Money savvy shoppers are finding ways to save money on their weekly shop, as the cost of living crisis continues to affect swathes of society. Buying products that have been discounted owing to a shorter shelf life - yellow sticker food - may help keep costs down.
You may have seen shoppers hanging around shopping aisles near the end of the day in the hope of picking up a food bargain. This is because it is common practice for supermarkets to sell off unsold food, nearing its use-by date, at a heavily discounted price at the end of the day.
Seeing a flash of yellow sticker on a supermarket shelf means a real bargain could be on the horizon. There is no set time for yellow sticker foods to be made available to the public. There are however windows of time where yellow sticker food will make an appearance. The window from 1pm to 3pm is a good time to pick up discounted sandwiches or meal deals.
