WE all love a good bargain but one shopper took savings to extremes after noticing big reductions at a popular supermaket.
The bargain hunter filled their trolley to the brim with marked down groceries, frustrating others.

With the rise in the cost of living, we’re all on the hunt for the best deals we can nab.
From Christmas shopping to day-to-day offers, it’s important to look for the best value for your money.
And now, you can stock up your freezer ahead of the festive season with these grocery buys.
Food items such as frozen pizzas and other ready meals were reduced as part of a recent sale at Asda.
One shopper shared their extensive haul in a post on the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK.
Grocery haul
The bargain enthusiast thank “the lady that posted” about the grocery reductions.
Sharing an image of their trolley, the poster revealed they picked up 17 packs of mince at just £1.31 each.
The Asda customer also nabbed 20 burger packs at just 52p and 21 frozen pizzas for 37p each.
While the Facebook user explained that the sale was a “massive help” for their family of five, not everyone was impressed with the haul.
Mixed reactions
“Did you leave some for everyone else?” asked another bargain hunter in the comments section of the post.
“See I couldn’t take the lot, I’d feel guilty all day,” agreed another commenter.
A third person joked that the shopper had “cleared the shelves”.
However, others commended the parent for stocking up while they had the chance.
“Cost of living these days, I don’t blame them,” pointed out one shopper.
“Family of five have to look after themselves first in this economy,” wrote another person.
How to save at Asda
Shop the budget range
Savvy shopper Eilish Stout-Cairns recommends that shoppers grab items from Asda’s Just Essentials range.
She said: “Asda’s budget range is easy to spot as it’s bright yellow! Keep your eyes peeled for yellow and you’ll find their Just Essentials range.
“It’s great value and I’ve found it has a much wider selection of budget items compared to other supermarkets.
Sign up to Asda Rewards
The savvy-saver also presses on the importance of signing up to Asda’s reward scheme.
She said: “Asda Rewards is free to join and if you shop at Asda you should absolutely sign up.
“As an Asda Rewards member, you’ll get exclusive discounts and offers, and you’ll also be able to earn 10% cashback on Star Products.
“This will go straight into your cashpot, and once you’ve earned at least £1, you can transfer the money in your cashpot into ASDA vouchers.
We’ve previously rounded up the best supermarket loyalty schemes – including the ones that will save you the most money.
Look out for booze deals
Eilish always suggests that shoppers looking to buy booze look out for bargain deals.
She said: “Asda often has an alcohol offer on: buy six bottles and save 25%.
“The offer includes selected bottles with red, white and rose options, as well as prosecco. There are usually lots of popular bottles included, for example, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot and Freixenet Prosecco D.O.C.
“Obviously, the more expensive the bottles you choose, the more you save.”
Join Facebook groups
The savvy saver also recommends that fans of Asda join Facebook groups to keep in the know about the latest bargains in-store.
Eilish said: “I recommend joining the Latest Deals Facebook Group to find out about the latest deals and new launches in store.
“Every day, more than 250,000 deal hunters share their latest bargain finds and new releases.
“For example, recently a member shared a picture of Asda’s new Barbie range spotted in store.
“Another member shared the bargain outdoor plants she picked up, including roses for 47p, blackcurrant bushes for 14p and topiary trees for 14p.”
A third person commended the poster on a “brilliant find”.
