How to save money at Iceland
IF you're looking to save money on your next shop, it's worth snapping up certain items.
That's according to shopping expert Andy Barr, who previously told The Sun to look out for big-name brands and dupes where you can make decent savings.
That means buying products that you can snap up from chains such as Greggs and TGI Fridays but for much less.
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they've been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you'll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you'll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching "finest" or "luxury" products and instead going for "own" or value" type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they're misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you're on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
He also said it's worth keeping an eye out for frozen meat and ice cream.
It's worth signing up for Iceland's Bonus Card loyalty scheme as well.
Aldi still has some popular McDonald's dupes mums love the Aldi 12 chicken nuggets with sweet chilli and BBQ dip which pairs well with the two takeaway still french fries.
While a McDonald's Happy Meal retails at £3.49, Aldi's replica costs just £3.50 for two people - meaning it costs just £1.25 each
