A MAN has left people open-mouthed after showing off his epic haul of discounted food.
So if the cost-of-living crisis has meant that you are on a budget, then you’ll need to check this out.
Recently, we saw shoppers go wild as they stocked up on yellow sticker buys that had been slashed to just 10p each in Sainsbury’s.
From pizza and cakes to packs of chicken, bargain hunters went wild at the incredible discounts from the popular chain.
But now, one savvy shopper has got his hands on a huge haul of 10p food – and no, it wasn’t from Sainsbury’s.
Thrilled with his finds, Kulbir Singh Rana took to social media to alert other shoppers.
Posting on Yellow sticker shopping tips, tricks and hauls, a private Facebook group with 197,800 members, Kulbir shared a snap of his receipt, proving that each of his items had in fact been reduced to just 10p.
Alongside the post, Kulbir penned: “10p each.”
He then confirmed: “All for a £1.”
Kulbir shared a picture of his haul – which included four packs of chicken fillets, three packs of pork sausages, two lots of salmon fillets and a New York Style Deli sandwich.
He revealed that he nabbed his discounted buys from his local Co-op, in Warwick.
In total, Kulbir spent just £1 on his shop, so it’s no surprise that he was thrilled with his finds.
Previously, we saw a man clear the shelves when he spotted a bargain in Co-op, leading trolls to hail him ‘greedy’.
But with Kulbir’s shop, social media users were left impressed at his cheap buys and many took to the comments to congratulate him on his finds.
The time supermarkets reduce their products vary across stores.
Here’s a rough supermarket-by-supermarket guide:
Aldi
Aldi uses a red sticker to show reductions on fresh products such as bread, meat, fruit and vegetables.
This is when they have reached the last day of shelf life.
Red stickered items are most commonly found at opening and closing times.
M&S
Reduction times can vary from store to store but is most likely to occur near closing time.
Asda
Asda told Which? that yellow stickers are applied twice a day – in the morning and evening.
Co-op
Co-op told The Sun its reduced-to-clear prices are generally applied about four hours before the store closes.
Lidl
Lidl has a similar procedure to Asda and Aldi with reductions twice a day.
However individual stores may opt to reduce prices throughout the day.
Morrisons
Shoppers online have said that Morrisons does the best bargains first thing in the morning.
However, the store told Which? that there are no specific times for yellow sticker price cuts.
Sainsbury’s
Sainsbury’s told The Sun it’s at the store manager’s discretion whether to offer discounts.
However, shoppers have reported that the best deals are in the evening from 6pm.
Tesco
Tesco has said there is no specific time for reduction, but again most people found that prices were reduced from 6pm.
Waitrose
As with most of the other stores, Waitrose shoppers have said the best reductions are found before closing.
However, the store stated that there is no specific time for yellow stickers to be applied.
Not only were many stunned to see such “bargains”, but others hailed his haul as “mental” and claimed that he should “frame” the receipt.
One person said: “That is mental, I never find good reductions like that down here.
If it was me I would have that receipt framed in a prominent place in the house so it will be admired by guests and family members
Facebook user
“I think they’d rather throw it away than go below 50%.”
Another added: “That’s what I like to see, none of this £4+ lasagnes.”
