The 27-year-old actress from Newcastle insisted to consumer site LatestDeals.co.uk the items were cheaper than in rival supermarkets.
Her shopping list’s must-have food options include pesto pasta, porridge with jam and a jacket potato with baked beans.
She told the site: “When it’s close to the end of the month or I need to cut back due to unexpected costs cropping up, I use this shopping list to keep my grocery spend in check.
“It’s great because I can stock up on essential items and still snack between meals if I get peckish – but I’m spending less than £15 per week.”
She told how her nearest store was an Asda one and their Just Essentials range seems to “work best” for her, including porridge oats costing 90p for 1kg and lasting a fortnight.
She also adds protein with 15 eggs priced at £1.99, offering the potential of egg on toast or else veggie omelettes – while other lunchtime favourites include soup or a jacket potato.
Treats her budget go-to menu still permits include ready salted crisps and ginger nut biscuits.
She added:: “By weaving super-cheap items into your shopping list, you can afford to budget for more expensive items so you’re eating decent, filling meals.”

The website’s co-founder Tom Church praised her coming up with “a super low-cost shopping list which anyone can replicate to save month themselves”.
Comments in response included “Good for her” – but there were also complaints Asda’s Just Essentials options were not always available.
Meanwhile, home cooks have been advised on various “lazy food hacks” including one to help jazz up a 90p Asda pizza.
Another shopper has told of the three things he always adds to his trolley at Iceland and why that never includes pasta.
Others have recommended Waitrose as a potentially-surprising option for bagging a pack of biscuits and coffee for just 30p.
Readers of The Sun have also been recommended lesser-known loyalty schemes where you can get free food, coffee and petrol.
