Tesco shoppers spot major bakery change for reduced items
Customers have spotted notices being put up in bakeries stating that from 7pm at night, loose bakery products will be slashed to half price.
It comes as someone posted on the Extreme Bargains UK Facebook group: 'Spotted This In My Local Tesco Express- Not Sure If All Stores But Maybe Useful To Someone.'
They also included a picture of Tesco bakery shelves with items including almond croissants, pain au chocolats and chocolate twists, along with a sign which reads: 'From 7pm, our loose bakery products are reduced by 50%. Excludes bread and gingerbread.'
It's been reported that this used to take place at 5pm but it's been moved back by two hours, according to The Sun.
The supermarket giant, which makes reductions to bakery items every day to help reduce food waste, has confirmed to Newsquest that pastries and sweet treats are usually discounted at around 7pm.
But customers should be aware that timings can vary by store.
Tesco shoppers say 'what a time to be alive' as bakery change spotted
Reacting to the news, someone commented underneath the Facebook post: 'What a time to be alive.'
While an impressed shopper replied: 'Ooo wow I'll go and wait haha.'
What's the Difference Between Best Before and Use-By?
However, as revealed by Tesco, it seems the time loose bakery goods are discounted depends on your local store, as this customer wrote: 'In my local Tesco it's 5pm.'

Others didn't seem to agree with the reduced-price baked goods as this person said: 'But they have been sat there for 12 hours in the open air.'
Yet this Facebook profile responded: 'They may have been, or they may be baked throughout the day so they are a little fresher. But it is a bread based product - it doesn't go off within 12 hours and it doesn't need plastic to keep it safe.'
If Tesco can't sell food, it is redistributed to charities and community groups, and offered to colleagues for free.

WHSmith prices 'should be illegal' after selling £4.19 Pepsi
Welsh snooker legend Mark Williams recently posted a picture of a checkout screen in WHSmith, where it showed a 500ml bottle of Pepsi Max costing £4.19. Williams was at Heathrow Airport at the time. Airports across the country are slightly notorious for charging inflated prices. At the time of writing, a 500ml bottle of Pepsi Max from Tesco costs £1.59. Customers subsequently blasted the store. WHSmith pricing should be illegal in general, no clue how they get away with it One said: "WHSmith literally sold off their entire High Street business but kept travel hub shops for this very reason. It's like printing money and they don't care about the customers." Another commented: "Smiths are proper cosy cosy with all the airports, word is they mark up their prices by 50% and go halters with the airport the shops located in". Someone else replied: "I paid that in Liverpool airport a couple of weeks ago, couldn't believe my eyes". Another said: "WHSmith pricing should be illegal in general, no clue how they get away with it". Some, however, defended the pricing. Recommended reading: Replying to the previous post, a user commented: "It's in an airport mate". To which he responded: "Expensive in other WHSmith stores too hence why I said general". Airports tend to be expensive due to a combination of factors, including high operational costs, the captive audience they serve, and the unique challenges of operating within a confined space. These costs are then reflected in higher prices for food, beverages, retail goods, and services within the airport, as well as in airline ticket prices, which often include airport fees.
