Claire Scowen-Gibbs, 31, had exactly two minutes to fill her trolley with groceries after winning our competition to mark the opening of the new Asda Wal-Mart superstore in the Eastgate centre, Basildon.

Furniture saleswoman Claire, of Wickham Place, Pitsea, decided to head for the toiletries aisle, throwing all sorts into her trolley.

She also picked up toilet rolls, washing powder and other goodies, reaching a final shopping total of £181.78.

Catching her breath, Claire said: "That is my exercise done for the year!"
