"Way, way, way too posh for yellow stickers In fact I dislike being around that section when the vultures descend. I don’t refer to all bargain hunters, of course, just the jostling smellies. I’d rather have the freshest possible food with a few days grace. Just a personal preference. I have now started online shopping and the pockets are pretty good with that." **pickers | |||

"I used to love going in Aldi at around 7pm as there'd be tons at 70% off. Now they've dropped it to 50% and some other bugger always seems to get there first. I am, however, addicted to 'Too Good To Go'. Even the BK at the motorway services near us does it. And Greggs and Costa for sarnies, donuts and cakes. A" If I drove I'd use Too Good To Go. | |||

"I would rather get fresh food that lasts longer as this household is so unpredictable, it would probably end up being thrown out which wouldn't be great, I'm really glad it's gets reduced and people can make use out of it Instead of the food getting wasted and going to landfill."

It's a shame but yellow stickers aren't as good these days, still very pricey most of the time. If my dad was alive he'd be very disappointed. " Haha yes my Mum would too ..
