IT can be expensive getting enough food for Christmas – especially when boxes of the viral chocolates cost £5 a pop.

But one woman has shown how she got a huge feast of festive food and snacks for just £15 from Sainsbury's.

Lisa took to TikTok to share a video explaining how she'd managed to save herself loads on her Christmas haul.

"This just shows that shopping at Sainsbury's all year is a benefit," she said.

"I got all of this shopping today for £15.

"There was also a £6 Barbie book with this and a box of wine gums that my mum took out of the bag."

Lisa said that she'd collected £50 in Nectar points.

And thanks to the current scheme in Sainsbury's, she was able to double that to have £100 in points.

"And obviously Sainsbury's price matching Aldi a lot of the minute, so it's not that expensive anymore," Lisa added.

The total of her shopping was £115 – meaning she only had to shell out £15 on top of the points.

In the caption of the video, Lisa added: "Shopping at Sainsbury’s weekly doesn't cost me more than using other supermarkets as they are price matching Aldi on so much and we buy a lot of Sainsburys own brand.

"And it gives me Nectar points, which just allowed me to get all this free."

Given that Lisa has a daughter with her other half, it's safe to estimate that their Christmas haul would be for around a family of five size.

And other people in the comments section revealed that they'd enjoyed similar savings thanks to the new Nectar double up scheme.

"I got £73 worth of shopping and only paid £13 thanks to this today!" one wrote.

"Ahh that's amazing," Lisa replied.

"Wait a damn min… i have about £50 on mine too," another said.

"Ohhhh look on the Nectar app see if it offers the double up," Lisa said.

But a third questioned: "Why this not showing for us all?

"I think it’s really unfair that some get others don’t @Sainsbury’s!"

"The double up is not on all nectar accounts," someone else wrote.

To double up, you need to have a minimum of 2,000 points, Lisa said.

You can then go to the app and see if you are able to convert the points to vouchers between 15 and 24th November.

The vouchers can then be used up until 15th December.

There's also another scheme running – as someone else commented: "I got the countdown to Christmas, for every 300 points I earn, they boost it by 1000."
