Proud mum nabs enough food to fill her freezer for £12, but trolls say it’s ‘rubbish’ they ‘wouldn’t feed to their dogs’
A PROUD mum has attracted cruel comments from trolls after showing off her epic frozen food haul.
Celine began her TikTok video by telling viewers “this is a bargain!” as she went through the bits she’d picked up.
First was a Margherita pizza, followed by a pack of four chicken burgers, two battered fish fillets, two cheese and ham chicken kievs and eight fish fingers.
She also got two packs of 12 chicken dippers, another pack of chicken burgers and some potato letters.
In terms of non-frozen food bits, she picked up a pack of caramel iced coffee sachets, and a multi-pack of Peppa Pig chocolate chip cookies in Farmfoods.
“How amazing is that?” she marvelled.
“I’d say if I’d got all that from Tesco, it would have cost me around £20 or £25.
“So get yourself to Farmfoods!”
She also revealed that eight of the items in the haul were in the store’s eight for £10 deal.
“£12 for these, BARGAIN!” Celine captioned the video.
But not everyone was impressed by the haul, with one writing: “How’s that a bargain when it processed food…..NOT FOR ME!”
“All processed rubbish – I call it plastic food,” another added.
“You was robbed, all crap,” a third raged.
“Processed rubbish, that’s not proper food, it’s crap,” someone else sighed.
“Wouldn’t feed it to my dogs never mind my kids!”
“Filth the lot of it, ultra processed! Feed your kids better!” another added.
“All processed & reformed crap…mmmmm,” someone else said sarcastically.
But others hit back at the trolls, with one writing: “Why are people so judgemental that it’s processed food?
“As long as the family are fed it’s no-one’s business.”
“I don’t get why people start judging,” another mused.
“I cook from scratch but I still love getting frozen food because it tastes b**ody beautiful.”
Ways to spend less in a supermarket
Grocery inflation means we're all feeling the pinch but shopping with these points in mind could save you hundreds of pounds a year:
- Avoid shopping at convenience stores – they charge more
- Ask in-store at what times in the day are fresh food items reduced
- Freeze yellow sticker items where you can
- Plan meals ahead
- Try own-label of budget brand alternatives
- Use unit pricings to find the best deals

“Half the people commenting saying it’s processed, bet they’ve got processed food in their fridges etc and don’t even realise,” someone else said.
“So worry about yourselves!”
“I was brought up on home cooked meals and frozen supermarket,” another wrote.
“Nothing wrong with it as long.
“As you are fed and healthy what is the problem?”
And others said they’d be heading to their nearest store to stock up ahead of the six-week summer holidays.
“Great for the school holidays,” one wrote.
“That’s amazing!” another added.
“We all need these foods especially for the summer hols! all the judgey people scroll on!”
“Absolute bargain!” a third raved.
“Handy for people who doesn’t have much money and have kids to feed, especially during the 6 week holidays.
“Ideal for picky teas.”
“Thanks for sharing this. I’m going to Farmfoods tomorrow now,” someone else insisted.
“I got these today, literally filled my freezer, from Asda,” another said.
“They have an offer 4 items for a fiver so I got 12 teas for £15 and got a few extras such as juice, toilet roll etc for £30.”
