How much is too much on food? Swap from Ocado
Hello So we do shop at Ocado and people may scream at me and say it is sooo expensive.

You could save a fourtune!
The current financial climate leaves a lot to desired when trailing the supermarkets for the produce on “special offer”. Enticing the average customer to buy more food than they actually need and in many cases only saving themselves a few pence on purchasing a second item.

Lidl: still a 'deep discounter'?
I normally shop at Mr. S, and sometimes at Mr. A. ! However on a whim yesterday, I decided to do part of my grocery shopping at Lidl. ! I last visited Lidl some 7 or 8 years ago, and from that time I recall a substantial price differential, compared to the 'mainstream' supermarkets. Yesterday's receipt: Bacon bits £1.69…
