Online shopping question
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.

Lidl - middle aisle (non food)
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…

Asda chat
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…

Morrisons rejected substitutes
Hi. Have any Morrisons online shoppers experienced rejected substitutes showing as accepted on their online orders? I've realised today it's happened at least 3 times to me so far this year including yesterday. The emailed receipt shows it as 'changes to your order' but doesn't say accepted and the item doesn't appear in…

Accidental shoplifting
This is something of a money moral dilemma. If you found that the till assistant had somehow managed to not swipe an item, even though they had removed the security tag from said item, what would you do? Say this was a basket of several items and you weren't really paying attention and had asked your companion to actually…

Best own brand supermarket white chocolate
Hi, Can anyone recommend the best supermarket own brand white chocolate? For general eating but also sometimes melting for baking. I did really like the Sainsbury’s blue bar that was £2.30 but looks like just been discontinued and replaced with a new product with a different recipe and lower milk solids % (now 18% versus…

Dynamic pricing at Ocado
I have had an account at Ocado for many years and because of a reduction in income, I have also reduced the number of orders I do each month. My friend who lives next door also uses Ocado and she will ask me if I want to add to her order if my order is below £40. I will transfer my order to my friends, leave mine in my…

By chance 1st thing this morning I logged onto my account & noticed a message saying payment could not be taken using my card. It is my normal card which I…

Supermarket workers, will you share your tips with us?
Supermarket workers, I'm keen to hear any tips you have for shoppers. Where you work, is there a best time for yellow sticker food? Is there a lesser-known loyalty card perk you think more people should use? When does your biggest stock-up happen? Any handy insider tricks you're able to send our way? Many thanks, MSE Laura

Tesco Whoosh delivery.
Whoosh delivery is only available for what appear to be more expensive items. For instance you can buy Nescafe coffee but you cannot buy Tesco own brand. You can buy Tesco Salted Butter at £2.20 on Whoosh. Buy it on a normal delivery and it is £1.99 Aldi price match. Lots of other examples of the higher prices for Whoosh…

Bread Slicer - Lidl
Just returned from our annual trip to France. Every Lidl there has a bread slicer operated by the customer. Why can't they introduce them here? I suppose H & S reasons. I buy 3 loaves of the Low GI Multigrain a week (I am sure it has got smaller again) and I am rubbish at slicing bread. I will write to Lidl customer…

S'bury Organic Chicken Breast - difficult to leave a review
I bought this yesterday (Nectar discount) - stir fried it and it was tough, woody and tasteledss. Anybody else found this? I also found it impossible to leave a review, even though I can log in to S'bury. Tomorrow I will take back the remaining chicken breast with packaging and receipt and get a refund. Awful product.

Tesco delivery if I was delayed getting home
Idle curiosity really. I have a big Tesco delivery (over £200) booked for a fixed hour slot 5-6 this afternoon. I also have an appointment on Portland at 2 o’clock, which should take about 90 minutes. Yesterday there was an incident which resulted in the only road on or off the island being closed for just over an hour.…

Shopping receipt apps
There are apps like Shopmium, Checkoutsmart and Green Jinn that apparently give you cashback in return for scanning your receipt. I was just wondering if anyone uses these, and if so, are they any use?
