A student has shared her £10 shopping list that keeps her fed for a whole week when money is tight. Mia Munro, from Leeds, says she can do a weekly shop for just £10 at ASDA and has shared her shopping list to help others save money.
She said: "If it's coming to the end of the month and I'm really starting to count the pennies, I have a go-to £10 shopping list that'll keep me well-fed for a week. It's definitely not how I'd want to shop all the time, but for the odd month when I'm short on cash, it's a real lifesaver".

"For lunch, I make sandwiches with it, alongside wholemeal bread (45p), and mayo (79p). And I also sometimes serve it with a Jacket Potato (70p) and Mayo as well".
Mia buys a four-pack of Jacket Potatoes for 70p, and she explains: "You can't beat a jacket potato, and I'll either have them with the chicken, or just keep it simple with a tin of spaghetti hoops (19p)."
To round out her weekly meal plan Mia adds: "The Just Essentials Instant Noodles are a great easy option that keep me within my £10 budget. They're
