Money-savvy Aldi shopper shows how far £5 stretches at the 'cheapest supermarket'

A money-savvy Aldi shopper has stunned customers after completing a weekly food shop for just £5. A seemingly impossible task, deals expert Tom Church proved sceptical social media users wrong, stocking up his fridge for a fiver.

The co-founder and chief bargain hunter at Latest Deals headed to Aldi - recently named the cheapest supermarket in the UK for the ninth month in a row - to show shoppers exactly how far their money can stretch when push comes to shove.

Tom took £5 to the discount supermarket and bought all he needed for a weekly shop and explained how much it cost in a TikTok video on the LatestDeals account.

In the clip, Tom whizzed around the supermarket picking up 48p rice, 28p spaghetti, 32p chopped tomatoes and 63p corn flakes. While his shop didn’t include any meat - which often pushes up the price of a weekly shop - it still showed off some of Aldi’s low prices that could help families struggling as inflation hits.

Here’s everything Tom bought in his Aldi shop:

Everyday Essentials Long Grain Rice 1kg - 48p

Everyday Essentials Spaghetti 500g - 28p

Everyday Essentials Penne Pasta 500g - 41p

Everyday Essentials Garden Peas 300g - 24p

Everyday Essentials Chopped Tomatoes 400g - 32p

Sun Quench Double Strength Squash 1.5l - 89p

Everyday Essentials Rice Pudding 400g - 24p

Belmont Custard Creams 300g - 49p

Harvest Morn Corn Flakes 500g - 63p

Everyday Essentials Medium Sliced Wholemeal bread 39p

Cucina Bolognese sauce 500g - 65p

This comes to a total of £5.02 – which people in the comment section struggled to believe.

One person said: "Why so cheap?" while another added: "Man I wish all shops are like this."
