Robbed at Waitrose 
They were chucking away a small crate of Mushrooms because they were about to go off and being tight i can't stand waste
They couldn't give them away so sorted a deal out for 10p
.
Robbing barsteward couldn't get the price gun to do 10p so i ended up paying 11p.
Was on mushroom soup, mushroom risotto, and mushrooms with everything for everyone for days

Do you have to prove you're poor to get the deals or what?

Wear a smelly tramp outfit! These goods are "out of date" on that day so they can't sell them the following day. You'll therefore get the best bargains in the evening. It means your dinner could be unusual. I've had some special fried rice thing followed by an Italian beef stew thing and and some kind of strawberry dessert. Total cost about £1.

I heard it was because of the way some buy one get one free offers work, they deduct the price of the meal at the end of the checkout, so a few of them in the system deducted the full price from the discounted price, giving a negative total.

I've had this work for me I shop regularly like this. Sometimes £4 a week will feed a family of three including pack ups. My kids enjoy deli sandwiches almost daily, along with pastries and other bakery products, cooked meats etc. Some of their school 'friends' teased them about their 'yellow sticker' lunches - but my sons said they we're proud of my savvy shopping as they get to dine finely while other kids get boring pack ups.
There's can be quite some skill involved. And their are always the regular ninjas who I curse when I spot them parked up before me. The bearded chap with the white pick up and the old Triumph motorbike is on my list...
Through some fortune I also have access to a discount with a particular supermarket too - an extra 2p off a 10p cooked chicken or fresh Lobster Tail makes me smile every time.

It always astounds and disgusts me how much food is thrown away in this country.
Absolutely. I remember watching a documentary featuring skip raiders. Supermarkets throwing out multipacks of crisps, chocolate etc because the main bag was split, and despite the contents being unaffected it wasn't allowed to be sold. I'm not sure I'd go as far as rummaging Waitrose and Iceland skips at 3am, but I have seen it happen in reality too. Gretchen said:
