M&S food product that costs shoppers less than in Morrisons, ASDA, Tesco and Aldi

Shoppers have expressed their surprise after finding out that one of their favourite foods were cheaper at Marks & Spencer than other major supermarkets.

Despite the shop having a reputation for selling expensive food, TikToker Mafnetworkinglifestyle made jaws drop this week when she showed a pack of M&S 'Remarksable Value' High Welfare Chicken leg portions at £1.20 for a 750g pack.

She said: "Don't let anybody deceive you that Marks and Spencer's is expensive"

"I mean where can you find chicken for £1.30, even in Morrisons they are like £3."

The video, which has been viewed more than 680,000 times since being uploaded to the site on Tuesday (October 25), has seen many people leave comments in disbelief - with some refusing to believe her.

One TikTok user wrote: "Nobody is fooling me. Marks is most definitely expensive,"

Others however said they had recently had the same revelation, particularly if shoppers "use M&S wisely."

And a comparison by MyLondon between the product and similar items available at other supermarkets shows the M&S chicken is indeed cheaper than at least four other major supermarkets.

Morrisons British Chicken Thighs currently costs £2.89 per kilogram, meaning comparable quantity would cost £2.17 - 97p more expensive than M&S.

ASDA's Succulent Chicken Leg Quarters meanwhile come in at £2.09 per kilogram, so the same quantity would cost £1.57 - 37p more expensive than M&S.

An estimated quantity of Tesco British Chicken Legs would be 38p more expensive than M&S ones, at £2.10 for a kilogram or £1.58 for 750g.

Even budget favourite Aldi's Ashfields 100% British Fresh Class A Chicken Legs are £1.99 for a kilogram, so the same quantity would be £1.49.

The only chicken legs which came in cheaper from the newspaper's analysis appeared to be those at Lidl, the supermarket's Strathvale Scottish Chicken Legs, which were £1.69 per kilogram.

This would be £1.27 for the equivalent quantity sold at M&S - making it 3p cheaper.
