It frugally is worth finding out the best time of day to grab a reduced food item.
Today I wandered into my local Morrisons just before 2pm as I know the reduced items would be likely to be out. I was in luck as I grabbed a loaf of branded sliced white for toasting reduced to £0.19p. Below the reduced bread were cartons of free range eggs that had hitherto contained a full dozen but now, due to obvious breakages, only had ten. I bought ten at £0.85p or 8.5p per egg, with a long use by date too.
In the refrigerated aisle there were more bargains to be had. A full kilo of shredded cabbage from the deli counter salad bar at £0.50p, it's easy to freeze (no blanching required) and use 'as and when' and I already have bags of red and green chopped sweet peppers which were only 20p per bag in the freezer.
The last of my foraging produced two packs of pre sliced mature farmhouse cheddar cheese. The slices were thick and there were ten per pack marked at £0.50p each or £0.05p per slice. These are in the freezer bagged up in portions of two slices each. I have YS breaded ham frozen in the same fashion and this will be used for easy sandwiches and toasties for our lunches.
What bargains have you found locally and what supermarket do you think makes the best reductions in your area?
