Cajun gravy tubs, usually £1.50, were down to just 20p in the clearance aisle, while Bisto BBQ gravy was down from £3 to 45p.

Looking ahead to Christmas, Elliot also pointed out great deals could be had with toy prices slashed, including activity cases for just £1.
One TikTok follower commented: “Wow I need to go thank you.”
“Ooo I’m off to Morrison’s,” wrote another shopper.
The frugal dad-of-two has previously made headlines for a series of thrifty tips, including how to make bargain meals £1 or less, and where to find the best bargains on any given month.
Last year, his ‘can’t be arsed’ Christmas dinner went viral, with Elliot spending just £6 and 15 minutes on the festive meal.
The Aldi-bought shop included tinned potatoes, tinned vegetables, gravy granules, frozen turkey drummers, frozen sausages, and a bag of Yorkshire puddings – and was largely cooked in the air fryer.
He previously told What’s The Jam: “It only took 15 minutes, whilst with a usual Christmas dinner it takes hours.
“This meal actually tastes good, and I’m not a big fan of turkey anyway, so if someone served me this, I’d be happy.
“It’s just as good as a traditional roast.”
