Tesco - Pilgrims' Choice Mature/Extra Mature cheddar

Free bakers yeast at supermarkets (as it used to be)
For many years supermarkets would give you a bit of fresh baking yeast if you asked. Them Morrison’s began to sell it as a product & their bakery staff were not allowed to hand out chunks cut off the blue wrapped block. Last week, Asda staff stopped - on Management Instructions. I tried again yesterday & the baker I…

Bacardi rums £11-24 @ Lidl
Bacardi rum in Lidl, two types: Carta Negra and Oakheart, both at £11-24/bottle (70cl). A great buy if that's your thing though it might be store specific.

sugar-free chewing gum (non aspartame)
I need to find a new source of sugar free chewing gum but it needs to be free of aspartame. I used to use LIDL but they replaced their range and now it's all aspartame. Currently using Wrigleys Extra (Soft), but it's expensive. Only alternatives I can find are even more expensive. Anyone knows of something, I'm desperate…

Horlicks traditional
Morning everyone, I know it’s a silly time of day but I’ve just got in from work and have settled down in bed with my book and a cup of Horlicks and it just doesn’t taste right! I bought a tub from Tesco a couple of weeks ago and that tasted strange. I assumed I might have found one from a dodgy batch so bought another,…

Pointless reductions with thing(s) missing
I'm not talking something with a few pence off, but things in the supermarkets' reduced section because it had something important missing. My example is this https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/302808925 In a Co-op near me, the bunny is missing (probably nicked) and it's £6 full price. In the reduced section,…
min spend online sane amount not £40+ where?
So all the supermarkets now seem to want to cater to families or rich single people only, £40 min or £25 min with large premium on delivery. A way round it is to order less often, but means issues getting things like milk when disabled. Also means a less healthy diet, as then buying things like fresh fruit and salad less…

LIDL Super Weekend Saturday 9th March - Sunday 10th March
Just what i am interested in, not all the deals : Maasdam Slices 400g £1.04 Was £2.09 Same price as emmental was a couple of months ago, 2.6 pounds/kg Some cheese like Maasdam ressembles Swiss cheese, with large holes that appear during the ripening process and a sweet, nutty flavour. This is because it contains the same…
