Does Lidl reduce items at the end of each day? I've never gone to my local store to see if they do, Sainsburys close to where I live do, but it's not often a huge reduction. Very rare I pick up anything at 1/4 price, unlike the 10p sticker or less items I've seen others get things for.

Yet more super bargains in Aldi today! The luxury iced Christmas cake down to £1.99 and the Matchmaker clones for 49 pence, while their mint chocolate collections were priced at £1.49.

TTD fresh cranberry sauce 10p. Can freeze them. Though I recommend to transfer the contents into Tupperware pots as the pots are similar to the Innocent Veg Pots.

I once froze the latter as had a YS. When I took it out of the freezer to defrost, the pot lid popped off contents going everywhere

I know someone who puts in a pot of the fresh cranberry sauce into Apple crumble.

Lidl do a standard 30% off - normally a day or two before the date on the pack.

I am usually so poor at finding reduced bargains. A lot of the offers posted are individual to stores in a particular town, and I swear the stores around me never seem to reduce anything!

(well,not strictly true, but if there IS anything reduced e.g. at Sainsburys, it is immediately surrounded by an agitated crowd of East European-speaking people who act like they have never eaten before and push trolleys aggressively across the access area. I won't go anywhere near when people are behaving like that!)

However, hope springs eternal etc, and after a rather depressing trudge around two major supermarkets, finding nothing in the line of Christmas reductions apart from a roll of wrapping paper (which, when I got it home, I found was ripped!), I called in for a paper to a local Co-Op store.

Hooray! Christmas reductions!
A 350g decorated tin of all-butter shortbread, £1;
Cadbury's 300g 'knitted jumper' decorated tin of chocolate biscuits, £1.50;
250g box of caramel thins, 25p;
Box of 6 Mr Kipling frosted fancies, 25p;
400g carton of biscuits for cheese, 75p;
300g of extra-special biscuits for cheese, 75p;
pack of 10 charity christmas cards, 19p
pack of 5 embellished luxury christmas cards, 31p.

I have finally won in the lottery of bargain-hunting!:T

Usually on bread and dairy products.

Got the T*sco Finest Lemon and Raspberry tarts for 45p for 2, instead of £3 (they're the ones that come in the 2 dine for £10 deal), and a pack of mini cheese and onion rolls for 24p. Both popped in the freezer - rolls are for a family party on Sunday

I found a good offer in Morrisons at lunchtime. They had some packs of chicken Kievs and chicken gougons priced at £2.19 each or 2 for £3.00, so a discount of £1.38 if you bought two packs. They were reduced down to £1.10 a pack so two packs were £2.20 but it still took off the £1.38 which brought the price down to 82p. Strangely this means it's 28p cheaper to buy two packs than it is for one so I bought two packs of each (and would probably have bought a few more if the freezer wasn't already full).
