Lidl has a special 'reduction hour' when prices are slashed across the store

If you love a good bargain, you'll understand the pure joy that comes with being in a supermarket when reduced sticker items are being added to shelves.

There really is no better feeling than getting what should be an expensive shop for absolute peanuts, so knowing what time to head to your favourite stores can be an absolute goldmine.

Now we know the best times to shop at Lidl for some orange sticker goodness, but if you want to make the most of it, you'll have to set an early alarm.

According to shoppers, the best time to head to Lidl for reduced-price goods is actually 7-8am, when most stores open.

Many people think that the best time is late at night, but that's not the case with many of the chain's supermarkets.

The time at which items are reduced is store-dependent, so if you want to bag yourself some great deals you might have to shop around a bit to work out the best time to go.

If you want one-off 'middle of Lidl' specials, you're best heading to the supermarket on Thursdays and Sundays, as that's when all the new limited edition products are released in stores.

Lidl's website will keep you updated with all its best middle of Lidl offers, so you don't need to miss out on anything.

Aldi also has a 'secret bargain hour' when plenty of items are reduced in stores.

Several shoppers have reported finding items with 50% off labels at opening time - which is 8am for many stores across the UK.

It does vary from store to store, so you're best contacting your local branch if you want to find out the best time to go to get your hands on stickered items.

Speaking about the reduction hour, a spokesperson for Aldi said: "All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates."
