Whoopsie deals, also known as yellow-sticker bargains, tend to crop up when supermarkets shift food that’s approaching its use-by date.

The way shoppers know these items are discounted is because supermarkets put a yellow sticker on packets indicating the revised price.

They can also be used to offer discounts on food in damaged packaging or on lines that are being discontinued, such as Christmas chocolates once the festive season is over.

Often there will be an entire shelf or section of the supermarket dedicated to these clearance bargains but sometimes you can find them tucked away with full-priced items.

It comes after one supermarket slashed the price of mince pies to just 4p each – but you won’t find them at Aldi or M&S.

One savvy shopper uploaded a picture of a stacked boxes of pies from Co-op for just 25p for six.

“Well, the mince pie season is over I guess, because all of this lot were down from a quid to 25p each in Co-op Southampton,” the post read.

Other sweet-toothed shoppers can also nab a box of heavily discounted mince pies from M&S.

A pack of six all-butter treats will only set you back £1.25.

Elsewhere, chocolate lovers are rushing to get their hands on a giant tin of Quality Street chocolates slashed in price.

So if you’re also a fan of the Christmas favourite chocolates, listen up.

If you want to stock up on some more sweet treats for the festive season then you best get down to your local B&M store.

One savvy shopper spotted the bargain chocolates online while searching for more chocolates to add to their cart.
