Amy, a food fan from Dudley, regularly visits The Company Shop, and often shows off her haul of cheap groceries online.
Posting on social media, Amy showed off her bargain buys and explained: “This morning I went to The Company Shop and I got some really good deals, some of the stuff was even free. I only found out at the checkout.”
Amy managed to get her hands on a large selection of pre-prepared fruit from M&S, including three packs of fruit kebabs, two packs of pomegranate rubies and more.
Amy beamed: “All fruit was 50p today, along with the vegetables too.”
Not only this, but Amy also got her hands on mango pots and packs of tenderstem broccoli and carrots for free, whilst the apple pots were just 50p.
Amy stocked up on berry medley packs and punnets of strawberries, which Amy described as “perfect for lunch boxes”, all of which were just 50p each.
These were £1 each so I picked up six, as it’s six maximum per customer
