Lidl or Iceland - which is cheaper or better ?
Evening, I've never posted in this part of MSE before so forgive me if this is a bit of a naive question...

We are dedicated Lidl shoppers both for…

Bell Peppers
We eat A LOT of peppers, use them in almost every meal but noticed the sizes are getting smaller in the packs of 3 and to get the bigger peppers (which is the size they used to once be) stores are charging more. Trying to budget what we spend on food every month, have cut out a lot of waste so far but I wondered if anyone…

Iceland Chicken Burgers - Where Have They Gone?
Is it just me who's noticed they are all now out of stock of the chicken burgers? I love their spicy chicken burgers but they also don't even have their normal regular cheapo iceland chicken burgers in.. they was excellent value at £2 a pop. Anyone know why? and if they are coming back? EU supplier issue?

Tesco now as cheap as Aldi?

Now Tesco have the same under their "Creamfields" brand. And also the Frozen milk lce lollies (85p) at Aldi, are now also at Tesco under the "Ms Mollys" brand at the same…

Oily fish in Asian supermarkets
As someone who has lived in east central London for almost 20 years I have discovered tons of Asian supermarkets, I have spent a lot of time researching all the spices and seeds, nuts available in them and there asian names - a good few of these Asian supermarkets have as much food items & in some cases possibly more than…

Worms in supermarket vacuum packed Fish: probably very common :eek:
When I was a kid, my parents used to cook everything well-done. I became a bit more sophisticated with rare meats and sushi, but I realised this lunchtime that I was forgetting a few important things when I discovered a live worm coiled up on my vacuum or gas pre-packed fresh cod fillets :eek: It was exactly like this one…

Pearce and Duffs Blancmange
I discovered by accident that one of my grandsons likes their chocolate one (he was at my house in the week and tried it from the fridge) I looked in My Supermarket site and it seems as only Sainsburys seemed to stock it .This morning after dropping another grandson to work I nipped in to the local one and low and behold…

No more Clubcard Wombling!
The other half gave her receipt from Tesco telling me to go back in and add the points as she forgot to take our clubcard in to the store. I was surprised to hear that due to clubcard rules they can't add the points from just any receipt. This surprised me because i have got them added at the desk before and i think there…

Do you want a receipt? Yes I need to check.
It's understandable that supermarkets and us seek to minimise waste and environmental impact. Thermally printed receipts are not particularly environmentally friendly. However, about one in five of my transactions are scanned incorrectly. Sainsbury's smaller stores are especially poor, as are most Coops, and need to be…

Online Fishmongers
I wanted to try an online Fishmonger as it's not always possible to get fresh fish and I would like to try different types (and get some usual fish). I don't know much about online fish mongers, does anyone know of any good places to buy from? I'm assuming the fish is still fresh. Any advice or suggestions gratefully…

I quote: We found a pack of 300 cotton buds for 55p in the baby aisle at Tesco. The buds look and feel the same as the pack of 200 that cost £1.50…

Gherkins
Hi all, After trying the gherkins in Subway sandwiches, I love them! I've always thought they would have tasted awful but that is not the case. I got a jar of baby pickled gherkins from Aldi but they were very crunchy. Does anyone know where they sell softer ones? The Aldi ones felt like I was crunching through an apple…
