Clubcard Challenges
Anyone else doing these? Currently I qualify for 600 points or £6 in vouchers. If I spend £44 on certain items in the next two weeks, this increases to 2950 points or £29.50 in vouchers. As I have two easyJet holidays to pay for this means I get £59 off. I'm sure I could get even more. I haven't actually bought anything I…

Does anyone know if items are not on the shelf, do the pickers check out the back? Maybe someone who picks for online shoppers can answer this.

Lidl - middle aisle (non food)
Hello, I have saw some back to Uni stuff in the magazine. It says the offer starts this Sunday. I don't normally visit the middle aisles in here, does anyone know if the non food offers go out early or am I safe to visit on the Sunday morning? I am worried they sell out quickly as it's a small store and the only one around…

Asda chat
As I can see there is no thread for people who shop at Asda. It's the gem we don't tell people about? IYKYK? A fruit and veg aisle to die for! Kimchi? Steak? Cordial? Asda has it all and more. They've been hit by the recent proce surges of course but a weekly shop here is very reasonable. Our local shop also has a parcel…

Delivery shops - a how to
I want to do my delivery shops for the month and then adjust them. However I don't get paid until Friday. Am I right in thinking that most supermarkets require you to have the funds to check out when you place the order? This is very inconvenient. Do you know why they do this? Thanks 😊

Apple Grocery v Alexa List
Anybody here using Apple Grocery List, what do you think of it ? I’ve it been working with the Alexa app for some time now. If I’m about the house and see something I need to stock upon I simply say ‘Alexa add whatever to shopping list,’ and it’s done, I can do the same when I’m out and about. I generally type it in. Hack:…

Previously, all fresh food (bar fruit and veg) was marked with a freshness guarantee icon ( eg + 1 week) . That has disappeared. I've WhatsApp 'd Tesco and the reply I received was "We have removed the…

Accidental shoplifting
This is something of a money moral dilemma. If you found that the till assistant had somehow managed to not swipe an item, even though they had removed the security tag from said item, what would you do? Say this was a basket of several items and you weren't really paying attention and had asked your companion to actually…

Morrisons rejected substitutes
Hi. Have any Morrisons online shoppers experienced rejected substitutes showing as accepted on their online orders? I've realised today it's happened at least 3 times to me so far this year including yesterday. The emailed receipt shows it as 'changes to your order' but doesn't say accepted and the item doesn't appear in…

Bread Slicer - Lidl
Just returned from our annual trip to France. Every Lidl there has a bread slicer operated by the customer. Why can't they introduce them here? I suppose H & S reasons. I buy 3 loaves of the Low GI Multigrain a week (I am sure it has got smaller again) and I am rubbish at slicing bread. I will write to Lidl customer…
