There is nothing better than finding a bargain but now supermarket workers have shared the extreme lengths shoppers go to to try and cheat the system to get discount.
It comes after one store noticed a growing trend in customers snapping the stalks off broccoli to decrease the weight - resulting in a sign being put up to warn they would charge double if shoppers were caught in the act.
According to MirrorOnline one former supermarket manager says another of the most common scams was customers pulling discount stickers off one item and placing it on another.
Customers would often eat fruit on the way round the shop, such as a banana, and then simply weigh the peel when it came time to pay.
People would also bash holes in packaging, such as cereal boxes, before trying to claim a discount on the item.
The former manager added shoppers would often grab the largest apple or banana they could find, eat it, and then dig out the smallest piece of fruit as substitute for staff to weigh instead, claiming it was identical to the one they had already scoffed.
Although the cost of what the customers were getting away with each visit was insignificant, it all adds up.
