Best ever reduced item bargain?

I popped to Waitrose tonight for some chocolate and they happened to be reducing the Pizza Express pizzas to 19p from £4! I got 3 and just froze them when I got home - perfect for a few cheap dinners! I think that's got to be my best ever supermarket reduced bargain. Anyone else got a bargain in the supermarket reduced bit recently?:j:j

    Food - 10 packs of fresh party food nibbles for 10p. Things such as mini quiches, prawn tempura, cheese stuffed jalapenos etc. Bought these at work a few days before Christmas. These did me 6 teas.

    Non food - I had a voucher for £4 off TU clothing if I spent £20. Found a pair of black sandals and had the white version and they are so comfy. Scanned them on the scan and go handset and came up as £20. Accepted my coupon. On the way home, I thought to myself, the bill was cheap. Got home and found that the sandals scanned at £4. As we get staff discount before coupons are used, these sandals cost me minus 60p as it was around Easter when the staff discount is at 15%. The sandals are no longer available.

    That's a brilliant find! We have a waitrose, when do they start reducing things?

    I went to ASDA this sunday and got loads of Quorn meal for £1 when they are about £3 normally. I was chuffed to bits!
    Now I am employed, lets get rid of this student debt! :D:D
