Morrisons Fuel Offer Anomaly
As most people are probably aware Morrisons are offering 6p per litre off fuel with a £40 shop this week. I went shopping yesterday and decided to split my shop into £40 segments.

Morrisons Online Service?
I am in a bit of a quandary. I have been paying £60 for six months delivery saver from Tesco and have been using this for a year.

Misleading offer in Waitrose - advice please
Hi, So Waitrose isn't my usual shop (no surprise I guess) but it has offers on washing powder and an extra 20% off for mywaitrose card holders.

Just Placed My First Online Grocery Order
I've just placed my first online grocery order. It's a trial and I'm running with Asda. Any tips on how to get the best out of household/grocery shopping online?
