I never bought food from the reduced section but now I’m hooked after nabbing a chicken for 43p

She decided to try out the shopping technique at Morrisons, Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury's to see what products she could nab on Easter Monday.

And to her delight, she was able to get whopping bargains - including a whole chicken which was reduced from £4.25 to 43p.

Speaking about her yellow sticker "jackpot", she wrote in the : "As I arrived one shop worker was busy reducing a whole load of items that had already been reduced.

"We were talking double discounts.

"A whole chicken reduced from £4.25 to 43p, a posh cottage pie reduced from £6 to 60p and sausages reduced to 15p a pack - all dated the same day but all freezable.

"I think the shop assistant thought I was a little unhinged as I kept circling the aisle and going back for more - I simply couldn't help myself.

"Chicken tikka masala down from £2.50 to 25p, a pack of thin cooked chicken reduced from £2 to 40p and Pukka jumbo sausage rolls down from £1.14 to just 12p, they all went in the basket."

In total, her Morrisons haul cost just £12.99 - leaving her with a massive £41.75 saving on the original prices.

She then tried out Asda - but she admitted that the discounts were "underwhelming" compared to Morrisons.

And as she approached Sainsbury's, she noted that the discounted items were scattered all around the store - making the bargain hunting more difficult.

But she was able to nab some belting offers: "I didn't really need a 2.5kg turkey crown - not on top of my 43p Morrisons chicken - but at £7.71 reduced from a whopping £25.67, who could resist.

"Not me and not the elderly lady next to me either."

Emma ended her shopping at Tesco - where she found her second biggest bargain of the day - a Sonic the Hedgehog birthday cake.

She said: "It was reduced from £12 to £3.60. Was it anyone's birthday? No. Do we like cake? Yes. Will it get eaten? Too right it will.

"And even if it doesn't - we do have Easter eggs to finish after all - then it can be cut up into portions and frozen for a later date."
