Husband has had digestive issues recently so switched him to gluten free. £3 for a loaf :eek: Do supermarkets often have a lot of gluten free bread yellow-stickered ? Any particular supermarkets ?

What works in one place, isn't necessarily true of another. I used to live in a large conurbation and I'd get the odd bit of gluten free in the large Tesco's and Sainsbury's, but very rare. I did better in the small Coop.

However, since moving to a more rural town- Sains is next to useless and the Tesco Extra in the nearest big town has a dearth of g/f stuff at silly prices, frequently. However I still find the small local Coop doesn't have the turnover and so always has GF bread on YS. M&S has the occasional treat, very rarely. HTH

Hi all, hope its ok if I join you? After my mum bought up 4 children as a single parent I have been bought up with a large percentage of the food shop being yellow stickers and reduced items - we call it the skanky basket as people used to think that the food was skanky but as we all know people are more up for buying reduced items. It is now the same for me and the hubby as I have the skanky bug and can stalk the man or lady with the reduction gun for hours much to the annoyance of the hubby.

So I have come back from Asda and not a bad haul but have done loads better - I got there about 20 mins to late but then again I do not normally go on a Wednesday.
Scallops were over £6 and I got them for 80p,
Bread for 10p a loaf,
Yogurt 10p for a pack of 6

Thanks Wizzbang, had no idea that Co-op did gluten free bread, we have two small stores in our town so will have a nose.

On Monday I visited a new Marks & Spencer and bought a 400g sliced loaf for 2.99 :eek: plus the last two 535g Genius brown sliced loaves at Sainsbury's for 2.90 each. Gluten free bread is horrendously expensive so I was pleased to get some YS GF rolls at Sainsbos for 1.49 although that's 49p more as YS than I used to pay for 4 organic seeded wholemeal rolls full price at Sainsbury's !

My mother does have a rummage in the reduced section and she found me some organic English apples too :T

got some bargains

cherry tomatoes 300g £0,10 x 3
bag of bananas 800g £0,10 x 2
fresh leeks 400g £0,18 x 2
grapes snack pack £0,05 x 5
fresh prawns 180g £0,35 x 3
finest 12 mini Scottish salmon & champagne en croute £1,80 x 3 (still took 3fo2 so got one free, so it still works on reduced items but it deducts reduced price not the full one as it does on 3 for £10 deals) not a bargain but wanted to try them

did well for my lunch today. I have a small Tesco Metro near my work so popped in there for some lunch from the reduced sections-


potato skins (warm but very nice) 45p was £1.80 (I think)
Moroccan cous cous salad £1.48 was £2.50
some deli cheese thingys 63p was £1.29


So got my lunch for £2.50 instead of £5.59 (when items at full price)


must say I have done this before, if I go into Tesco for lunch I do head to the reduced section first, its hit and miss as usual but normally I manage to get something at a good price, Im eating it that day so why not!

we have a new Tesco metro opened near to me this week. I went in for a quick peek and came out with 3 bags rammed full. The manager said they over stocked and had to shift it.

my haul included lamb chops, , 4 pack. 45p per pack, i got 4
chicken breast fillets 4 in a pack, 45p I bought 4
a family sized trifle, 29p got 2
katsu chicken, posh microwave meal, 39p, got 2
indian masala take away meal, 39p x 1
3 tubs of hummus for 14p
4 fresh peppers 14p
SUSHI1, A £4.30 PACK REDUCED TO 33P. in date and
sushi £3.30 reduc down to 33p (I loe sushi but rarely get it as it is so expensive sothis was a real treat ):o:o
really nice bread reduced to 15p, its crammed with seeds, really nice but sually nearing 2quid, so another treat.

this is my best lot of reductions ever. probably wont get it like this once the store knows roughly how much of everything it needs.

i have enough meat for a month if not longer for about a fiver.

What's the best time to go to for the reduced stuff on Christmas Eve? was thinking about an hour before closing.
