M&S boss shares the time people should shop to bag yellow sticker items

For many right now, the cost of living crisis is placing immense pressure on the little things - like buying your weekly shop or sticking fuel in the car.

And many would agree that a Marks & Spencer shop is the lap of luxury, reports the Mirror. While it does have affordable own-brand food, many products are too expensive for regular weekly food.

However, yellow sticker reductions are where people go who want a taste of expense, but don't want to pay the full price.

And if you go at just the right time, you can get food and drink for as much as 90 per cent off. But when is just the right time for these bargains?

One Marks and Spencer manager has spilled the secrets to securing deals at the supermarket.

TikTok user Danielle, @charityshoplife, headed to social media to look for some advice on when to bag these yellow sticker reductions.

In her clip, which has surpassed 95,000 views to date, Danielle questioned: "Fellow bargain hunters, when is the best time to get those M&S yellow stickers?

"I see people on [TikTok] getting bargains all the time, but when I go it's like £2 off - and that was the best deal I could find!

"I usually go just before closing and there's nothing left."

Taking to the comment section, a manager at Marks & Spencer - who had conveniently stumbled across the video - shared the best time to visit the supermarket.

They said: "Manager at M&S here. We sticker through the night so at store opening, if there's loads it gets reduced again at 2pm unlikely though, usually sells!

Another added: "My mum works in M&S and they do the second reductions between 3-4pm!"

A third wrote: "For my store we do everything but veg around 4 then veg at 6."
