Dominique regularly shops for yellow sticker discounts, meticulously plans her meals in advance and subscribes to loyalty programmes for the best discounts. She told money-saving community LatestDeals.co.uk: "I decided to start yellow sticker shopping to save money and for ethical reasons such as preventing food wastage that would most likely end up being discarded by supermarkets even though it is perfectly fine.
"Over the course of the year I have managed to save on average at least £1,000 by buying reduced produce. "So far in my hauls I have managed to buy things such as a boneless lamb shoulder joint for £2.84, beef ranch steaks for 2 for £1.49, seabass fillets for £1.49, a large gammon joint for £3.24, lamb mince for £0.79p, eight chicken fillets for £2.74, organic king prawns for £0.99p, crayfish for £0.99 and oxtails for £1.49. "These items were all good quality. It's worth every penny that is saved as I can feed my household on average for £15 to £20 per week without having to say no to snacks or personal indulgences.".
