Asda shopper clears shelves of baby dinners slashed to just 20p
AN Asda shopper has cleared their local store of baby dinners after the supermarket reduced the price to just 20p.
The bargain hunter also showed off other hugely reduced goods they got in their haul.
Taking to social media they showed off their goods and told just what they’d paid.
Writing on Facebook’s Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group she said: “Asda Dunstable.
“Pull ups £8 down to £2.80. Cow and Gate toddler milk £8 down to £1. Heinz meals £1.65 down to 20p.
They added: “Lots of pet stuff too. Was in a crate at the front of the store.”
The shopper made a significant saving as the Pull ups were reduced by 65 per cent, while the toddler milk and Heinz meals were both down by a significant 87 per cent.
Generally, the price of Pull Ups varies depending on what size box is bought and the pants size.
Prices though start at £4 for “Trainers Day” for girls aged 2-4 years at both Iceland and Tesco, according to the supermarket price comparison app Trolley.
However, a pack of 32 “Night Trainers” for boys cost £8 on Ocado.
Cow and Gate baby milk formula also varies in price depending on the size of the container.
An 800g packet of “First infant milk” currently costs £9.75 from Iceland, although it is £10.50 in Asda, Boots and Sainsbury’s.
While a 600g pack is £7.50 in both Tesco and Sainsbury’s.
A single 200g jar of Heinz “Sunday Chicken Dinner” baby food can be bought at Sainsbury’s for just £1.
Both Morrisons and Tesco have an offer currently running though where you can buy four jars for £4.
Other members of the group were suitably impressed.
One, who tagged in her pal, wrote: “20p meals.”
Another, who also included her friend, said: “Have a look if u go in Asda.”
While a third added: “Wonder if they have any in ours.”
When to bag yellow sticker bargains
Aldi: Look for red stickers near closing time, offering up to 75% off perishable items and 30% off damaged packaging goods.
Asda: Discounts happen twice daily, in the morning and evening. Early risers can find fresh produce for as low as 10p.
Lidl: Price cuts occur first thing in the morning and before closing. Use the Lidl Plus app for additional weekly promotions.
Marks and Spencer: Reductions often occur near closing time. Monthly in-store offers and combo deals, like the £12 Dine In for Two, provide extra savings.
Morrisons: Yellow sticker discounts appear throughout the day. Register for a More Card to get specific day-based discounts, like 20% off fish on Fridays.
Sainsbury’s: No set discount times; look for yellow ‘reduced’ stickers. Register for Nectar prices for nearly 50% off weekly offers.
Tesco: No fixed discount times. Check the “mark-down section” in 300 stores for reduced-price items like salads, bread, and meat.
Supermarkets often reduce products when they are close to their use-by or best before date.
The best before date is related to quality and there is no harm in eating items that have gone past “best” if they have been stored correctly, like at the right fridge temperature.
This is different from the use-by date, which is very important in the safety of food.
You can eat food right up to the use-by date but not after, the Foods Standards Agency says.
Supermarkets often mark up reduced products with a yellow sticker so shoppers can spot these kind of reductions on shelves.
But as it depends on stock availability can vary from store to store.
