A student has reduced the price of her food shopping from £100 down to £18 by using smartphone apps which have helped her find bargains. Mia Munro has managed to save £82 by shopping through Too Good To Go and Olio - apps set up to reduce costs as well as food waste.
The savvy 20-year-old says she first began looking for bargains around four years ago at the age of when she obtained an NUS Apprentice Card and got access to various discounts at a variety of stores. But Mia has found her passion for travelling is difficult to fund as a student and therefore needs to save money in other areas, such as on food shopping.
Mia said: "I first started getting into bargain hunting when I was around 16 and I received my first wage. As an apprentice, I bought an NUS Apprentice Card which allowed me to get discounts on loads of stores. This is when I began deal hunting in earnest.
