Greggs Belgian Buns
What has happened to the size of these things? They used to be the size of a bin lid and excellent value. I used to roll them home from the shop. Now the things are tiny:mad: It is not just the Belgian buns though. The fudge dohnuts are no where near as good as they used to be.

Watch out for the Amazon Con
I saw XBOX 360 game for £24.95 on Amazon - went to buy it and they brought my attention to the Amazon credit card and said I could have it for £9.95 getting the £15 if I signed up to their card. As a money saver, couldn't resist. It took five days to process by which time the price had increased £15 to £38.95 so I am now…

TV licence by Direct Debit
Hi this is really just a warning for anyone who pays their TV licence by quarterly direct debit. A friend of mine noticed that he's being charged £5 per year (£1.25 per quarter) for paying by this method. The website states: "You’ll pay for your TV Licence in four equal instalments which you pay every three months. Since…

Navman Praise
Last week I purchased a map update disk from Navman for my sat-nav. When it arrived I realised that, because of the company's slightly confusing model numbers, this disk was incompatible with my machine. I contacted their helpline (located I think in Belgium) and they emailed a return address label. I posted the disk off…

Tesco online groceries
I was ordering my shopping online yesterday for delivery this morning. When it came to checkout, I was informed that a few of the money-saving offers would expire by the time my shopping was delivered, therefore I wasn't entitled to them. Surely this is unfair? After all, I paid for my groceries yesterday, when the deal…

Annoying loan text messages
Hi, first post here. Hope this is in the right section. About a month ago I did a search for loans on the internet just to have a look at the kinds of deals available. I wasn't really all that serious about taking a loan out. I assumed that it was just going to do a search for me and show me the results on the website.…

Tesco Reduction Policy/Pricing
Is it set or does it vary by store? My local Tesco has a small section of "last day" reductions, I don't know why they bother with some of them though. A sandwich with a display until date of today was reduced from £1.80 to £1.65. Wow.

Cancer Research rep, Is it a breach of DPA?
A while back we had some door to door fundraisers for cancer reseach, my O/H signed up and gave his details. A little while after someone was sending him messages on FB who he didn't know, they were really quite suggestive messages, he told her to sling her hook and the messages stopped. They've now started again so I…
