What's the strangest / quirkiest vending machine you've seen?
I was at a suburban railway station yesterday that had a vending machine selling frozen ready meals: These days I know it's fairly common in rural areas for farms to have vending machines for dairy products and fresh fruit/veg. I've even seen a vending machine for farm-fresh milk in quite an urban shopping centre. 20 years…

Frozen turkey crown

In particular at ASDA and Sainsburys. These are all grade A British turkey. Morrison £17.00 ASDA £16.01 Tesco £13.20 - with Clubcard…

What to do when nectar price isn't applied?
I went to Sainsburys on Friday and saw a product that usually costs £7.75, but with a nectar price of £7. It's a bit of a favourite in our house, so I bought 10 of them, which should have given a discount of £7.50, but when I checked the receipt, I had been charged full price on all of them. Previously when I've had an…

Food Cupboard Items Reduced.
My wife was in our local M&S Foodhall yesterday and noticed a few of their regular food cupboard items heavily reduced, could not work out why as the best before dates were up to 2027 on some items, can only think they are wanting to free up shelf space for Christmas stock. Anyway it was nice to get some bargains on food…

Clubcard Challenges
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…

I've reduced by food shop by 63% just by switching to non branded food.
1 year ago I was almost always buying branded food, mcVities, Walkers, McCain's, Heinz etc basically everything was branded, even bread. Now I've switched out almost every branded item for a non branded variant and my monthly food spend has dropped from £400 to £150. Now I only ever buy the Tesco branded option, or…

Protein drinks
I thought that being old, almost vegetarian and not fond of nuts might mean I was short of protein and was tempted by an end of line offer on a 'protein hot chocolate' powder until I looked a bit closer. I've seen the same thing at up to £20, so £2 a serving to give 20g of protein, but found that two mugs of bog standard…

Why don't supermarkets make meat packaging to keep portions separate.
I throw away quite a bit of meat. I could go to butchers and get single portions but supermarket is easier and i think cheaper. But say like me you buy 8 chicken thighs in the carton (Aldi £2.99) and eat two today , the packaging says once opened use in 24hrs. They could be unopened and last a few days , so why can't they…

It seems to spend nectar points in store ie for money off shopping you will now have to physically swipe your nectar card down the side of the till. Whereas to get points you just scan a qr code!
