Whoopsie deals, also known as yellow-sticker bargains, tend to crop up when supermarkets shift food that’s approaching its use-by date.
The way shoppers know these items are discounted is because supermarkets put a yellow sticker on packets indicating the revised price.
They can also be used to offer discounts on food in damaged packaging or on lines that are being discontinued, such as Christmas chocolates once the festive season is over.
Often there will be an entire shelf or section of the supermarket dedicated to these clearance bargains but sometimes you can find them tucked away with full-priced items.
