An M&S ‘yellow sticker addict’ has pinpointed the times to go to the supermarket for the best discounts.
The Instagrammer, who goes by freeloading_chaz, documents his life as a “yellow sticker addict.” In one of his latest videos, freeloading_chaz documents what he does at M&S to get the best deals.
The first thing he reveals is that the yellow stickers go on the sandwiches at 5 p.m. He then goes on to show what else he does to get the finds, saying that he has mastered the “snatch and grab” to get things right under people’s noses.
But eventually, in the video, freeloading_chaz reveals when it’s best to grab the stickered items. According to Chaz, the best time is an hour before closing time, as things can be discounted further as it gets later and later.
Many people in the comments have admitted that they are also yellow sticker addicts with lots of comments like “me too” and another person said “why do I feel watched”.
However, there is also a darker side to the yellow sticker game as one person said in the comments. This person said: “Literally just today I had to sack a lady in M&S for harassing a poor worker, following him around the store and yanking the items out of his hands before he could put them back on the shelf, some people keep on losing his goddamn mind.”
Another person had similar experiences and said: “Used to do the yellow stickers. Had 2 types of addicts. The vultures that would just hang around the staff doors and stare through the glass when you do only to swarm the moment you came out with stickers and piranhas who would rip things out of your hands before you even got the sticker on and then get mad that it wasn’t as low as they wanted.
