I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about!

What are 'Whoopsies'? big T?

Whoopsies are reduced products, big T is Tesco, Mr A = Asda etc.
The whoopsies are so named as Asda used to use a yellow sticked with "whoops" on their reduced food.

I heard its when the shift changes so not so much what day but what time. I think it's about eight o'clock PM?

It seems to be very variable, unfortunately. In my local Tesco the best time seems to be Monday morning - there's always loads of reduced stuff and I have to steel myself to stay away on my lunchbreak as otherwise I end up filling up the work fridge, which is barely big enough for all of us anyway!

In Asda it was always Sunday lunchtime, although I haven't been in there for ages so I don't know if that's still the case.

There's never anything much in my Tesco's, but my mum always gets tonnes of bargains in her Tesco's at about 6-8pm on a Saturday night. All kinds of stuff down to between 75-90% off.

I managed to pop to our local big Tesco a couple of weeks ago during lunch, and there were loads of yellow stickers everywhere. I also had to stop myself buying loads as the work fridge is tiny! Did buy pastry treats to share around though.
