What food do you refuse to pay full price for?

bramble1

I never buy bread for full price - with OH a loaf only lasts 2 or 3 days, so i always buy reduced ones from waitrose, If the reductions are really good i'll buy 2 or 3 loaves and freeze some (same with low calorie bread as a loaf of that lasts me about 2 months) if not i know that i can nip to waitrose on my way home and get a reduced loaf or rolls for lunches.

I never buy roasting joints (especially beef) unless it's on offer or reduced, or fresh berries for that matter.

So, what, if anything do you only buy at a reduced amount?

There is very little stuff I pay full price for now, Lidl's Olive spread and muffins are the main exceptions and Home Bargain stuff (though I class most of that to be reduced anyway).

I never ever pay full price on toletries, half price at best (which is full price in my eyes).

Sainsburys Pizza's (fresh), my max is 99p and often I get them for 69p and freeze - £3.60 per pizza is just a joke, in fact I rarely if ever now pay full price in Sainsburys, there is always reduced stuff.
Coffee is another, never pay more than half price if possible - I must have a stash to get me to next summer at least.

I won't pay full price for pop. Somewhere has always got an offer on so I just get it where ever is cheapest. (If pop is classed as food...not sure!)

Middy

Coffee - either when Carte Noir or DE is on offer
Cans of Coke Zero/Pepsi Max
Special K - I'm sorry, £3 for a box of cereal is too much. Iceland were discontinuing the Honey Clusters for £1.50, I bought a couple of boxes
Booze - I wait til its half price, part of x for £y etc. If I run out of a spirit, I buy shop brand to tie me over
Toiletries - have to be on offer or in a cheap shop such as Wilkos, B&M etc
Laundry wash liquid
Washing up liquid

easy

Breakfast cereals - My DS (11) is a good eater and gets down a quantity every school morning, so I switch brands/types when offers are on. WEe like chocolate weetabix (either the mini's or the new proper size ones), but I think full price is horrendous. Bought up stock last time they were on offer.

Same with the rice krispies multigrain version that I like, DH popped into Tesco near his work and got me 3 for 2 last week. Then when I went for the weekly shopping, Sainsbugs had crunchy nut cornflakes 2 big packs for £4, so I bought those.

I think we have nearly as much cereal in stock as sainsburys at the moment !!

Pringles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Massively over-priced at £2+ per tub when other stores like B&M etc. can sell them for 79p'ish.

Only ever pay £2+ when they are on a buy 1 get 2 free offer, which brings them back down to "normal" price.
