Shoppers are loving a salad box hack that gets you cheap cheese at Morrisons

A SAVVY shopper has shared a Morrisons shopping hack that lets you get cheese extra cheap.

You need to be in a Morrison’s that has a salad bar, and keep an eye out for when there are half price deals.

Clever cheese hack means you can get your cheddar at discount salad bar prices

When that happens you choose one of the large salad boxes and stuff it full of cheese.

That means you’ll only be paying £1.87 for as much cheese as you can stuff in the bowl.

Jo posted the hack in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group saying: “Half price large salad boxes at morrisons £1.87 so I filled mine with cheese.”

Other shoppers loved the hack, which has had over 6.4 thousand likes and over 1.9 thousand comments so far.

Most people thought it was a brilliant idea. For instance, George said: “cheap cheese, love the idea!”.

However, some felt like Jo could have squeezed more cheese in to get an ever better bargain.

Plenty of other shoppers have tried similar hacks

Diane said: “Anyone else thinking they could squeeze more in?”

Other people said they’d used the same hack to buy other high value items on the salad bar.

Jess said: “I filled mine with more expensive things like the beetroot pickle and coleslaw- thought I had a bargain! Clearly not!”

And Elise added: “I do the same but with olives.”

Whether you’ll truly get a bargain, depends on how much cheese you can fit into the container.

For instance, morrisons charges £1.90 for an ordinary block of cheddar weighing 250g.

That means you need to get that much cheese in your salad box to make it cheaper than buying the normal way.
