Beef Fillet
Hi all. In an effort to take the pressure off turkeys this Christmas I have managed to source a beautiful whole beef fillet. It is currently frozen and is probably twice the size it needs to be in order to serve its intended audience on Christmas Day. So my dilemmas are: 1. Should I invest in a butcher’s saw and cut it…

It currently has "over 1000" discounts of 25% off certain items. These change each month and each discount is one-time only per user, but…

Milk Portions
Tesco has a net of five milk Lactofree portions for 75p but according to Trolley, no other supermarket sells milk portions of any kind. Checked Costco and they don't either. Found a company in Scotland which sells Irish whole milk portions from Lakeland Dairies, 120 x 12ml for 2.89 but delivery is 4.99. Amazon has a few…

Morrisons grocery delivery service woes
Hi I shop weekly in store at Morrisons but very occasionally do an online order (once every few months) Never really had any problems before with Morrisons - if the driver was a bit behind I'd get a text with a revised time window, all good. This current experience though has been an absolute stinker! Delivery was supposed…

Not For EU Food
Last night, I had Deliveroo and a movie. My Deliveroo order included Co-op British pork cocktail sausages. Nothing on the Deliveroo or Co-op websites but in the bottom right hand corner, on the use by panel, it had Not For EU on it. Though the government will surely try weasel words, this phrase means that UK food…

Sainsbury's Nectar
I used my nectar points to the value of £124 to purchase on click and collect 3 days ago. All went fine but this morning I've been notified that my order has been cancelled, good job I wasn't waiting for food! Ok I thought, there's obviously a problem, I'll call in to store later and get the wine I ordered then. Wrong -…

Where to buy small samples of variety coffee beans?
Hi. I can't seem to find a supplier that sells small quantities of a variety of coffee bean samples. Can anyone recommend one please? Have occasionally bought beans from the supermarkets , only to find I didn't like them. If I could just buy small samples , then it wouldn't really be such a bad thing if I wasnt keen on…

Sainsbury's pricing
Is it legal for sainsbury to show a price on each item in your online shopping basket, and then charge a different but unidentifiable price on your actual bill when the shopping is delivered? For example, they recently had £12 meal deals plus 25% off wine. I ordered a meal deal and the discounted prices for each item were…

Personalised loyalty card discounts. Are they ethical?
I'm used to getting vouchers at the till for my next visit, but I expect that the price I'm charged at checkout will be the same as the person next to me. Loyalty cards hit the press this year with reports that prices were being inflated so that loyalty cards looked to be like savings, but last month I had a notice from…

Nectar points problem
Hello, Not sure if this is the correct board for this thread or not. I have collected some 23,000 nectar points worth £115 but have been unable to spend them. Sainsburys told me to contact nectar and when I tried to create vouchers on ebay it says that I need to contact the primary cardholder to request permission to spend…

Monthly food shopping bill - couple
We eat well, lots of veg and salad....but with the joint account needing to be bailed out again, we've just been looking at our outgoings and it turns out that my other half's 'top up' shopping is costing as much as all of our other shopping, which I do 90% of. We shop between Aldi, Lidl and Sainsbury's depending on what…

Anyone else sick and tired of holes in bread and apples in supermarkets ?
Im sick and tired of seeing lots of bread with at least one tiny hole in the plastic so it goes off very soon, and I'm fed up of buying packs of 4 big apples so when you open them, two of the apples have a hole in, you can't check the apples properly before buying because the wrapping hides the holes or bruises. People are…

Water Filter cartridges
We’ve always used Brita cartridges in our water filter jug but since they went ‘green’ with a new filling they don’t last five minutes and the price is ridiculous. We’ve tried a couple of cheaper generic ones but honestly I could have knitted the Forth Bridge waiting for water to filter through one and the other just…
