Best times for yellow stickers?

I have yet to see anything reduced much at all at my local Sainsbobs at Hempstead Valley,there is a reduced counter, but its never got anything on it no matter what time you go.I asked one of the assistants and she said that stuff that was due to be reduced is binned and even the staff can't buy it any cheaper What a waste of food.tesco's locally in Gillingham rarely cut anything by more than 10% and Asda is up by Rochester airport so the drive of over 6 miles makes it uneconomical to do.
My best bet is to stay out of the blooming places as much as I can and shop in my local independant shops where I get just as much as I want, i.e. if I want two tomatoes from the g'grocer I can buy them, instead of 8 that are wrapped in plastic and have been flown halfway around the world.I can also buy a cucumber that hasn't been plastic wrapped as well.I have a local butcher who will serve you and his meat is locally produced and not frozen and tasteless.I also am lucky enough to have a wet-fish shop who has fresh deliveries from Whitstable a mere half an hour down the road.I don't have a 'pound shop locally but there is a Wilkinsons for inexpensive bits and bobs.I am fed up with the big supermarkets doing the little shops out of trade .You will end up with no high streets in years to come sadly and there will be no choice in where you shop if they are given their own way.
In fact I would probably say that my nearest M&S actually does the best in reduced stuff on a thursady evening atv around 7p.m. the food stuff is great reduced and you know the quality is good .They also reduce on a monday morning at around 10.30 from the week-end stuff and I have had some nice things on a monday from there.Its getting so that there is little to choose between M&S and the big four,but M&S has better quality.

It all varies frm 1 store to another and possibly how much stock there is to actually reduce.

From what I've seen generally not just before closing, 2-3 hours before closing time is the best. Also with waitrose and Sainsburys it really seems to depend on the staff members doing the reductions, I.e in waitrose there is one staff member who reduces all the bread to 10 or 20p, others will only reduce it by about 20p maximum. Have experienced the same in Sainsburys. I go at exactly the same time on the same days as well xx
