Savvy shopper bags £250 worth of Sainsbury’s food for just £60 – and he’s got enough meat to last him the month
A DAD has revealed how he bagged £250 worth of food at Sainsbury’s for just £60 – and he’s got enough meat to last him a month.
Taking to the Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, the dad shared a snap of his enormous food haul which included fancy salmon fillets and even a tomahawk steak.
Captioning his post, he wrote: “Managed to get ~ £250 of food today for £60! Including 71 oz tomahawk steak & 60oz Fillet beef, This was at Sainsbury’s Blackpool
“- Taste the difference Salmon fillets – Was £7 reduced to £1.74,
– Christmas Duck – Was £8.25 reduced to £2.19,
– Two Bone Tomahawk – Was £46.80 reduced to £15.99
-British Fillet of Beef – Was £80 reduced to £14.99.”
The bloke walked away with 25 packets of meat of fish, all including multiple servings and 21 of those items were salmon fillets alone.
Fellow bargain hunters were seriously impressed by the dad’s enormous haul, sharing their thoughts in the comments.
One wrote: “Salmon it is then for a while. Well done.”
“Wow that’s fantastic,” agreed another, while a third wrote, “That’s amazing well done.”
It comes after news that yellow sticker bargains could soon be scrapped from our stores.
The major change comes as part of a move towards using artificial intelligence (AI) in grocery stores in an attempt to kerb food wastage.
It could see automatic pricing on fresh products which would usually have a reduced sticker slapped on them as they near their use-by date.
Instead of a supermarket staffer walking around and labelling the goods, their prices would automatically change on the digital tag.
The snappy price shift would mean shoppers would see the reduced price sooner, and, in theory, nab the cheaper food quicker.
It’s already been trialled in supermarkets across the country, and is looking to be rolled out for further testing.
