Searching for discounted groceries has become a rewarding challenge, especially when it comes to spotting those coveted yellow sticker deals. Over the past week, I committed to visiting my local Waitrose every day to observe when the best reduced items appear.
My previous visits to supermarkets like Sainsbury’s, M&S, and Asda gave me a good foundation, but Waitrose intrigued me because of its reputation for quality and occasional tempting discounts. Each day, I timed my visits differently—early morning, midday, and late evening—to monitor how and when markdowns were placed.
The results were consistent: Waitrose tends to mark down perishable items late in the evening, often between 7 pm and 9 pm, just before closing. This timing ensures freshness throughout the day while allowing customers seeking bargains a chance to snap up reduced goods at great prices.

Products frequently marked down include bakery items, fresh produce nearing their sell-by dates, and selected ready meals. Being flexible with what you buy and planning your visit around this window can lead to significant savings.
Ultimately, patience and a strategic approach turned a simple grocery run into a fruitful quest for quality bargains at Waitrose.
