Buying yellow sticker/reduced 2012 challenge

kittywight

havent had any bargains for a while went to tescos late night on monday ... i dont tend to go out in the evenings because of ds

but yeh.... i was extremely disapointed ... i think he only thing i bought was kiddies cod and chips ready meals ... £2.15 down to 54p
i went at 7 which is when i was told things would be reduced, even followed the lady around with the gun ... but nope ... nothing ...

i did save around £7.. but that was with vouchers for free items ect

going to morrisons this sunday thats where i normally get all my reduced from ... last time i went the deli had stopped putting all thier reduced on top of the counter, instad leaving it in the counter and people having to ask for it .... i noticed last week that noone else seemed to have cottoned on to this so im hoping i can get a few bits of cheese and such

good bargain hunting folks

Anybody any bargains today? I have not left the house but would love to hear what everyone else has got.

Again very little for me at my local wee co-op, but it all helps to keep topping up..

suede 10p, back of rocket 20p and small pork pie 10p, nearly forgot their reduced party food, didnt boter with the snacks but grabbed a pack of the choc eclairs for a treat as its friday, scanned at £1 was sure it said 49p, they didnt check and put it through as that anway, hope it was meant to be that, am sure it was, was nice munch a couple hours after pizza went down whilst watching film.

So had my cheapo parsnip carrot suede soup I made yesterday then pizza..

Had 3 small chicken thighs that were in a pack of 6 defrosted (were 10p last year) so 5p - marinaded and roasted, these went on home made pizza base about 18" x 12" :eek: with some FREE sacla mozarella bazil tomato sauce and tail ends of bacon from bacon sandwiches (bacon was 10p start if jan ) and some store cupboard stuff like capers sundried tomatoes, handfull of mushrooms and corguetttes from freezer

used a 180/200gram pack of creamy cheddar from poundland, lol most expensive bit... Fed me and mate and were stufed and slice left.

Can have that at lunch with pork pie for a wee change, dont often eat them.

Suede will go into stew or soup.

Off out on Sat and not much with that date on so not fussed, they are well stocked and stuff already reduced a bit for sun/mon, am sure will get a load more bargains then, have half a freezer shelp in anticipation lol

Happy hunting

busy and few reductions . the little chilled they did have not much off.
Always reduced sushi.

I got kingsmill muffins was 69p now 15p brought 3packs

no reduced meats.
reduced chilled section was like 50p off at gone 7pm

lady was reducing that days sandwiches to £1.49 thats not going to shift them!

only things worth a look was bakery trolly near near entrance.

got 6pack kingsmill rolls was 95p now 19p.
6pack scones not sure how much fullprice but 17p chuck in freezeserve with hm jam and tea when mam comes over.
load warbertons bread obver £1 to 27p.
4pack free from apple pies 40p at 10p a pie ok for hubbys lunchbox.

There was a large fotball birthday cake reduced to £1.03 but we all meant to be on diet and eldest a girl dident think shelike it then hubby got cross as I dident buy it.

but would rather buy healthy stuff or stuff that makes meals.
also allow few tasty treats and extras we wouldent normally afford and dident think football cake qualified.

Got few good offers .

by this point kids on car truly fed up and hubby was stressed.
went home ordered takeaway then eldest and hubby went back up local high street to visit large co-op

gave himn stict instructions where thinsg normally are and worth checking normal section too.
Also read here about reduced frozen so mentioned look there.

think he spent less than tenner.

As I wasent with him unsure of costs. but he got

reduced bread
half price gammon joint think £2.57
sandwich for today 70p.
some on offer stuff cheese 100%extra free and ham.
he had no luck produce unlucky as needed some.
the meats were reduced but not by enough!
he did have luck in part section all was 49p think he got 6boxes

cocktail sausages
onion bajees
sausage rolls.

pleased with him hes donea good job and really embracing what im saying.

this afternoon doing lidls deals so no reductions but sainsburys opposite but sat afternoon expect few reductions. also want to try different tesco express for reduced to clear toys as eldest has 5party invites!

so definatly being more fussy with reduced and only buying if super deal.
going by myself monday night unsure if should even go tesco metro now just do morrisions and 2 co-ops.

so for me I keep getting small amounts and mostly bakery items.
every little helps with little snack monstors

but freezer needs some meat
fridge needs some produce!

going to check out sunday reductions at co-op.

off to asda tuesday for baby but cant face big store so will do asda living instead maybe pop in tesco extra but daytime doubt be any good reductions then

I got nothing at morries yesterday, the reductions were stacked high of quiches (don't eat them) all the xmas cheeses with apricots in or cranberries etc (don't eat them only OH and he is now fed up with them) those pasta salads/potato salad combination which cannot be frozen so if I was having a picnic I would have been laughing so got nothing, came away very like ufff:rotfl::D

HOWMUCH

I got all from Morries carbonara pasta sause their Kitchen range £1.99 down to 25p x3, Bolognese x1 ideal for stirring into cooked pasta for DD Clotted cream £1.59 down to 39p ideal for whoopsies scones these are in the freezer. Joint of brisket 1kg £7.60 down to £3.09p I've already cooked this for sarnies. Packet of stewing steak £6.95 down to £2.75 currently in the SC with onion and carrotts for dinner this evening. Water melon and honey dew melon £1.00 down to 19p, Bakery items 4 wholemeal breadcakes 69p down to 39p and spiced fruit cob 99p down to 29p had this toasted for breakfast.
