SAVVY shoppers hailed a “brilliant” store after sharing their cheap food hauls – including chicken breasts for 38p and 10p Haribos.

Budget retailer The Company Shop stocks items from top supermarkets across the country, slashing prices by up to 50%.

Depending on what’s in stock at the time of your visit, you can bag goodies from Asda, M&S and even Waitrose for much cheaper.

Nestlé, Walkers and Dairylea are just some of the well-known brands on offer in store.

And there are even hair and beauty items at your disposal, including TRESemme shampoo and Dove body wash.

But with just 14 stores in the UK – including two in Scotland, Renfrew and Edinburgh – shoppers have already described it as a hidden gem they never realized existed.

Savvy mum Lorna Cooper, from Paisley, popped into her local branch this week and shared the best bargains she found.

Posting in Feed your family for around £20 a weeka public Facebook group with 675,000 followers, the mother-of-three said: “I saw some great bargains at the Company Shop yesterday!

“I resisted buying the chicken because my freezer is almost full, but it took a long time to get through it.”

Lorna shared photos of Pains au chocolat on offer for £1, 1.5kg of potatoes for 60p, roast beef for half price and 454g of sausage for £2.

There was also 1kg of chicken thighs for 99p, 1kg of chicken thighs for £1.45, 1kg of chicken drumsticks reduced to 57p and 75p of Flora butter.

Shoppers can even buy Heinz salad cream (285g), two for 50p, 1kg of fish fingers for £2.75 and a Harry Potter school bag for £3.45.

Others were quick to share the best bargains they found in store.

One of them said: “I once bought bags of Haribos for 10 cents each. 1 kg of chicken breast for 38 cents, bags of 10 mini gingerbread cookies for free.

“I’m currently buying Costa biscuits for almost £2 each at Costa, but 2 for 40p at the Company Shop.

“I just came in today and bought 2 pounds of chicken wings for 75 cents.”

Another person wrote: “The best thing I saw was a huge bag of Whiskas dry food for just £3, my cats are food snobs!

A third wrote: “I went there and bought chicken at the weekend, I didn’t need a freezer, but I can’t leave a bargain and we eat a lot of chicken lol.”

And a fourth chimed in: “5 liter tub of ice cream. £1.”

But a fifth sighed: “My closest is miles away. Good hour and a half away. Wish we had one.”

While a sixth echoed: “Our closest is a 30 minute drive away. I’ve only been once and I definitely plan on going back.”

And it seems some people are still unaware of the store’s existence, as one perplexed social media user asked: “What’s a Company Store? I’m pretty sure we don’t have one.”

“I’ve never heard of this, what company is it?” asked someone else.

“And where can I find him, please?”
