A savvy shopper has gone viral on TikTok after challenging herself to live off of just £1 a day shopping at Aldi amid the cost of living crisis. 

Kathryn Leech, 26, from Manchester, wanted to see how difficult it would be to live on a £7 weekly food shop budget, and shared the result in a series of videos online.

The digital media manager pointed out that the tiny budget is something that some people may actually have to live off and found the challenge to be an eye-opening experience.

'It was extremely difficult to make meals with such a small budget, and I had to eat the same thing every day which got incredibly boring,' she admitted. 

Kathryn's supermarket of choice for the challenge was Aldi, and she filled her basket with pasta, frozen sweet corn, tuna, ebay windows 10 bread, kidney beans and tortilla wraps to make a week's worth of meals. 

'With the current cost of living crisis and the constant rising inflation, a lot of people are having to cut back just to get by,' Kathryn said.
