When do supermarkets launch yellow sticker bargains?
The length of time supermarkets reduce their products varies between stores.

Items with red stickers are most commonly found at opening and closing times.
IN
Reduction times may vary from store to store, but are most likely to occur close to closing time.
Asda
Asda said Which? that the yellow stickers are applied twice a day – morning and evening.
Cooperative
The Co-op told The Sun that its reduced clearance prices usually apply around four hours before the store closes.
Lidl
Lidl has a similar procedure to Asda and Aldi with twice-daily reductions.
However, individual stores may choose to reduce prices throughout the day.
Morrison
Online shoppers said Morrisons has the best bargains first thing in the morning.
However, the store said Which? There are no specific times for yellow sticker price reductions.
Sainsbury’s
Sainsbury’s told The Sun that it is at the discretion of the store manager to offer discounts.
However, shoppers have reported that the best deals are in the evening from 6pm onwards.
Tesco
Tesco said there is no specific time for the reduction, but again, most people have found prices to be reduced from 6pm.
