A Week on M&S Yellow Stickers DAY 7

[@SomeOrangeCat]

What a let down. you didn't eat a single sticker.

[@squinqz8bp230]

Yeah, we got click baited for 7 days.

Actually enjoyed this 7 day on M&S yellow stickers, why not please the British nation and do a week on Greggs bakery! 🙌

[@tsartsar7367]

this please... deffo not gonna lose any weight though lol

I think there are many people in this country who do a week on greggs... Some of them do months/years on greggs but they do a lovely cornish pasty 👍

[@BritishAdam]

Would be nice to see a week on Sainsburies basics and/or Morrisons Savers, see if they shape up to the Tesco & ASDA value ranges.

[@littlemissgiggles165]

@Honeysuckle Blossom Reading has a Morrisons and I believe I have been to one near Chippenham so i would guess there are more down south

[@sarahbarkley-smith1024]

We have quite a few Morrison's and sainsburys in the South aswell

[@BritishAdam]

ah, that'll be a shame then if true. I'm a Northerner myself, so i'm surrounded by Sainsburies & Morrisons, plus the usual ASDA, no waitrose at all near me though.

[@little_becky]

There are many Sainsbury’s Morrison’s and Asda down south as well as Tesco. It’s just Waitrose that there aren’t many up north I believe but they are there

[@joannegray5138]

I live in Northumberland and we have most of the supermarkets round here, even Waitrose, which is a bit of an anomaly in the midst of a load of former pit towns and villages.

May I suggest you look for Maru on KZbin? There are years worth of strange and endearing cat behaviour for you there.

[@janicechristinedenton0451]

I'd forgotten about Maru, but I'll certainly start again. Thank you!

[@young321bookie]

Ohhhh, I've just had a light-bulb moment! Your next week-on could be 'A Week On £20' (Or whatever amount you choose). That could be a fun challenge, especially if you only have like a couple of pounds left towards the end and you have to really budget. And it'll help if you really are as poor as you're making out! :P

Not hard to navigate through a KZbin channel. Especially with playlists available.

[@UkeofCarl]

Shit Lord Be nice.

[@TheLondonLass]

I enjoyed this week, but it would have been more interesting to go into M&S each day as they do the final reductions. Not only would it have been much cheaper, it would have been interesting to see what meals it would have resulted in. I used to work next to M&S and would often pop in after work. I'd only spend a few quid but would get a basket full of really nice food. I just had to work out how to make a sensible looking meal from my odds and ends!

[@Beriorn]

Good job on surviving another week, and congratulations on your first day of A Week On Tesco passing the 1 million views mark. I'm looking forward to the next one: A Week On Cat Food. Doesn't have to be actual cat food: make it the kind of stuff that Basil would also eat. So lots of chicken, likely.

[@amy3053]

I used to work at m&s! We use the first stickers (on your pizza) earlier in the day when we have more time for the product to sell or a small number of the product going out of date that day. We use the other stickers (on the potato wedges) when we do second or third reductions later in the day. These stickers can also be used when we have a lot of a product we need to get rid of because there is a function in the scanner that allows us to make the product a lower price (within reason) so they sell before the end of the day! Hope that make sense

[@SigEpBlue]

Watching you eat that yogurt one-handed was much funnier than it should've been.

With all the money Mike has “saved” this week he could probably get nearly a weeks worth of food for himself and Grace at Aldi or Lidl!

[@maxscardanelli6185]

I second this! I’m waiting for Lidl to do online shopping and delivery. I grew up in Germany and Lidl was the go to supermarket over there. It’s great quality yet cheap.

[@_Piers_]

It'd be boring though - a week on eating food that he like and wasn't expensive.

[@grannyweatherwax4917]

A week on Nutribullets would be good. 1 for breakfast, 1 for lunch, and then a healthy dinner. If one does it properly, you can pack them full of protein and stay full for quite a while :D I stumbled upon this channel by accident, and have binge watched all your week ons Mike, truly entertaining, thank you :D

[@glendadalejones3753]

Yes 2nd message. I actually spoke to my sister ,who worked for m+s a couple of yrs back. I mentioned your week on yellow stickers from marks,and then she spoke up.i hadn’t thought that she worked there,whilst discussing this week on. So-she does not 100%remember when the best bargains are , but she said it was definitely afternoons,towards end of close. She actually also said that the last hour to 2hours of opening on Christmas Eve-the big bargains will be. And the best day of the week for best bargained “yellow stickers affair”-are weekends,primarily Saturdays.... Hope that will be of use to anybody reading this...👍

[@SneakyCrocodile]

Glenda Jones I’ve been after some of their foreign selections 2 meals 2 sides for £10 but if I can find yellow stickers I don’t think I can hold back from getting more so this helps me in a bad way ^^ totally going to go on a Saturday a bit before closing time.

[@adeleredfern2606]

Do a week following basic nutritional guidelines eg 5 fruit and veg per day; set amounts of carbs, protein etc.

[@mojavecourier6987]

That's a specific diet he's not going to do. Look at his other diets, he doesn't do that really. Well that's a normal diet actually. Not really video worthy since that's boring.

[@scoe5908]

Do a week on Greggs

[@JS67137]

Yesss

[@daniellewebb7802]

Great idea!!!

[@Dodeforel]

When M&S reduce things, they can select from 3 different pre set prices, being first, second and third reductions. The idea being that select first reduction in the morning, then second or third later in that day. For some reason, when on first reduction, the original price of the item is not shown on the yellow sticker.

[@georgedewey5039]

I work at M&S Darent Valley Hosp and basically the reason there’s a second sticker is because they’ve been reduced on ‘seconds’ . They are reduced for the first time earlier in the day and a few hours before close we reduce them again if they haven’t sold in an effort to get them sold .

Back in the 1990s I sat in the dining room and attempted to watch "Star Trek - TNG" through the French windows on the television in the sitting room while eating off the dining room table.

I moved sideways to look past him, and he settled down to a more comfortable position which happened to block my view again...

You've done the "cheapest food" in the most expensive store... I think it'd be great to now see a week on yellow stickers from somewhere like Asda, the "cheapest food" in the cheapest supermarket! Just an idea 😊

[@georgewillis2708]

The sticker with “Now...” means it has been reduced further since the original reduction. Most products are reduced before the shop opens in the morning but at 1/2pm, things are reduced further which would be the “Now..” sticker. I’m a M&S employee so this is how I know 👍

[@MrAcook61798]

Am amazed that you found chicken in your turkey sandwich :-)

[@justme002]

I like how £65 is something "I wouldn't want to pay for the entire week." and is how much you spent shopping at a super expensive store you'd never want to shop that often at, yet last week's entirely "not sponsored" week on Musclefood was perfectly reasonable at £75!

[@WaterInmyHands]

At Sainsburys we usually heavily discount stuff towards the end of the day just to get it out of the shop.

[@laurensmart84]

the products that are reduced at the start of the day get reduced more as the day goes on, the reason you see the original price on the wedges here is because it was on it’s second or third reduction of the day, this is why if you go later on you should get bigger reductions but obviously there will be less choice as more will have sold

There are 2 stickers because it has been reduced twice. First reduction is a saving of about 10% normally, second reduction is about 50%, and if its still not gone 3rd reduction can take as much as 90% off the original price. Go in about 1hr before closing time for best prices.

I really enjoyed this week on,one of my favourites so far (I’m catching up after only discovering your channel earlier in the year). I would love you to try this at different stores(although now it’s 2023 and we’re in a cost of living crisis you may need to wear riot gear and possibly carry a weapon before you can actually get any yellow stickers 😆). Also I would love to see a week on Olio food pick ups and a week on a food bank parcel (this one would be quite educational and raise awareness but obviously food parcels need to go to the really needy so you would have to ask them if they would let you do it for your video and perhaps if you did one we subscribers could all donate £1 to their PayPal email to make up for them letting you have one).

[@katsuku]

Compared to prices where I live in Canada this actually doesn't seem that bad of a price. Works out to about $100, and for good brand food. You also don't typically find fresh preprepped meals like a lot of the things you made here, basically they all come frozen. I'm not sure if mentally 1 pound is the equivalent of $1 but I kept thinking to myself that these were good deals the whole time for the most part.
