Shoppers should visit their local branch to see if it's available at a discounted price.
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.
Savvy shopper Eleanor Rose, 22 from London, revealed this week how she bags half-price groceries on every trip to the store.
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.
It comes after shoppers flocked to the major retailer to snap up "bargain of the century" uniform essentials.
A bargain hunter received a pleasant surprise when she scanned two back of boy's long-sleeve shirts for only 4p.
The two-pack of shirts normally retails at £3.50.
In a post on Facebook, the savvy shopper said: "Found the bargain of the century in Tesco.
"It looks like all the boy's long sleeve shirts now come in a pack of 3 (£5.50) however after rummaging through I found a pack of 2 (£3.50).
"When I got to the till I was charged a grand total of just 4p for the 2 pack.
