Online delivery (fairly boring post)
Occasionally, pricing mistakes are made.

Results this year:
60 packs of 10 snacksize mars, snickers, ... - a total of 15 kilos of chocolate for a tenner. I can eat chocolate for two straight months.
Some killjoys claim this isn't a balanced diet - but I have 4 different chocolate bars.


15 kilos of chicken fillet also for about a tenner.

If you've got the space, making use of the 'favorites on special offer' is a really good plan.

Do check they are actually cheaper than other options.

Keeping track of prices, and planning meals can lead to large savings.

For example - last months shop, I bought no meat, as it was comparatively expensive, with no really good special offers, and I have 15 kilos or so in the freezer.

Currently managing a healthy fairly varied diet on 60 quiddish a month.

I dispute your 'fairly boring' claim.

cheap as free
my dad used to do the same thing. He'd wander round Sainsburys and find something he liked that was on offer, say 3 for 2 on yoghurts. Then he'd find the reduced yoghurts, and take all of them to the checkouts.

The way the pricing/reduction system ran on the till, it registered the reduced price THEN did the original offer. Example: yoghurts £1 each, 3 yoghurts is £2. reduced yoghurts at £0.10, so 3 yoghurts is £0.30. Now remove the price of one yoghurt as per 3 for 2 deal. Buy 3 reduced yoghurts in the deal and you're UP £0.70. Rinse and repeat until you've scammed enough money to get sunday roast for free.

He once emptied out the reduced section and got the whole weeks shopping for about £20.

This adds a new layer to this fascinating tale.
