This programme coupled with THAT voiceover is how we know 100% Britain is in a recession - the news just won’t say it yet.

We have saved so much money shopping around at different discount stores! We really appreciate everything they do to keep prices low!

I've got nothing but praise for those that can undercut the supermarkets and offers bargains like this, it benefits both buyer and seller and the supermarkets will still survive because of their size.

They aren't always cheaper.. check the price because some of the products are actually smaller so cost per 100g etc can be more expensive in these stores

I've found discount companies sell more juke food such as crisp chocolates biscuits than they sell wholesome such as tinned pulses etc.

I miss poundworld and am surprised to see it is now one beyond! Please open one in speke Liverpool. Haha 😄 would be in there all the time. My family loved that shop.

People need to learn how to cook pulses and grains. Lentils, chickpeas, butter beans can be added to basic stews with some vegetables you can throw in leftover meats - for example I shred roast chicken and add it to soups and stews or make wraps. I always have frozen vegetables like broccoli/green beans and mixed veg in the freezer. It has become very expensive to buy food, but there are ways to cut costs.

Forget the woffle!
All you need to know is that their profits have never been so high which is mirrored by their stock market price.

Best to try and find old school markets for fresh seasonal vegetables

Just checked one and beyond prices for food it doesn’t seem any better than your home bargains and Aldi

When things are much cheaper we end up buying more, in the end we spend more than we would normally, often buying things we don't use/eat. So cheaper often means more waste.

One beyond is a good shop but I've been multiple times with the best cheap 59p cat meat always gone, I said to the manager surely because its a best seller you should order more, only to be told that they're only allowed to order two cases at a time, losing loads of money and custom there.

Eve been so ill with food lately I ran only eat food I make from scratch. When I found out what was in my simple brands like a so called "store baked"load I stopped eating them and make my own bread rolls...the additives have been making me sick. Morison and Lidl baked goods come from Poland factory-made really cheap frozen half baked and finished in store

Pound stores originally were short lease shops, and they would be gone after a few years. Now were tripping over items in stores now!.

4 locally made donuts £5.
4 imported Spanish donuts £1.50.
So it's cheaper to fly them here rather than make them here, make it make sense.
It should be the opposite way around.
