A TikToker has revealed when you should head to Morrisons to get the best discounts on food, and where to look. Heidi Ondrak, known as the Duchess of thrift on social media, knows a thing or two about getting a deal after over 30 years of bargain hunting.

The 51-year-old project manager from Plymouth, Devon, shares “skint mum tips” with her 18k social media followers, at @duchessofthrift, to help others survive the cost of living crisis. In her latest video she reveals when and where she shops for “bargain bucket” food.
