So the time to go bargain hunting in the Reduced section is around 3pm. Time to find a joint with 33% off and if you're not going to use it immediately then bung it in the freezer. Also, split awareness between things that say 'Use By' and things that say 'Best Before'. Best Before does not mean 'poisonous immediately after'.

A 24 hour Tesco that's not open 24 hours? Haven't they heard of the Trade Descriptions Act?

They aren't open 24 hours, so they drop the price on short dated stuff every day and put it in several places around the store.
At about 7pm they drop the price even more (10p loaf of bread anyone?).

and used to put everything together in one place, but then the great unwashed would be gathered around like seagulls at a council tip.
However, about 6pm in Waitrose, they reduce stuff and it isn't full of smelly people trying to mug the reduced-ticket man as he prices stuff down.
I got a £6 banoffee cheesecake for £1.50 not so long back. The cake counter and the deli sections are the places to scope out.

I was in Tesco one Sunday afternoon just as the Reduced stuff was being wheeled out. It was like the Cabbage Patch Doll riots all over again. I felt sorry for the poor sod who'd been tasked with pricing up the dented cheddar and single scotch eggs in sad-looking bags. He did his best to stock the shelves, but was no match for the ravenous scabby grasping arms flailing around, snatching each miserable morsel while the price-gun was still mid-clack. Watching this sacrificial shelf-stacker battle mercilessly against the marauding pack of bastards, it reminded me of the scene in Jurassic Park when they lower the goat into the dinosaur enclosure. He never stood a chance. At one point, the cheeky bastards even started making requests, telling him which things to price next. I began to wonder if I'd missed a national ban on food.
They say a society is only three meals away from anarchy. Three meals! I reckon two 59p quiches and a bent pepperami would do it.
