Thrifty mum reveals how you can bag a free box of sanitary products from Morrisons with ‘secret’ codeword

IF you're buying a fresh pack of tampons and sanitary towels every months, there's no denying that the price of your period can rack up pretty quickly.

In fact, a 2019 study found that the average woman spends an average of £5,000 on menstrual products in her lifetime - which is why shoppers are raving about the generous policy in selected Morrisons stores.

Savvy shopper Holly Smith - who is mortgage-free at the age of 35 thanks to her budget hacks - alerted her 489,000 to Morrisons period product boxes yesterday.

Earlier this week, Holly spotted a sign outside a Morrisons store going viral on the which told customers who couldn't afford menstrual products to "Ask for Sandy".

She explained: "The sign states that if you are struggling to afford sanitary products, [then] go up to the customer services desk and ask for a package Sandy has left you.

"And then one of the customer services team will hand you a package which is full of sanitary products."

Holly added: "So if you or someone you know is struggling to afford period products, let them know about this.

"And well done Morrisons - I hope the other supermarkets follow suit."

However, a Morrisons spokesperson confirmed that the boxes are not available in all stores.

The video racked up over 48,000 'likes' in less than 14 hours - and people in the comments urged shoppers who can afford period products to not to abuse the system.

One replied: "Every shop needs to do this, it is 100% needed."

Another added: "As a man, this is amazing - but why didn't they do it sooner??"

"Amazing. I hope no one takes advantage," a third said. "Leave them for those who can't afford it!"
