Food shopping & groceries

I was told in Tesco today that as I had used a lot of my Clubcard Christmas savings vouchers on my £85 shop I would not get a refund on two items of clothing I had bought. Except for a very tiny amount, about £3 for £35 worth of clothing. I paid in to the savings scheme, it wasn't free money!

I am trying to register my Nectar card but it asks for a mobile number which I don't have. Has anybody found a way round this?

If you have a Tesco Clubcard, you may soon be able to earn up to £50 in bonus points, as the supermarket is trialling a limited new promotion called 'Clubcard Challenges' for some shoppers. If invited, you'll be able to earn the extra points by hitting certain personalised targets on your spending... Read the full story:…

I didnt know about the reverse advent calendar before, but i think its a great idea. My local supermarket has donation bags by the escalator, you fill up, write whats inside & add a price. I have seen them before just usually buy a couple of extras & put in the trolley by the door. The Trussell Trust is one of their…

I recently got a trade membership at Costco, does anyone know how the whole additional card for family members work. It seems to suggest that any additional cardholder must living at the same address and can only use the local Costco to that address. Is this correct or has anyone managed to get around this?

The Percy Pig Advent Calendar is not Vegan - Bought this for Grandson who has a dairy allergy assuming that all Percy Pig products are Vegan and then discovered it is only the bag of sweets for Xmas day that are Vegan the daily chocolate shapes contain milk. While the ingredient list is correct I'm sure many people will…

.. when I'm averaging two orders a month, every month. Is there a way to see the full order history for the year ? I often make orders that land exactly on the £40 mark and occasionally I'll get items refunded from that order which will drop it below that amount so would that mean it's essentially "struck off" the delivery…

I commented in the past since I am in an Ocado area, subs are extremely rare and usually things are available on the website, but this weekend was a complete mess with no statement from Morrisons, and a refusal from customer support to say whats going on. On making the order for today, about 2/3 of the products on the…

Hello! Every week I get an email from Sainsbury's saying "Smile! Your offers are in" and I click through to see a list of groceries that are at a special price for me, and which items give me extra nectar points. However, for the second week running, if I click on the "see my offers" it simply takes me to a page that says…

We just purchased some French's classic yellow mustard 226g, from Tesco,Cardigan, price matched with Aldi at £1.49, great, we thought, as we were visiting Aldi straight after to complete our weekly shop. Gutted to find Aldi's Bramwells American style mustard £1.49 is 290g !! Unless i'm missing something, this is a massive…

OK so I suspect many of us have seen these before but I'll explain the idea anyways.... The idea is to pick one item every day throughout November and get that for your local Food Bank. Some foodbanks do these things differently - they are simply happy to have those 30 extra items (one for every day of the month) all being…

Hi Does anyone know if Morrisons are offering an discount on their Pass this Black Friday? Last year they offered £25 off a full years Pass. Thanks in advance.

Why do British supermarkets no longer have customer service departments? Yesterday, when I read that Arla Foods (which supplies much of the UK's milk under various brands) has been using the experimental and controversial additive 'Bovaer' in the feed given to cows (and thus the milk and dairy products we buy) I tried…

Loyalty cards offer genuine savings, says watchdog - BBC News I am no great fan of our various watchdogs, some of whom seem more like "sleepdogs". So what's your take on the CMA's findings? We use just two schemes: Nectar for Sainsbury/Argos/eBay and Lidl Plus. Nectar/Sainsbury definitely saves us money... just as examples…

Just had the new Tesco Challenges land in my app (October 2024, not the one from earlier this year). Choose 10 categories, then shop by Nov 10th. My question is is this misleading? Each challenge has a scale, eg Spend £30 = 270 points, £41 = 560 points, £52 = 940 points, heavily implying that if I spend £30 I get 270…

As I am starting to think about my next annual shop, I am curious to know where everyone else will be going this year.

Nescafe coffee (300g) changes price 4-6 time a month at Tesco. Varying from £5.95 to £7.75. How long does a price have to be advertised as a REGULAR price before it becomes a discounted price? I've asked store managers and they say they don't know. Any ideas?

It's been very noticeable over recent weeks that Tesco are restricting delivery of various lower cost items such as butter - and now grapes. What's happening is that the standard priced Tesco items (frequently the ones marked 'Aldi Price Match') are impossible to order, leaving much more expensive products as the only…

We want to cut through the hype and check if Costco’s worth it, so this blog includes tips from how to save £100s on fuel to little-known ways you might be eligible to join. We also put Costco to the test, pitting it against the supermarkets and spot-checking prices for 30 items. We'd love to hear your must-follow tips…

Is anyone else having a problem with their web site? I have a delivery slot booked for Christmas but cannot amend my order due to an error message. Sainsbury's technical support appear to be ignoring complaints.
