Need to be on the top of your game every night to get the best bargains

Rule number one of reduced section shopping is, if it look like it may have potential its goes in the basket. Only when the entire section has been sorted for potential does further analysis occur.

There are few better things to put you in a good mood than making a purchase where you feel like you just robbed them.

Costco's pork is usually top notch.
My brother actually goes down the Spitafields meat market around this time of year, the traders auction off shedloads of meat to clear the freezer space so you can get unbelievable bargains.

Think he actually took a huge lump of lamb on the Northern Line one year, was grappling with it all the way to Camden Town. Absolute scenes

Yeah it's an absolute madness. See the same faces in Sainsbury's every night in a battle for the best deals. ****ing listening to 8 mile by eminem on the walk in just to get pumped for it all

M&S is decent but I resent paying full price for their gear. When they get the pricing guns on the go I'll be all over it though


eye of the tiger. One bargain chicken left, you're at one point and some old geezer is at the opposite end. Only one of you will be able to get it...

old guy wins cuz the sales assistant is a redhead and you forget to say anything

in all seriousness, haven't tried their chicken but their beef is actually very good. Nearest one to me is a bit far though

Absolutely spot on, no second chances in this game.

I've often thought that if I got access to the pricing gun I could run amock myself but then I just think of the shame of being arrested for that.

I pop into Sainsburys at 9pm most nights actually, always shedloads of reduced bargains at that time of night

BRB Organic chicken was £5.99, now £0.49
BRB never know what you're going to end up buying, just take whatever is going= buzzing with anticipation every night
BRB no more shopping list
BRB resent paying non-reduced price for absolutely anything now
BRB hanging about the geezer with the pricing gun waiting for it all to kick off
BRB eye-****ing OAPs who also turn up every night with the same idea. Need to be on the top of your game every night to get the best bargains
BRB having to suss out whether it's worth having a row over reduced Jaffa cakes that youre in a tug of war over
BRB need to keep an eye on the basket in case someone tries to jack your loot


haha remember when i did that in tesco metro during university with those mad bargains. buying 2.00 egg noodles for 50p das it mane.

ain't got a place like that now. Iceland rarely do reduced section but their food is generally cheap anyway.

Nah, I'd use the chicken as bait for her as well.

You may mock but quite a few petrol stations in my ends are run by Asians, and they have Cayennes, E63 AMG's etc.

Funny thing is there's a whole street that members of my family own (as in uncles, cousins etc.), dad has a house there too (All rented). That's my contingency if I flop uni :laugh:
