You can often save up to 75% on items with yellow stickers – they are reduced so supermarkets can shift stock quickly.
More and more shoppers are starting to look out for the famous yellow stickers when they’re out and about, as they look to combat the cost of living that puts pressure on budgets.
It was revealed that post-Covid households have been warned that grocery bills have risen by £271 a year.
Figures show that the price of some essential items has risen by 37 percent.
An ex-Morrisons employee dubbed ‘Yellow Sticker Man’ previously shared his secrets to getting the best deals every time.
Al Baker, 48, from Aldershot, worked in the supermarket for just over two years and was responsible for driving down the price of food nearing its sell-by date.
His top tips for perfecting your bargain hunt include choosing the right time, going as a group and even using a special app called Too Good To Go.
The amazing app allows shoppers to get ridiculous deals.
The app works by letting stores list surplus food that would only be thrown away at heavily discounted prices.
You can purchase a “mystery bag” of treats, which usually contains staples such as fruits, vegetables, and bread.
Al said: “It’s a good way to save money, but it’s popular so you have to act quickly to get them.”
