Discount sticker
Discount stickers are a price markdown that are used to alert shoppers to goods which have been reduced in price, such as food approaching its sell-by date or inventory in discount clothing or outlet stores. Some stores, especially discount clothing stores, have been accused of using discount stickers to create the impression of price markdowns when there is none.
In certain contexts, specific types of stickers have had additional meaning. For example, yellow stickers are used for this purpose by several British supermarket chains, including Asda, Sainsbury's, and Tesco. Post Brexit cost of living increases in the UK, have highlighted the importance of "yellow sticker shopping" as a way to deal with real price increases.
Marking down food prices at grocery stores allows for the stores to better manage their stock, and ensure some return on value of the good. Especially for food that are perishable or has expiration dates, having an inventory management strategy that includes markdowns reduces food waste, simplifies inventory management and increases the likelihood of some profitability when satisfying a consumer need or demand for discounted prices.
Improvements in the early 2000s to inventory management software has made applying discounts to perishable goods easier. When consumers understand this practice of creating discounts on foods after perishability dates, the discounts don't harm consumer perceptions of the brands marked down.
Yellow stickers have been used in Australia, including at Woolworths supermarkets.
Looking for yellow sticker-tagged items has been noted as a way to save money when shopping in Japan. One chain, Gyomu Super, has chosen to allow consumers to pick which items they place their sticker on, allowing customers to markdown up to 4 items.
In the United Kingdom, the stickers have been in use since at least 1993 when a director of J Sainsbury supermarkets wrote to The Times, in response to a customer complaint, to explain that a "bright yellow sticker" was placed across the item's original barcode to prevent it being scanned at the original price.
In 1999, Lynne Truss referenced yellow stickers in an article in The Times lamenting the low quality of a football team, as though they had been picked at Asda at yellow-sticker time before their shelf life expired. In 2013, journalist Candida Crewe explained in The Times that she was able to live the "high life", despite having little money, by using a variety of money-saving techniques that included being "addicted to those cheerful yellow 'reduced' stickers at the end of a supermarket's day", loyalty cards, and wearing only black.
