In the clip, the mum sat outside the car park of her local Morrison's store as she shared her hack.
And while many assume closing time prices were better, the mum urged people to try a different time and a specific day.
She said: "We've been keeping a little secret because we like saving money."
"Everyone that we tell is like, 'Oh my God, that's incredible.'"
The mum and her partner said that on a Sunday they head down to Morrison's and wait for the store to open.
She then races towards the 'whoopsie fridge', a place where products that have been slashed in price are put.
Inside, there's a whole host of goodies to grab on a budget.
She added: "Everything is reduced by 90% more or less. Now my fridge is full, I have meal plans done and it costs us 22 quid."
When she got back home, she shared her massive haul of goodies.
The mum was able to find a pack of six chicken breasts reduced to £1.30, yoghurts, fish, pork, ribeye steaks, cod fillets, sausages, burgers, lamb kofta, fruit, fish pie and prawns.
I tried the new picnic range from M&S - the £3.50 dip everyone needs to try
She revealed that the shop should have cost her £111 but she got it for just £22.
The mum planned to put the meat in the freezer to make sure it lasted and was happy to share her hack.
The clip went viral on her TikTok account @hiltontraveltales with over 154k views and 4,000 likes.
People were quick to thank her in the comments.
One person wrote: "I do this and freeze it, I save so much."

I can't be the only one who walks without headphones
Every morning I take the same silly little mental health walk with my dog Bonnie, who cancels out any discernible benefit with her barking. Recently we've been trying to change it up by looping around the science park instead of going to the riverside. Sometimes we wander towards the centre of Dundee. Other times we check out the seafront. No matter the route, I'm in the minority of urban walkers who don't wear headphones. I have no interest in leaving the house wearing headphones. I want to tune into my surroundings, not cancel them out. This is my precious hour of no screen time, of being totally disconnected from technology. For one hour — just one — I am the city's active listener. It is hard to romanticise the experience. Round where I live the sounds are the thunder of buses, the keening of gulls and the bleeping of the Charleston roundabout traffic lights. I have tried to find harmony in layers of lorries, searching for hidden notes buried in the gloom. The one word I keep coming back to is 'noisy'. For posterity I try again with the headphones. See, that's no good. Drowning out the city means I miss all the things I go out for, as if my brain needs auditory clues to hold on to treasure. Earbuds ejected, my eyes catch on chamomile at the roadside, flowerheads tilted to the sky like satellites. Straight ahead I find a feather the same colour as an oil slick. Underfoot the pavement is speckled with chewing gum like confetti. This is the trade-off for living alongside other people. You can choose to be part of it — to open your ears and eyes to the world, really go all in — or you can choose to be out. And I choose to be in, even if wandering by the dual carriageway means I come home wildly overstimulated. Even if Bonnie's barking rises to a crescendo with all the commotion. Can the sounds of the city be art? I think so. A few weeks ago I bumped into an old friend at a festival in Edinburgh and he told me he designs audio for one of the world's biggest video game makers. His job is to record the sounds of a city and apply them to software. He refuses to use AI, instead working out how to capture the real noises within. • Meet Velvet Sundown, Spotify's hottest new band. But are they real? Each city is different, he told me. He's working on Miami right now. I'm taken by the idea of it having its own soundscape quite unlike other Florida cities, say Tampa or Orlando. In my head my friend sneaks around after hours with a tape recorder, trapping the hiss of a school bus's brakes or the chirrups from Raccoon Island. It makes me think how my favourite cities might be distilled in this way. Edinburgh is footsteps on cobbles, wind whistling past Georgian pediments, spring chatter on the Meadows. Glasgow the low rumble of the subway, the clang of the last orders' bell, the background hum of machinery. Copenhagen the whicker of bicycle wheels in motion. Paris the jingling of coins in a pocket. I'm sure a clever person can do the same for the country, discerning location by cuckoo call or farming technique. But to me all rural places sound the same. I wouldn't know where to start with all that quiet. A city is much more knowable, a chicane with voices and engines in its bends. There's even peace if you know where to look. Last autumn in Tokyo I went to the famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing, a chaotic medley of zebra crossings capable of handling 3,000 pedestrians at a time. Or 2,999 when I walked on its huge barcodes. All around me the city swelled and rushed like waves breaking on the shore. Ahead, neon adverts for Asahi beer threatened to tip me into sensory overload. After the crossing I walked for a couple of blocks, took a left and then a right through the residential neighbourhoods. I found a play park and sat down opposite a row of dark-leafed maples. The blocks of flats and the trees absorbed practically everything. All I could hear was birdsong, if only I knew how to identify it. The paucity of noise felt just as Tokyo as the traffic. Back home I go out without headphones and notice again that everyone else has theirs. Sure, it limits your exposure to Bonnie's barking. For this I can't blame them. But sometimes, very early in the morning, it feels as if the city has forgotten to tidy up its nighttime sounds. Generators hum. Mechanised street cleaners churn. A plane stutters through the sky. Off I go scooping them up, breadcrumbs laid out especially for me. @palebackwriter Brian d'Souza, aka the DJ Auntie Flo, has spent the past five years using plant bio data to trigger notes on a custom synthesizer and create songs.

Ricky Hatton puts incredible five bed mansion with spa and cinema up for sale for £1.85m as he comes out of retirement
BOXING legend Ricky Hatton's impressive home is up for sale and - apart from the purple-walled cinema room - people can't believe how tasteful it is. Hatton 's prestigious residence offers an 'exceptional standard of modern living, combining luxury, comfort and security' within the extensive private grounds. 6 6 The detached five-bedroom six-bathroom abode was built in 2010 and has been 'impeccably designed'. Hatton has decorated the property with a mixture of muted and natural tones, wood, classic colours and pops of colour running throughout. It has an extensive landscaped grounds with greenbelt views, plus a leisure suite with a heated indoor pool and Jacuzzi. The private gym and cinema room complements the games room/bar with a glass wall overlooking the impressive pool. A principal suite has its own dressing room/walk-in closet and deluxe en-suite, crushed velvet chaise longue and dark patterned wallpaper. The decor is a mixture of dark greys and browns. There is a crushed velvet bed with a glass-walled separation into the washroom, which includes a free-standing bath. The property has multiple reception rooms and open-plan living spaces with a high-specification dark-panelled kitchen. Situated in one of the areas most prestigious locations of Gee Cross, Greater Manchester, the estate has advanced security with CCTV and intercom access. The former Dancing On Ice contestant's fans commented: "No where as bad as I though't it'd be, apart from that master bedroom." "I don't 100% hate it. It's quite tasteful," mused a user. A third added: "My takeaway from this is that boxers have better taste than footballers. I like it, it's modern without being stark and industrial and still looks like a home as opposed to staged for a photoshoot in Hello! magazine." Ricky Hatton in training for comeback fight "I definitely wasn't ready for the purple cinema room, given everything else is quite muted." "Externally it's a bit 90s Tesco, but internally, it's pretty nice. I'd definitely redecorate, but I like the exposed timber," applauded one pleasantly-surprised fan. "That's lovely. Imagine the BBQs on a summer 's eve," dreamt another. "The mezzanine above the swimming pool reminds me of Robbie Savage's episode of MTV Cribs," recalled a fan. The boxing promoter previously took part in a BBC Comic Relief special called 'This is MY House ' which aired in March of last year. The athlete lives a life of luxury in his stunning mansion which includes a gold dining room and diamante door handles. The 46-year-old legend - who was in Cardiff on Friday night to see his Oasis pals Liam and Noel Gallagher reunite - had his last professional bout in 2012. The City super-fan was walked to the ring by Noel and Liam for his 2008 win over Paulie Malignaggi. The national treasure and advocate on men's mental health was due to fly out to Dubai this week to star in Sunday night's big-money launch press conference. But he suffered an eye injury on his designer sunglasses at the Oasis reunion gig and was not cleared to travel until the injury heals. 6 6 6 6
