Supermarket Baskets Self Check outs. Best and worse.
When we only do a top up shop we try and use the supermarket baskets (10 items or less) self check outs. There is usually a member of staff stationed in the area to help you. We have found Sainsburys self check out to be the best and Morrisons by far the worse. If you are lucky you will be able to scan 3 items before…

Asda - one price for you & one price for me....VERY weird.

Remember when noodles....
Remember when Tesco's value noodle packs cost 7p each? It can't have been much more than a year ago. These days they have almost tripled to 20p. Admittedly the other supermarkets have rocketed their budget noodle prices similarly and it makes me wonder what could have caused such a huge increase. Maybe the noodle harvest…
