Budget food/living

Tesco's has a section where you can find discounted food that expires on the day.

I usually grab sandwiches for about 50p in the evening.

The later you go the cheaper the prices.

Some Marks and Spencers begin to reduce food from 10am for stuff dated same day and after 7pm in Simply Food stores sandwiches can go down to 50p or 10p to stop anything being thrown away.

I found that hitting the supermarkets around 3 pm or 4 pm on midweek days was when you found the best reduced items. This was especially true for Waitrose.

I used to do that but it was getting very popular with folks a lot poorer than me. There were people who could of been there half the day wheeling around a trolley full of items they had checked were on their last sell by date (but not yet reduced) waiting for the lad with the hand held reduced sticker machine to turn up. It then became a bit of an unsavoury scrum.
