shopper, who has 2,000 followers on TikTok, added: “I literally have never seen this cereal before, but for £1, it was worth giving it a go.”;

As well as this, Emily nabbed family size bags of M&Ms for only £3, as she beamed: “These may have found their way into the trolley as well.”;

Following this, Emily spotted two packs of chocolate Rich Tea biscuits for £1, Fairy Liquid for £2, packs of flapjacks for £1 and Carr’s crackers, two for just £1.50.

In addition to a huge selection of food bargains, Emily also spotted tins of Cuprinol paint, which were priced at £8 each, or were on offer with two for just £15, to which she expressed: “These are an absolute steal, these are normally £20 a tin.”;

And to finish off her haul, she “stocked up”; on Faith in Natural body wash, which are “normally £6 a bottle”;, but were being flogged for just £1 each.

Emily later confirmed that when visiting Bargain Brand Foods, shoppers will find a “mixture of short dates and just past best before”; as she claimed: “It's all stuff that will last a while though.”;

Emily’s video had also amassed 6,232 likes, 184 comments, 2,001 saves and 4,744 shares.

Social media users were overjoyed by the bargains and many eagerly flocked to the comments to express this.

How to save money on your food shop

Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save hundreds of pounds a year:

Odd boxes – plenty of retailers offer slightly misshapen fruit and veg or surplus food at a discounted price.

Lidl sells five kilos of fruit and veg for just £1.50 through its Waste Not scheme while Aldi shoppers can get Too Good to Go bags which contain £10 worth of all kinds of products for £3.30.

Sainsbury's also sells £2 “Taste Me, Don't Waste Me” fruit and veg boxes to help shoppers reduced food waste and save cash.

Food waste apps – food waste apps work by helping shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses shift stock that is due to go out of date and passing it on to members of the public.

Some of the most notable ones include Too Good to Go and Olio.

Too Good to Go's app is free to sign up to and is used by millions of people across the UK, letting users buy food at a discount.

Olio works similarly, except users can collect both food and other household items for free from neighbours and businesses.

Yellow sticker bargains – yellow sticker bargains, sometimes orange and red in certain supermarkets, are a great way of getting food on the cheap.

But what time to head out to get the best deals varies depending on the retailer. You can see the best times for each supermarket here.

Super cheap bargains – sign up to bargain hunter Facebook groups like Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK where shoppers regularly post hauls they've found on the cheap, including food finds.

“Downshift” – you will almost always save money going for a supermarket's own-brand economy lines rather than premium brands.

The move to lower-tier ranges, also known as “downshifting” and hailed by consumer expert Martin Lewis, could save you hundreds of pounds a year on your food shop.

One person said: “I went yesterday, majority in date, at an absolute bargain. Will deffo be returning. Staff very friendly too!”;

Another added: “Thank you for sharing.”;

A third commented: “Went and it’s very cheap.”;

Meanwhile, someone else asked: “Do you need a membership to go in?”;

To this, Emily confirmed: “Nope it's completely free for everyone.”;
