I’ve got Skol but I’m not a Scholar
Anyone have 'remainder' shops near them that sell overstock and short-dated stuff as well as some routine goodies? Up here in Yorkshire we have Fultons and Heron Foods, as well as lots of stalls in Kirkgate market. There's a massive Arla factory on the outskirts of Leeds so lots of cheap dairy stuff available locally (and lots of food manufacturing in the region generally). You'll get branded as well as frozen stuff re packed in plain packaging (but you'll recognise stuff like Chicago Town and Tesco pizzas from the shape). I get loads of my food from them and stockpile when the deals are on. Haven't noticed anything equivalent in London.
This weekend I've been stocking up on provamel organic unsweetened soya milk (three 1 litre cartons for a quid in Heron Foods, in date until November, in the fridge in the shop but it doesn't have to be refrigerated). From Fultons I got several packs of old El Paso soft tortillas, they're doing the family size 12-packs for 30p each, short dated (about a week) but these things keep for weeks after the date. Also got some sweet chilli Cathedral City at 99p each for 200g, not super cheap but fuck it's tasty.
I rarely bother with the big supermarkets anymore, about half my food comes from these places, the rest from Aldi, occasionally the coop and cereal from Costco.

Look out, he's got a gnu!
Does anyone know how the price reductions actually work? Seems to vary from shop to shop even when under the same brand.
Pisses me right off when I see 2 worth quids of fruit knocked down to only £1.85

spelling is overrated
Some stores are just shit, others you have to get a feel for the time they discount things and to what level. You get many barren days then all of a sudden the freezer is full

So many particulars. So many questions.
that is an astonishing bargain. Two! you can make fishcakes, serve whole, do an admirals pie- the possibilities are endless

How do you do this? Amazing food hauls, actual desirable charity shop finds. It seems very unfair.
Major fuckup last night. Picked up some 20p veg and £4.50 worth of smoked salmon for £1.14 in Sainsbury. All going well, got to Tesco and the fruit and veg was reduced by a decent amount - only one or two of a lot of things so grabbed a basket of stuff and continued shopping. Walked back past on my way to the till and all the stuff I'd left was getting reduced down to 10-20p

I like tea
Co-op's vulture shelf is great to hit on a Sunday morning at about 11am. I've had packets of chicken thigh meat reduced to £1.50 from 4 quid and the strawberries always seem to be half price or less. Bonus too is that if it doesn't scan they seem to be slinging it in my bag regardless either through ignorance or kindness. Either way I like it!
