Yellow Stickers
Markdown timings by chain, end-of-day wins.
Every UK supermarket marks down stock that won't sell tomorrow. The discounts get savage — 90%+ off bread, meat, and ready meals — but the timing varies by chain, by store, and even by which manager is on shift.
The sites below cover the markdown calendar in detail, plus the apps (Olio, Too Good To Go, Refoody) that essentially digitise the yellow-sticker hunt.
