A supermarket worker has revealed handy tips and tricks he uses to score 90 per cent off groceries - and it's easier than you would think.

Now, the dad-of-two - who worked in his local supermarket up until May - has shared his tips on how to get the best bargains while shopping for other groceries.

The penny pincher, said: “Having previously been in a position where I wasn't sure how I would pay for our next grocery shop, I can relate to anyone having sleepless nights, wondering how they will feed their family." One of the most cost-effective methods for Al was identifying what time he could score reduced items - particularly popular yellow sticker products.
Wales Online reports that Al, who worked at his local supermarket as part of his “side hustles”, says the demand for such items has increased “dramatically”, but for many, it's very much a case of hit and miss - unless you know the best time to buy.
He continued: “You may have to contend with more significant numbers of rival bargain hunters, but it's still very much worth the trip to grab a yellow sticker deal. Every supermarket will have different times for reducing their clearance food, so it's always worth asking a staff member in your local supermarket what time they bring out the reductions.
