I can't believe it but I have managed to spot a slightly better deal than the Massive Tesco points loophole. Spend £27, get 6 bottles of wine & £36 Tesco Rewards deal.

Extra Tesco Clubcard points on nuts/mixed
In Tesco today I noticed that there were several bags of nuts/fruit + nut mixes with extra clubcard points being offered... ranging from 20 extra points to 100.

Heinz baked beans at Tesco

Seeds/nuts/dried fruit in bulk?
Don't those healthy things from Holland and Barrett seem expensive? I'm sure the people who make those health food bars won't pay the same price in tonnes for seeds and bits that we pay for in a bag of trail mix.

Asda home delivery question...
I had my shopping delivered for the 3rd time by Asda, Friday just gone. What's the crack with the delivery driver? The first 2 times, they brought the bags and left them inside the front door in the hallway, which was fine because I could then sort them out at my own pace once driver had gone. On Friday, there was a young…
Tesco - the last straw!
I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this but in our area (Norfolk) our local Tesco has started to clampdown on the time taken for each delivery. 6 minutes is what's allowed, which wasn't a problem for us as we were rotating our boxes which was lucky as we have six or seven boxes a week to unpack which takes about…
Strawberry picking
Hi , I don't know if anyone is interested but I was quite amazed at this so thought I would share with everyone. Me and my dad went Strawberry picking today (probably the worst day we could have gone because of the heat but there we go) . We paid £1.00 per punnet and I would say we got about 50 strawberrys per punnet ,…

Online grocery shopping - not major supermarkets
Hi, Does anyone know of any online grocery stores that deliver in scotland? I'm not on the delivery route for any of the major supermarkets - I've looked at approved foods but they dont seem to have flour/sugar type products? I'm particularly looking for bread flour, sugar, baking supplies generally - we have a good…

I have a JO (Jamie Oliver) recipe that requires Orecchiette pasta. The only place I can find this is Waitrose & its £2.49 for a small 500g bag:eek: I've always thought all pasta was the same, just different shapes?
