Jordan went on to say that it is even possible to save thousands of pounds, “Some people have saved hundreds even thousands of pounds a year just by picking up yellow stickered items at the end of the day but they can be hard to find so here are some of my top tips to save money with yellow stickers.”

He explained that when looking for discounts, we should prioritise buying high-quality, expensive items that are most likely to expire. He said, “Ready meals, fresh meat and fish are all up for grabs, as they are the most likely things to expire quickly! Check around all the chilled aisles in your supermarket – and you should find a section of reduced items like this."

He also advised shoppers to visit the bakery section and attempt to find items that can be frozen. “Do make sure you head over to the bakery section. Fresh bread, cookies, cake are all on offer if they’re soon to expire – so it’s a good way to get a sweet treat for a discount. Quite often you can get whole loaves of bread for dirt cheap that can be frozen.”
