As the cost-of-living squeeze continues to affect many, supermarkets say they’re doing what they can to help us save money, offering discounts and promotions. But just how good are these deals?

As the cost-of-living squeeze continues to affect many, supermarkets say they’re doing what they can to help us save money, offering discounts and promotions. But just how good are these deals? Michelle Ackerley investigates whether some supermarkets are being good to their word, with claims of matching the prices of discounters like Aldi and packaging that seems to disguise the true size of goods. She reveals how some dog food hasn’t got much meat in it, some coconut milk has little coconut in it, and some chicken nuggets don’t have much chicken in them at all.
