Food price inflation hit a record high in September, and there appears to be no slowing down in the rising cost of the weekly shop. That means it is more important than ever to find ways to cut back where you can in the supermarkets, and consumer rights expert Scott Dixon has been putting together a list of the best times to take advantage of the yellow stickers that offer big savings.
Scott, who runs The Complaints Resolver blog, told the Mirror that the supermarkets place yellow stickers on food when it is typically reaching the end of its shelf life but is still safe to eat. These give up to 75% off products, but knowing when to bag a deal can sometimes be confusing as it varies between stores.
He says that each store starts reducing prices at different times, but Scott has a rough guide for when the yellow stickers are introduced near his home in Edinburgh.
