The clever mum from Birmingham explained how she enjoys her favourite dishes at Maccies and satisfies her appetite without spending a fortune, leaving many open-mouthed.
In a social media post, the foodie explained that she buys McDonald’s stock from The Company Shop and Heron Foods and cooks at home, saving her a lot of money.
In a short clip shared with the caption “This is where I buy my McDonald’s shares,” the mother took her followers inside the Company Shop and claimed: “Yes, all the shares I’m showing you are actually McDonald’s shares – the Company Shop sources the shares directly from McDonald’s.”
Not only did she find 5-pound bags of 20 iconic Apple Cakes costing just 25p each, 94p cheaper than an apple pie straight from McDonald’s, but she also spotted Camembert cheese bites costing £2 per 1kg bag.

In addition, the mum found a 2.4kg bag of chips for just £2.50 and a 1kg bag of Chicken Selects which cost just £4.
The mother explained that not only can you get many of the classic McDonald’s dishes there, but also seasonal dishes and sauces.
The mother then claimed: “The remaining stock will be sold to The Company Shop – and the best part is that it will be sold at a much cheaper price.”
The content creator then went to Heron Foods, another chain with a great frozen food section.
The foodie not only found chicken nuggets, but also stocked up on hash browns – a McDonald’s breakfast staple.
The bargain hunter praised Heron Foods’ XSELL range, adding: “Heron’s XSELL range is where a lot of big companies sell seasonal items that they no longer need, or items that don’t meet a certain weight or maybe even have a slightly odd shape. McDonald’s is one of those companies.”
Regarding the chicken nuggets, she said: “You can tell they’re from McDonald’s because they have the same shape that McDonald’s uses for its nuggets.”
