Just to be clear I don’t necessarily think it’s morally wrong but AIBU polls don’t really work on uncertainty do they?
Basically I feel morally conflicted about buying discounted food in the supermarkets, particularly now during the cost of living crisis.
I’m not on a tight budget, but I do LOVE a good bargain. Few things beat the thrill of finding profiterole stack reduced to 25p.
But should I be thinking about people who might be depending on picking up such bargains just to make their food budget stretch.
I often shop in Waitrose and frankly think that most people who shop in Waitrose aren’t on the breadline. But I shop in Lidl as well and feel maybe I should be leaving the Lidl bargains for someone else.
Or should I just crack on, enjoy my bargains and focus on the fact I’m reducing food waste?
YANBU - leave the yellow stickers for those who need them
YABU - enjoy the bargains
