Standard 145g chocolate orange 95p from £2.50 until Sun 11 Oct.

Hi, I went into a well known high street shop on Friday at 0700 hrs and ordered takeaway food and coffee. After drinking the coffee, I began to feel like a burning, painful sensation in the lower regions of my gullett. I believe that they must have washed the coffee machine with dishwasher detergent but forgotten to rinse…

Under Lidl's revamped loyalty scheme, which launched today (Tuesday 5 May), you now earn points for each pound spent, which you can either convert into money-off coupons or use to claim 'freebies'. But Lidl shoppers say they may now need to spend £10s or even £100s more to earn similar discounts to those they'd earn under…

morning all, So I took the recent wine wharehouse deal and received it already ! great . Did anyone else have a payment taken from their account to "wines of the world" on the same day ? Its only for £11.93 but seems strange its on the same day as the Virgin wine payment and I have never heard of them before (totally…

Does anyone know if items are not on the shelf, do the pickers check out the back? Maybe someone who picks for online shoppers can answer this.

Back in 2009 I used to get the largest tub of 2.3kg Optimum Nutrition Whey protein for about £36 from Tropicana Fitness. Nowadays I am reminded in the shops about it but you're looking at a tiny bag for the same price now. Anyone got any tips to find value for money? Are supermarkets ripping us off?

Asda has rolled out its 'Asda Rewards' loyalty scheme nationwide after trialling it in a small number of stores in England. The move means shoppers across the UK can now earn money-off vouchers to use towards their shopping at the supermarket chain. Read the full story: 'Asda launches first-ever loyalty scheme offering…

Just seen Waitrose Christmas 2026 Delivery Slots have been opened for booking. However note the delivery fee is raised from the normal £2 or £4 upto £6 or £7 over this period, depending on date. Don’t recall them doing this previously. I phoned customer services and they had to speak with another dept who advised it’s to…

My midweek pass is due for renewal in the next few days & I was intending to upgrade to a 7 day pass . However I am now seeing this message.. Delivery Pass Information We've paused the sale of our Delivery Pass applications for the moment. We'll continue to review this to make sure that we're best supporting our elderly…

Has anyone else noticed milk going off quicker recently? I'm talking about fresh milk from a new bottle that's well in date, not stuff that's been sitting for days. I've stopped buying it from my local convenience store because over a couple of weeks something like 1 in 3 bottles was already curdling when first opened. But…

https://toogoodtogo.org/en You sign up on the app and supermarkets (from my use of the app its Spar, Co-op and Budgens), independent shops and some eating chains. For a few pounds - you can buy items of food that would have gone to landfill. It's known by TGTG as a 'magic bag'. A friend of a friend uses it most weeks and…

I was wondering if anyone has inside information on dates for 20% off clothing and 25% off wine and champagne. Thank you

Anyone else doing these? Currently I qualify for 600 points or £6 in vouchers. If I spend £44 on certain items in the next two weeks, this increases to 2950 points or £29.50 in vouchers. As I have two easyJet holidays to pay for this means I get £59 off. I'm sure I could get even more. I haven't actually bought anything I…

We want to cut through the hype and check if Costco’s worth it, so this new guide includes tips including how qualify without realising & petrol savings alone can pay for the membership. We also put Costco to the test, pitting it against the supermarkets for festive faves, from fizz to pigs-in-blankets. We'd love to hear…

Hello, I have saw some back to Uni stuff in the magazine. It says the offer starts this Sunday. I don't normally visit the middle aisles in here, does anyone know if the non food offers go out early or am I safe to visit on the Sunday morning? I am worried they sell out quickly as it's a small store and the only one around…

As I can see there is no thread for people who shop at Asda. It's the gem we don't tell people about? IYKYK? A fruit and veg aisle to die for! Kimchi? Steak? Cordial? Asda has it all and more. They've been hit by the recent proce surges of course but a weekly shop here is very reasonable. Our local shop also has a parcel…

I want to do my delivery shops for the month and then adjust them. However I don't get paid until Friday. Am I right in thinking that most supermarkets require you to have the funds to check out when you place the order? This is very inconvenient. Do you know why they do this? Thanks 😊
