Popped in to Waitrose after my hair cut, to look in the reduced section.

Oooh, several packs of smoked salmon!

Reduced from £4.80 to… £4.20. Bah.

@Flick I just thought everything would be really small.

@sullybiker It’s a new thing in the last few years, most of the supermarkets now have a section of marked-down shirt dated stuff.

You hear stories of actual scrums of people at the times of day when they put things in there, some places they have to put barriers up to give the staff space to work.

@sullybiker Yeah, you can get some amazing bargains if you’re lucky, which is why I always check when I’m passing.

@sullybiker In fact, it’s if anything more common in the higher-end ones. Morrisons, for example, does yellow sticker stuff but they just stay in the usual place in the fridges, rather than there being a special section with everything together like Waitrose/Sainsbury’s/Tesco do.
