YELLOW sticker bargains can save you thousands of pounds on your shopping - but the best time to get them depends on where you go. The stickers, sometimes red or orange in colour, are put on products that have been discounted because they're slightly damaged or near their sell-by dates.

One bargain hunter previously revealed how she saves around £50 a week on her grocery bill by snagging the cut-price items. But if you've ever thought about picking some up on your next shop, you might have wondered when the best time to is. So, we've found out when the major supermarkets do their reductions to save you some time and effort.
Unlike other supermarkets, discount chain Aldi uses red stickers to mark down items in its shops. When reductions are made depends on the store, but typically they are made towards the end of the day. Aldi discounts perishable items including bread, meat, fruit and vegetables by up to 75% on their last day of shelf life just before the store closes.
It also offers a 30% discount on food that can be stored at room temperature such as cereal, tinned foods and pasta if it deems the packaging to be damaged. Sainsbury's said when staff add yellow stickers to products varies from store to store. However, Richard, from Britsuperstore, previously told The Sun between 5pm and 7pm is likely when you'll get the biggest discounts.
