Nectar Bonus points
I’ve always shopped mostly at Sainsbury’s and I collect Avios for flights so was happy when they were linked. I usually receive 15 to 20 bonus offers. Last week only 9, 5 of which I have never purchased. This week 5, 3 of which I never purchase. Are bonus offers being phased out? I usually spend £80-100 each week. I’ve…

Asda Grocery refund not being applied back to the gift card
Quite a long one this one, so here goes. My work offer an incentive whereby if you buy your gift cards for certain UK supermarkets, you get a bit of cashback. I use ASDA religiously and can get anywhere between 3-5% cashback on my shopping, which is a big help with COLC and all that. I noticed that recently, whenever…

I thought this might be a useful thread as so many well-known brands can be twice the price of supermarket own brands here are two of my favourites; Lidl 'Alesto' salted and dry roast peanuts are much nicer than KP ones Lidl 'Rivercote' sesame crispbread are much nicer than Ryvita What own brands do you favour?

What to do when nectar price isn't applied?
I went to Sainsburys on Friday and saw a product that usually costs £7.75, but with a nectar price of £7. It's a bit of a favourite in our house, so I bought 10 of them, which should have given a discount of £7.50, but when I checked the receipt, I had been charged full price on all of them. Previously when I've had an…

Hi all. I'm tempted to join Just Eat plus as it appears to offer 3 months of "FREE" delivery for just £5.99. This sounds too good to be true.Does anybody know if the FREE bit includes service charge, Just Eat's fee AND the take away companies fee ?

Tesco - cheaper prices for online delivery
Why are Tesco offering cheaper prices for some items if you order them online for delivery? I am an OAP who cannot warrant a full shop being delivered - and I don't want to anyway - so have to pay the full price in their shops. My current ran tis that Muller Light yoghurts are £2.50 if you order online but £4.00 if you buy…

Tesco home deliveries - are they dumping short-dated stuff on customers at home?
Yet again a load of short-dated produce this morning, all Best Before 13 July (tomorrow). Makes an absolute mockery of Tesco’s claims that their pickers always select the best items and the longest dates. Happens very regularly, and my guess is that pickers are being instructed by store managers to get rid of the short…

ASDA Pricing model
I get the feeling that asda have done something to their pricing. Im sure that before most of the prices ended in a 5, 0 or 9 but nowadays it seems that they are all mixed up like £2.57 or £1.03 this makes it hard for me to compare prices and to keep a mental track of how much i am spending as i go around the shop Am i…

What's the strangest / quirkiest vending machine you've seen?
I was at a suburban railway station yesterday that had a vending machine selling frozen ready meals: These days I know it's fairly common in rural areas for farms to have vending machines for dairy products and fresh fruit/veg. I've even seen a vending machine for farm-fresh milk in quite an urban shopping centre. 20 years…

The Great 'shrinking food and other items' Hunt
The Great 'shrinking food' Hunt Revisited We featured this hunt back in 2010 (see original thread), but it seems manufacturers are up to their old tricks again by dropping products’ sizes while keeping prices the same (one forumite's spotted loaves of bread dropping from 800g to 750g). We want to know which foods you've…

Sainsbury's gift card conversion to coupon bug
I regularly convert a £400 Sainsbury's gift card to coupons on my grocery account because I get 5% off the gift cards with my work scheme. I've always been suspicious that I'm missing coupons here and there and not realising. A few months ago, I finally decided to check, I added up the coupons and it was only £330, £70…
