Natwest Frauid team block my Morrisons order
I am new to Morrisons online shopping but was lucky enough to have a grocery delivery slot booked both for myself and mum (she's 92). Slot was for tomorrow evening. Morrisons must have just done the picking and tried to process payment and at 12:30am in the morning Natwest block the payment because it's triggered their…
Buying "special" cheese online
Looking for a nice cheese collection, something you cannot get from a supermarket. Any suggestions/recommendations? (The OH's birthday is very soon).
Price increases due to Covid 19 and/or shortages
I usually buy spuds in 2kg pack for 69p in Home Bargains. Called in on my way home from work on Monday and while the spuds section seemed to be plentiful, my usual pack were priced at £1.29 !!! I've also noticed that other stores are moving products around are SELs missing, have already had a couple of surprises regarding…
Restrictions on number of items that can be purchased
I've been looking around on the internet but I can't find a definitive answer, so don't know if anyone here can help? Most supermarkets have introduced restrictions on the number of items that can be purchased by one person (I think Tesco is 3, M&S is 2 etc) however, what does it mean by the same item? Is that the same…
Parsnips and pears, anyone?
Has anyone used this company? They deliver fruit and veg, as their name suggests. I put in an order last Wednesday and got a confirmation email from Shopify. Their website says the delivery day for my area is Saturday. I appreciate they are very busy and it may still arrive today, but I am worried as I tried to log back…
Asda stopped selling their own cheaper brands?
Whether it is cornflakes, bake beans or whatever I can no longer find Asda own brands or cheaper brands on sale, which normally sell for at least half price. Plenty of bake beans for sale today but they are all Heinz. Now I was reading that supermarkets are cutting back on duplicate products so to ease the supply chain but…

Supermarket's early opening times for pensioners

New to online supermarket shopping-any tips?
I am trying to do some shopping for my elderly mum and wanting to avoid any crowded supermarkets so I have become an online grocery shopping virgin! I naively thought that if I placed my order and paid for it then the items which were in stock at that time would be reserved for my delivery but clearly I have been an idiot…
Asda website down?
Just completing an order, got as far as putting in CVC number and it crashed, now just get a we're fixing something message!
Reusable boil in a bag rice?
Does anyone know where and how you can get re-usable bags for rice? It'd be super useful if you could just keep boiling the same bag, or not so ideally if you can bulk buy x bags that are disposable I've seen some bags, but they're microwave steam bags and it's just never as good as boiled rice

Half-price large Easter eggs at Tesco

You'll be able to buy large-size Easter eggs including Celebrations, Creme Egg, Aero and more for £2 instead of £4. The offer's running online and in store (find your nearest)…
Quorn sausages - are they extinct?
Anybody know what's happened to the plain ordinary 8-in-a-bag Quorn frozen sausages? Nobody round here's had any for weeks ...
Tesco increase item 30% so they can label it 'Aldi Price Match'
Dispicable. Tesco Basics/Hearty Food Co. sweet and sour sauce 440g has been 40p or less for years now. I took a pic of it, but the only improvement the new site makes (i.e. the ability to upload direct from your phone) doesn't work. I really despise this new site, and will be posting on it as little as possible.
