UNLIKE rival Aldi, Tesco is not the supermarket most of us would visit when doing grocery shopping on a budget.
But according to savvy shopper Kathryn Leech, better known to her 21.4k fans on TikTok as @katsaves, the retailer offers various items that are cheaper than elsewhere.
Offering a helping hand to cash-strapped Britons, Kathryn chatted exclusively to Fabulous and shared her top tips.
Bar soap
As much as some of us may love liquid soap, Kathryn advised to try switching to bar soap, as it actually lasts six times longer.
''Tesco sells theirs for only 25p, beating Asda at 55p, Sainsbury's at 40p and Aldi who doesn’t even stock it!''
Toothbrushes
After browsing across multiple supermarkets, the money-saving whizz concluded that the cheapest toothbrushes for your pearly whites are stocked in Tesco.

She said: ''You can pick up a twin pack of toothbrushes in Tesco for 25p, far outweighing Waitrose cheapest option at £1, and Aldi’s cheapest at a shocking £1.29!
Frozen Mac ‘n’ Cheese
Sometimes nothing hits the spot quite like a creamy, hearty mac'n'cheese, and if this savoury dish is a firm favourite in your family, best get racing to Tesco, the shopper recommended.
The guru noted: ''At only 85p, Tesco’s frozen Mac ‘N’ Cheese ready meal is a bargain!
''Asda’s version is 90p, Aldi sells theirs at £1.09, and you can get a much smaller portion for £2.45 in Waitrose.''

Green tea bags
Brits love tea – and here your best bet, according to the money-saving pro, is Tesco, where you can pick up a box of 20 green tea bags for 75p.
''The same size box is 80p in Sainsbury's, whereas Asda's’ cheapest are the Twinings branded version at £1.99.''
Kathryn added: ''Once again, Aldi doesn't seem to stock any!''
Washing-up liquid
''It may be surprising to hear that Tesco stock the cheapest 500ml washing-up liquid at only 45p per bottle,'' said Kathryn.
She said that these match Asda’s version which is also 45p, but Aldi stock theirs at 60p and Waitrose sells theirs at 70p.
Bicarbonate of soda
The shopper advised: ''If you’re an avid baker, Tesco is the place to go for your baking essentials!
''Bicarbonate of soda is only 59p, in Aldi it’s 65p, Asda 75p, Sainsburys £1.55 and Waitrose sells theirs for £1.65!''
Kathryn’s top five tips to spend less on food
- Shop your cupboards first! Check what you already have in and build meals around this.
- Make a list! Plan your meals in advance and stick to the list – don’t impulse buy!
- Sign up for all the loyalty cards… literally every single one!
- Shop the reductions, but don’t fall into the trap of buying things you don’t actually need!
- Try the wonky veg option! Most supermarkets stock ‘wonky veg’ and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with them, they just look a little bit ugly!
