Aldershot, 48, from Aldershot, Hampshire, shared how he survived the yellow tag deal after being forced to file for bankruptcy with £300,000 in debt and how he saved £10,000 in two years. He later became a huge headline.
Now, two parents who work at a supermarket as part of their many “hustles” are spilling their secrets.
One of the easiest ways the ants could save money was to find out when discounted items could be picked up. Specifically, it was to buy the coveted yellow sticker.
According to Al, who shares money-saving tips on ThePennyPincher blog, timing is everything in overcoming the growing demand for low-cost essentials.
He states, “You may have to beat more of your rival’s bargain hunters, but it’s worth the trip to get the yellow sticker.
“Each supermarket has different times to reduce food clearance, so it’s worth asking your local supermarket staff when to reduce it.
At the supermarket where Al works, they start a discount of about 30% at 9 am, the final discount starts at about 5:30 pm, and it hits the shelves an hour later.
Since each department has a different maximum markdown rate, you can shop in the store in the range of 70% to 90%.
Al has great tips to help you save the most money, beat the competition, and get the best deal.
timing is everything
Al says it’s important to avoid getting caught early; it’s a good idea to come to the store when the deal is over.
He states, “Saturday night is the perfect night for significant savings, and Monday night is usually the quietest night in terms of the number of people in the store, so it’s a great time to stop by and try your luck.”
Supermarkets are packed with shoppers on weekends, so Fridays are best avoided.
friends up
Having a partner can be a great help in closing a deal.
Al said: Take someone if you can. That way you can meet in different places in the store at the same time, so you can split them up to be in two places at once. You are more likely to pick up something from multiple departments during your visit. “
Protect your storage
You may not think of supermarkets as a place to be careful, but Al recommends keeping an eye on your products, as there is competition for the best deals.
“Always have a basket/cart,” he said.
“Unfortunately, a lot of people remove the yellow tag from someone’s car when they don’t see it!”
don’t be greedy
Supermarket workers also advise not to overdo it, although the offer can be attractive.
Said Al. “Bring only what you need. You may want to get a lot of products, especially if a particular item is overstocked, but you don’t plan on using it all. Please leave some for others to use.”
“It also keeps your bill low and means you’re not stuck with something that could ruin it before you use it.”
