Supermarkets Mislabelling of Food Prices
This relates mostly to Lidl but also to Aldi, as that is where I do most, if not all shopping these days. With food prices rising weekly, I am finding that these supermarkets are not displaying accurate prices for groceries. It seems that every week there are issues with my receipt, and I either have to suck it up and…

ALDI Charged Us Twice For Our Shopping
Being charged twice at ALDI doesn't appear to be an experience unique to us, indeed the thread on this forum dates back to 2014 and elsewhere on the web, indicates it is a not infrequent occurrence for people across the country. I noted the duplicate payment on our banking app and returned to the store (Northampton) a…

How to decipher Asda codes on fresh produce?
Asda have removed the expiry dates from sealed bags of kale. This is a problem for me, as I have severe food intolerances and kale is one of the few green vegetables I can eat. In a week, I usually go through 4 bags. In the past, I'd always buy the ones with the later dates and they'd last a whole week. But now, their…

Sainsbury’s discount or no discount
Who knew that you don’t get the meal deal or wine discount at all if one of your items from your online order is unavailable on the delivery day? I’ve been buying the £12 meal deal and 25% off 6 x wine for ages but only noticed this week. I ordered 6 bottles of wine and on the delivery day one bottle was not available so…

Sainsbury’s- Payment Problem
Good Evening If anyone shops at Sainsbury’s online you might know they have some serious issues this week. It seemed to start on Monday when shoppers were trying to checkout.

WARNING: If You Are Buying Petrol In Tesco Unlink Any Conditional Spend Coupons From Your Clubcard
Filled up in Tesco today. Had a £5 off £50 spend coupon linked to my Clubcard. Noticed my receipt showed 5 points less than expected. Checked my Tesco app and noticed the £5 coupon had gone and showing as used today. So the petrol spend had used the coupon but not deducted it from the spend, as it is not an eligible…

Smell from Lidl Concentrated detergent (liquid)
One of the advantages of using Lidl was that they sold Formil a washing detergent (powder or liquid) which doesn't (didn't?) have a powerful smell like most of the other types of detergent. I've just bought their newish non-bio super-concentrated version and this seems to have the same repulsive smell as the big brands.…

Possible phishing email (Tesco) - Turned out to be a false alarm.
I've received an email purportedly, and indeed quite possibly, from Tesco but I'm not convinced. It's come from info@email.tesco.com whereas I can only see that I've had them from @mail.tesco.com previously. This has gone to an email address that I rarely get spam into and they've got my first and last name correct so I'm…

Delivery Passes
Just an observation, but I see that Asda now only seem to offer 12 month delivery passes (which are more expensive than the old 6 monthly ones). Tesco offer both 6 & 12 month still, but "from 2 May, the minimum basket charge is increasing to £5. The minimum basket value for home delivery will increase to £50, Click+Collect…

Just a tip if you like extra mature cheddar
I think we MSE'ers often overlook Waitrose, but it is my nearest supermarket and they do have one or two bargains in their 'Essentials' range. They have been promoting the fact that they have reduced the price of 100s of these products. One such is the Essentials Extra Mature Cheddar. New price £4.75 for 750g (£6.34/kg).…

Tissue paper under minced beef in sealed tray!
Hi. Anyone know why Morrison's supermarket butchers counter minced beef has tissue paper under it at bottom of tray?
