She managed to fill up her trolley with 57 items and paid €100 for everything. She called her grocery hall "a brilliant shop" as she explained how she saved money.

"I got loads, in fairness I got an awful lot. My trolley was full to the brim," she said.

"I got loads of meats, got a lot of lunch box fillers, loads of fruit, loads of veg, bit of snacks. I'm thrilled. Absolutely thrilled with this."

The TikToker continued: "All this came to €135 but because I had my two €10 vouchers and my €5 voucher, it came to just over €100.

"I thought that was very good now. I'd be the first to come on and be like, 'they're dirty robbing' but in fairness now for just over €100 I have to give credit where credit is due. I thought that was a brilliant shop."

Shopping list - lunch

Two boxes of innocent smoothies, kids wraps, punnets of apples and oranges, raisins, a packet of teddy bear ham, a packet of Paw Patrol ham, two packets of Dairylea dunkers, snack packs of Tuc, yoghurt covered rice cakes, bananas, two punnets of strawberries, two packets of watermelon slices, Petit Filous drinks and dairy-free yoghurt.

Meals

A box of rice, two bottles of Nando sauce, beans, honey, mayonnaise, passata, chopped tomatoes, peas, pasta, fillet steaks, Irish beef quarter pounders, steak burgers, chicken breasts on the bone, a packet of drumsticks and thighs, chicken wings, Cheerios, low fat milk, skimmed milk, a packet of peppers, Irish little gem lettuce, a bag of chopped carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, spinach, spring onion, broccoli, mushrooms, eggs, Hula Hoops, ham, burger buns, bread, Wagon Wheels, packets of popcorn, teddy bear crisps, teabags and skinny latte sachets.

Her viewers were impressed by her video, as Julie Jay revealed she still has more vouchers to use next time.

One person asked: "That's a great price, did you get another voucher then for spending over €50?"

She responded: "Two more vouchers love".

A second person wrote: "That's brilliant value. I think a lot of people overlook Dunnes and forget their own brand stuff is on par with Aldi/lidl prices".
