Not exclusively because some basics are never reduced - coffee, butter, tinned stuff, flour - but fresh foods like meat, fish, fruit, veg, often bread & cakes and some ready meals are 99% yellow stickered.
My 12.5kg of spuds that I bought on Sunday for £1.60 were marked "Display until 14 November" but there's absolutely nothing wrong with them......and they're huge, perfect for jacket potatoes. They're also "Wonky" potatoes but the only reason I can think of - they're too big!
Shop like your parents did, with your eye, nose and touch - its the best way to tell whether something is fresh enough to eat, not an arbitrary date set by legislation. So much food is wasted because of these almost worthless dates. It really annoys me!!
