I’ve found the UK’s cheapest supermarket & it’s NOT Lidl or Aldi – I can get beauty essentials & a food shop for pennies

IT seems that every shopper in the UK is constantly on a mission to make sure their weekly food shop is as cheap as it possibly could be. 

And with the major supermarkets all going head to head with each other with their discounts, it can be difficult to know which one is actually better for your pockets.

However, one shopper believes she may have discovered the UK’s cheapest supermarket – and it’s not Alid or Lidl. 

Jo, who regularly posts her bargain finds on her TikTok page ‘Exploring with Jo,’ found a supermarket which sells meat, cooking ingredients and even beauty products for a seriously cheap price. 

She headed to the Company Shop Group, which sold food items from other supermarkets including Tesco’s. 

Their website says they aim to help “reduce waste” and “deliver financial benefits” as they are a surplus supermarket. 

It also says: “As the UK’s leading redistributor of surplus stock, we’ve got 14 stores nationwide with a wide variety of surplus items to choose from, including excess stocks, product trials, and seasonal lines. 

“We work directly with manufacturers and retailers to secure surplus stock, ensuring you have access to top-notch products and brands at unbeatable prices.

“We check thousands of prices every week so you can save over 50 per cent off your weekly shop. 

“Get ready to slash your grocery bills and join our exclusive community of savvy shoppers who are passionate about saving money and reducing food waste.”

Jo filmed her shopping haul which showed her picking her Heinz spaghetti hoops for 60p,  Tesco’s chicken thighs for £2.59, a batch of Muller Lights for £2.40, 250g cherry tomatoes for 90p, WKD for 85p, and foundation and concealer for £1.50.

All you need to do is become a member of the store, which Jo did for free. 

People who are entitled to membership include those who work in Care Services, NHS, emergency services, British Armed Forces and registered charities. 

Her video of her shopping haul has since gone viral, with over two millions views and many rushing to the comments section to share their thoughts. 

A number of shoppers simply expressed their “love” for The Company Shop.

One added: “I love The Company Shops. Tried showing the Fiance. Then there were only bad things left. So he doesn’t get the hype.”

Another question Jo on the amount of items you can have, by writing: “(I) Thought the company shop was only six items per customer.”

Jo replied: “Six items for each product.”

They currently have stores in Grimsby, Middleton, Edinburgh, Dudley, Leicester, Corby, Darlington, Bradford, Southampton, Long Eaton, Renfrew, Washington, and Wentworth.
