<\/p>\nMARTIN Lewis has revealed a discount shop where you can get household favourites for just pennies.<\/p>\n
Approved Food is an online retailer specialising in food that is nearing its "best-before" date but is still perfectly good to eat.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The website lists more than 2,000 products including big brands such as Cadbury, Hellmans and Walkers all at heavily discounted prices.<\/p>\n
Approved Food states on its website that it specialises in "surplus and short-dated stock and food that is either near or just passed its best-before date".<\/p>\n
It claims that regular customers can save around \u00a360 by shopping on its website compared to regular high street prices.<\/p>\n
It is important to note that nothing is sold over its "use by" which is the date foods must be consumed.<\/p>\n
You should never consume foods after their use-by date as this could make you very ill.<\/p>\n Best-before dates give an idea of how long foods will last before the quality of the product is compromised, but usually, the items are still perfectly good to eat.<\/p>\n With it being an online shop there are some delivery charges to be taken into account.<\/p>\n Delivery starts from \u00a33 for one box of up to 25kg of shopping and there is a minimum order spend of \u00a322.50.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n As you add items to your basket, a helpful tracker shows you how much the order will weigh so that you can make the most out of your delivery.<\/p>\n At the moment customers can save an extra 10% off everything on orders totalling \u00a322.50 or more, using MoneySavingExpert code SEPTMSE.<\/p>\n This means that a pack of Walkers Wotsits really cheesy 22.5g bag currently costing 10p will be 9p with the code.<\/p>\n Other branded items available on the site at the time we checked include Hellmans Vegan Chipotle Mayo (270g) at \u00a31.75.<\/p>\n The same mayo is selling in Waitrose for \u00a32.80 and Morrisons for \u00a32.60, according to the online price comparison site Trolley.co.uk.<\/p>\n Also on offer is a bag of Walkers Sensations roasted chicken and thyme (150g) at just 50p.<\/p>\n These Walkers crisps are currently retailing in Morrisons for \u00a31.75 and Asda for \u00a32.50.<\/p>\n This means buying these crisps on Approved food could save you \u00a32 per packet at the moment.<\/p>\n Cans of Diet Coke (330ml) are currently priced at 25p each on the Approved Food website.<\/p>\n When we checked the same size of Diet Coke is retailing for \u00a31 on Tesco's website.<\/p>\n As you can see by our comparisons there are some good savings to be had shopping on the website, but do bear in mind prices change all the time.<\/p>\n It is also worth remembering that the stock does have a high turnover due to the nature of the business, so what is available will vary.<\/p>\n While we can give comparisons it is worth shopping around yourself to make sure you are getting the cheapest deal.<\/p>\n There are other ways to shop for food that is perfectly good to eat but that would otherwise be put in the bin.<\/p>\n Too Good to Go\u00a0is an app that allows you to rescue end-of-day food from many popular cafes, restaurants, shops and supermarkets.<\/p>\n All you need to do is download and set your location on the Too Good To Go app and you can choose from nearby stores listing their unsold food at a reduced price.<\/p>\n It is a bit of pot luck as you cannot choose what items you get as it is just whatever is left over at the end of the day.<\/p>\n Karma is similar to Too Good To Go, you can search for nearby food to pick up based on your location through the Karma app.<\/p>\n You can then purchase meals at discounted prices.<\/p>\n However, unlike Too Good To Go, Karma will tell you what food you are getting, so there is even less chance of it going to waste.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/frontage-brand-logo-branch-german-840821780-7.jpg\"){kind=logo}
