National Cheese Toastie Day!
I was watching the Budget and someone announced it was National Cheese Toastie Day. Apparently it is Britain’s favourite snack. Nice and cheap as well :) it’s amazing what you can do with a bit of cheese and 2 slices of bread

Asda Christmas Savings Card
I was looking to fill up a bunch of Asda Christmas SAavings cards to earn the £15 on each, however when I read the T&C's I see this:- * To qualify for the bonus on our Christmas Savings Card, you must have saved or spent funds from the 1st January to receive your bonus in November. Does this mean you can no longer purchase…
Tesco app not working
Anyone else unable to login to Tesco app today?
Sainsbury's Substitution Promise isn't what it seems!
Customers who order their shopping online at Sainsbury's (and possibly other supermarkets) should be made aware that the Substitution Promise only applies to the cost of the original items, not the number or weight of the substitutions. For example: If you order two items at £1 each and are sent only one costing £2 you…
ASDA Delivery Pass Renewal
Has anyone had difficulties renewing their delivery pass with ASDA? I received a notification that my payment declined, which I thought odd as I definitely have the funds. I signed in and tried to renew manually with the same result. I updated the card to use my Monzo account and the Monzo app told me the CCV number was…
Clubcard Plus with Click and Collect?
Hi, is the 10% shopping discount of Tesco Clubcard Plus able to be used on Click and Collect orders? It's not clear from the FAQs Thanks
Nectar card "unlinked" from Sainsbury's account
Just finalised my Sainsbury's order for delivery tomorrow and noticed that it wasn't offering to let me spend my Nectar points. If I go into the Nectar section of my account it says that the card is no longer linked to spend points. If I try to link it again it says that it's already linked! It was fine yesterday - anybody…
Free bottle of CBD
If you use CBD, all you need to do is snap a picture of the product you use and send it through to them, then they'll send you a free bottle of their own one. I know CBD isn't for everyone, but for anyone who does use it, a freebie is a freebie! goodbodystore.com/cbdswap/
Price of Butter.
Went into my local Sainsburys this am,got a couple of things and was going to get a 250gram pack of butter. Their own brand Dairy Manor or something has been in recent months or longer circa 50 odd p (more or less same as Lidles). Anyway,it was marked at £ 1.50 aprox. thats up a quid !!!!! Checked Iceland,ditto. Will check…
Nectar Points - Do I get them if I pay with Nectar
Sadly, no double up this year. I normally spend my points on wine. But there's a wine promotion 25% off 6 bottles coming up shortly. If I pay by Nectar points do I still get points for the value of what I buy?
Baked Beans
I couldn't find the old thread about baked beans. I remember posting that we liked the basic ones from Waitrose which were 30p for 400g tin or 4 for £1.10. I'm not a regular Waitrose shopper so just stock up every few weeks. Today I noticed that the beans are now 40p a tin and the multi offer withdrawn. That's a 25%…
Deliveroo groceries - £8 per month worth it?
Recently bought deliveroo plus as I noticed Aldi, Sainsbury's, Morrisons and even some local shops are on it. Great value for £8 (as obviously there's even the option for a takeaway, although I rarely get one), however I've seen a serious lack of products in stock, even basic items like milk and bread. Is this because of…
ICELAND DELIVERY CHANGES
I was watching a documentry about Aldi and Lidl on My5 catchup and there was an ad for Iceland. I noticed that it talked about free next day delivery for a £40 shop. I thought it was £35 so checked the Iceland website. Sure enough, the free delivery threshold has been upped by £5. I don't know when this change happened.and…
