Stacey Williams, Head of Business Development at anti food waste app, Gander, commenting as food and drink inflation reach close to record highs, said: “Despite continued high levels of inflation for British households, fresh figures from the Office for National Statistics on Wednesday showed that food CPI (Consumer Prices Index) inflation struck 19.3 percent last month, although this reflected a slight drop against March’s data.

Consumers will hopefully see some softening with food prices but retailers are still experiencing inflationary pressure in their supply chain due to higher labour costs and some commodity price rises. This isn’t great news for consumers but one way they can reduce their weekly shopping bill is to consider buying reduced or yellow label food items.
“These products certainly aren’t poor in quality and represent great value. Yellow stickers are not advertised by big retailers but can appear on any food at any time. Some days hundreds of items will be available in just a single supermarket. Discounts range from 10-90 per cent, so significant savings can be made by the consumer. Local convenience shops will also offer such discounts, so it is always worth popping to your local store to see if there are any reduced price items.”
