Supermarket End Of Day Reductions

David_92

In Asda today I didn't get much reduced, but the whoopsie man was reducing blueberries to 15p (were £1.60) and people were taking 10 - 15 at a time probably without any real intention of going through all of them before going off. I got one punnet which is nice added to cereal .

I also noticed things were being reduced that weren't Christmas items that still had long dates - for example a pack of McVities Strawberry Shortcake slices were 10p from 99p despite being dated the end of February which seemed very strange.

yesterday had chicken breasts 500g packs at 40p was £4.00. they had

over ordered

and was about 300 to be got rid off. i bought 18 packs and was told off as

tesco

had a bulk buying policy of only 6 items max. i looked at the staff going

through

the tills carrying boxes of 12 to there cars and thinking why are they not being told off. one bloke had a large trolley full about 40 packs. nothing was said to him. went back a hour later to see if the bread and veg had been reduced and they was still loads on the

reduction

shelf. and the

woman's

telling people only 6 packs each it

was

9.30 pm and it shut at 10. the store was nearly empty of customers. what was going to happen to the chicken if unsold. what a waste.

Nothing that exciting for a while, although I did get a 2-pack of Tesco Finest fruit tarts for 25p the other night, and on Monday they were selling off the posh salads and sandwiches for 20-25p each.

Our local morrisons is good for this.

Our best trip was about half an hour before closing and people seemed to be quietly milling around until you heard a 'the cooked chickens have now been reduced' and everyone legged it. Lol. But we got a cooked chicken for 20p, a bag of mixed veg for 10p, a loaf of bread for 10p and a pack of 4 fresh cream cakes for 20p Heaven! Oh and aunt b's roasties were on offer at £1 so we had a gorgeous tea that night

Also had a good one with Mr T's once. There was a member of staff wheeling a trolley full of meat towards the meat aisle (duh...) and we noticed it had reduced stickers. She said to help ourself, so we had a nose. There were a pair of fillet steaks for £1 and a whole roast beef (not sure on proper cut name) round peice for £1.50 and it was finest! The whole trolley was meat that was display until that night. Obviously many pieces got purchased and frozen Think we spent about a tenner and got some of the most amazing steaks and peices of meat!

Gotta love the end of day reductions

Sharron: 2 of our local supermarkets (Sainsburys and Tescos) give all their waste veg / bread and other food to our local zoo. Its one way of using the leftover food and helps a great animal charity! I think more places could do things like this to help.

I work in Asda and at our store the policy is 1 hr before closing everything left is 1p and at 1/2 hr before closing we put everything left in a basket or trolley and everyone who goes through the checkouts can have one or two free items from the trolley.
