The Yellow Stickers !!
Jump to: Newest in thread
The shopping thread made me realise that I usually head for the green basket reduced section in Morrisons first !!
As I eat more or less anything I can then plan my meals around that ..
Also usually pick up bread and a myriad of stuff ( that I would actually eat obviously)
So are you a sucker for a yellow sticker bargain or are you too Posh  |

"Always reduced sections first and then plan around what I find.
Side note, I can’t deal with people who pick something up and find an alternative in the reduced section and doesn’t take it back!"
Totally agree , I go there first too  |

Way, way, way too posh for yellow stickers 
In fact I dislike being around that section when the vultures descend. I don’t refer to all bargain hunters, of course, just the jostling smellies.
I’d rather have the freshest possible food with a few days grace. Just a personal preference.
I have now started online shopping and the pockets are pretty good with that. |

Never manage get any the yellow sticker deals anytime I've went to have a look at that part Mary and her hubby have bashed there shopping trolly into my leg followed by a very fake apology with no eye contact whilst apologising just eyes on the reduced products, tbf I've picked stuff up and left it around the store for this very reason |

I used to love going in Aldi at around 7pm as there'd be tons at 70% off.
Now they've dropped it to 50% and some other bugger always seems to get there first. 
I am, however, addicted to 'Too Good To Go'.
Even the BK at the motorway services near us does it. And Greggs and Costa for sarnies, donuts and cakes.

I always spray my pits before shopping at least  |

I'm so paranoid about upsetting my stomach I won't eat anything that may be on the turn.

I get that although in my job I'm kinda experienced in knowing what's safe |

Yes exactly my way too ...
I've never wasted a thing I've bought reduced and my shopping bill is around 20 quid a week ...
And I eat a lot |

Do you do the sniff test?
When I lost my sense of smell from Covid I got my son to sniff any meat or milk before I used them.
My stomach turns thinking about the smell of off chicken  |

I would rather get fresh food that lasts longer as this household is so unpredictable, it would probably end up being thrown out which wouldn't be great, I'm really glad it's gets reduced and people can make use out of it Instead of the food getting wasted and going to landfill. |

I love the yellow sticker section but wouldn't buy fresh fruit and veg etc unless I needed to use it that day. I'd buy food that can be frozen if it was a good price.
I used to love an M&S visit just before closing time. I used to get so many goodies and sandwiches for next to nothing. 
It's a shame but yellow stickers aren't as good these days, still very pricey most of the time. If my dad was alive he'd be very disappointed. |

I don't go shopping with yellow sticker's in mind but if I find something that id already planned on cooking that day I'll get it instead of paying full price unnecessarily. I don't trust yellow sticker chicken though.

Tesco are the worst. Sometimes I wonder why they bother.
Was '£2.87'. Now reduced to £2.68'
I'll pass thanks.
Asda bakery section at 9pm. Pack of croissants 10p. Four donuts 10p. 24 bread rolls. 10p. Large chocolate cake that serves 20 (aka me)....yep, 10p.

The best you'll get over here is half price. They'd rather throw them out than reduce them any more than that. Greedy fuckers

What a random price! Did you see them start at 10p and hold your nerve for more off? 2p per donut is the bargain of the century!
Although I was leaving (ahem) B&M once on a very sunny day and a couple with a whingeing child had had to buy a four pack of cornettos just to shut the little bastard up. They took one each and offered me the last one!
And, yes, it was about as good as you’d expect… |

Depends what it is but you usually can’t get anywhere near the reduced section at our supermarket for all the vultures pushing into each other, so I don’t bother trying to look most of the time. |

Picked up 2.4 Kg fresh Strawberries from Morrisons Clearance for £9 reduced from £12 early on Saturday morning, by Sunday midday I had turned them into 14 jars of my finest Strawberry jam.
The Clearance bay is the first place I head for every time I visit the supermarket. |
