Are you being duped at the supermarket?
When do supermarkets put out yellow-sticker bargains?
The time supermarkets reduce their products vary across stores.
Here's a rough supermarket-by-supermarket guide:
Aldi
Aldi uses a red sticker to show reductions on fresh products such as bread, meat, fruit and vegetables.
This is when they have reached the last day of shelf life.
Red stickered items are most commonly found at opening and closing times.
M&S
Reduction times can vary from store to store but is most likely to occur near closing time.
Asda
Asda told that yellow stickers are applied twice a day - in the morning and evening.
Co-op
Co-op told The Sun its reduced-to-clear prices are generally applied about four hours before the store closes.
Lidl
Lidl has a similar procedure to Asda and Aldi with reductions twice a day.
However individual stores may opt to reduce prices throughout the day.
Morrisons
Shoppers online have said that Morrisons does the best bargains first thing in the morning.
However, the store told Which? that there are no specific times for yellow sticker price cuts.
Sainsbury's
Sainsbury's told The Sun it's at the store manager's discretion whether to offer discounts.
However, shoppers have reported that the best deals are in the evening from 6pm.
Tesco
Tesco has said there is no specific time for reduction, but again most people found that prices were reduced from 6pm.
Waitrose
As with most of the other stores, Waitrose shoppers have said the best reductions are found before closing.
However the store stated that there is no specific time for yellow stickers to be applied.
Tagging his partner, a third one said: "Go to the co-op on way home."
A fourth commented: "Brilliant bargain. No need to explain."
Meanwhile, Sainsbury's shoppers have been going wild for a new Cadbury drink that "looks amazing" and will save you cash on your coffee orders.
The supermarket is selling the new Kenco Millicano Cadbury Mocha Instant Coffee and fans can't wait to give it a go.
The Facebook page Food Finds UK Official posted the new find and received over 355 comments from eager shoppers.
The shopper said: "New coffees by Kenco found in Sainsbury's £5 each."
Fellow coffee lovers were quick to tag their pals to share the find.
One said: "Oooo yeah the Cadbury one looks nice!"
Elsewhere on the Instagram page, a speedy coffee fan has already given the drink a go and it won their seal of approval.
Posting on the page they wrote: "Brand new Kenco Cadbury Mocha instant coffee!!
"When we saw this in Sainsbury's, we just had to try!!"
They described the drink as "creamy" and "chocolatey" with "strong-tasting coffee";.
The foodies added four teaspoons to a mug and said it was "better than expected".
Sainsbury's describes the collaboration between chocolate giant Cadbury and coffee brand Kenco as a "blissful mocha with indulgent, barista-style froth".
