Do you often see shoppers rave about the yellow-sticker deals they’ve managed to nab on their food shop and wonder how they do it?
Well, you’re in luck because a savvy woman who often gets herself hugely discounted food deals in Sainsbury’s has shared her top tips and tricks so that you can save yourself a small fortune – and it really couldn’t be easier.
Karen Isla Crossley took to money-saving Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK and posted a snap of the £17.25 joint of lamb she managed to nab for the heavily reduced price of just £4.29 – meaning a whopping £12.96 saving.
She also nabbed Taste the Difference 20% fat Welsh hill lamb mince for £1.44 instead of £5.75, saving herself an impressive £4.31.
Alongside the image, she wrote: “Getting the timing of my shopping trips spot on atm.”
Unsurprisingly, it wasn’t long before eagle-eyed social media users saw the post and rushed to the comments section keen to hear more.
“What’s the best time to go for deals please?” asked one.
Karen replied: “It seems to be about 1 to 2pm.

“At my Sainsburys they put all the reduced meat together but down meat aisle. Think it was close to bake in bag chickens.”
A second enthused: “Bargain!”
And a third noted: “3pm seems to be the sweet spot for Asda.”
And Karen isn’t the first shopper to show off her mega yellow-sticker haul and reveal her secret tips.
Fabulous previously told how Lisa Greenwood shared an image of her trolley piled high with various meats slashed to half price in Aldi.
She penned: “I never normally get a bargain but I think I went into Aldi at exactly the right time today.”
Among the bargains include a whopping 50% off everything from diced chicken breast, garlic and herb chicken kebabs, steak mince and a whole chicken.
In response to one person who asked what time she went to her local branch, she disclosed that she visited her Aldi at 5pm.
