With supermarket prices increasing during the cost of living crisis many shoppers have been relying on items with reduced-priced yellow stickers to save on costs. However, it can be a struggle for shoppers to know when the best time to go shopping is to get their hands on the food with the yellow stickers.
Whilst supermarket giant Marks and Spencer can sometimes be out of budgets for some shoppers, the reduced yellow sticker food can be a bargain if you get there at the right time. An M&S manager has now given tips on when the best time is to get the reduced items with the yellow stickers, reports The Mirror.
Seeking advice, a TikToker named Danielle, @charityshoplife, turned to her 50,000 followers to find the prime time for M&S yellow stickers. 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!" She explained. "I usually go just before closing and there's nothing left."
In the comment section, a manager, purporting to work for Marks & Spencer, shared the best time to head to the supermarket. They wrote: "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!"
After questioning whether the items are reduced further, the manager clarified: "That's the final reduction, can't guarantee it’s the same everywhere though but worth a try at that time."
After diving deep further into the comment section, TikTock users claimed that discounted offers were dependent on each supermarket. A different user said: "My mum works in M&S and they do the second reductions between 3-4pm!"
"4pm at my store is when we do second reductions," someone else added. A third wrote: "For my store we do everything but veg around 4 then veg at 6." A fourth claimed: "Same at Waitrose, doesn't seem a pattern……trick is to ask the staff, they'll tell you and it might be store specific."
