Shoppers slam ‘ridiculous’ yellow sticker discounts at Sainsbury’s and Tesco
Shoppers say some fresh food is cut by only 25p a day before its best-before date, prompting criticism in a 1.2 million-member Facebook group.
- Shoppers recently criticized Sainsbury and Tesco for offering small 25p price reductions on fresh food nearing expiration, calling the discounts "ridiculous."
- A post in the Bargain Lovers Facebook group, which has 1.2 million members, sparked the discussion after one customer shared a photo of reduced raspberries at Sainsbury.
- One customer cited raspberries priced at £2.50, reduced to £2.25, stating, "I'd rather pay the extra 25p for new and know they'll last for longer."
- Some shoppers defended the strategy, noting items are reduced further on the actual expiration day and unsold stock goes to charity or food banks.
- Complaints extend beyond fruit to all inventory, with one Sainsbury shopper in Cornwall describing the practice as "what I hate," while others reported similar policies at Tesco.
