Reduced bargains and yellow stickers shopping

Wizzbang

In Mr T's today, the reductions man was literally standing back aghast at this hoard of women who swooped on the crates he was trying to reduce. They were all over them, picking up these hefty great things, sifting through for bargains. He stood back on the other side of the aisle, half amused, half shocked at their behaviour. I thought his tactics were good, he could then reduce items further after they had gone!

I got an 8 pk of mini muller corners for 39p, posh stir fry veg for 95p, big bunch of chrysanthemums for £1.85, a free from lasagne for £1.25, plus 2 packs of 4 peaches for £1.19 ea. I left plenty for others who may come later and get better reductions.

My local Tesco express has been great for bargains this week, stir fry veg 18p, mushrooms 10p, peppers 15p. I eat them past their sell by date and they are fine!

Produce just go by condition rather than date.

Got some great bargains at Morrisons today on Dr. Oetker cake decorations/toppings. They have a use by date of May 2014, so I can only assume the line is coming to an end in store for the prices to be so reduced this far in advance!

- Silver sugar balls for 39p
- Chocolate sprinkles for 25p
- Hundreds & thousands for 25p

Fantastic as they're usually around £1.29 each!

Also got a pack of 6 pancakes reduced to 15p (they've gone in the freezer to be used for breakfast another day).

Definitely worth taking a look - with such a long use by date on and no damage whatsoever to the items, I can only think they won't be selling the brand (or certain items from the brand) any longer.

ASDA.

2 lambs hearts, 66p. Stuffed with 15p sage & onion stuffing and braised in gravy. Only 2 meals, but a bit special and still good VFM.

Beef liver, 415g, 55p. Liver & bacon (125g out of a 500g pack, 20p out of 81p). We'll get 4 meals from this.

PS. I've just found a really clever way of doing the hearts. Cook them in a lamb casserole. I'd then eat the hearts and freeze the casserole for later.
