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…

Anyone else use Miele twindos ?
I recently purchased a high end Miele machine and got free ultraphrase detergent to use with the twindos system and I am so impressed I decided to stock up on more, never going back to regular detergent now :smiley: While it’s not the cheapest, I will only stock up when Miele send me a discount code like they did for Black…

Lapsang Souchong -- where?
We're big tea drinkers and sometimes it has to be Lapsang Souchong... more for Hubby but occasionally I'll have some. Our reserves are depleted and so I went to our Sainsbury's to get some new. Nope. No LS, not from SB, not from Twinings, not from anybody. SB even don't show it in their online search anymore. Tesco should…

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…

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…

Anyway it was nice to get some bargains on food…

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…
