Shrinkflation
Something that puzzles me, when food inflation is worked out do they take shrinkflation into consideration. If they don't look at weights etc then surely food inflation would be far worse.

Lidl Plus - joint account for husband and wife?
Apologies if this is the wrong board - please move if necessary. I'm in the dark about how I can add points from the shopping I do at Lidl to those obtained by OH. He already has a Lidl Plus account on his phone. What do I need to do, please? Lidl and their FAQs do not make it clear, at all. Perhaps it's not possible?

What's the best dupe you've tried?
Lidl's dupe of Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, 'Suddenly'? Aldi's dupe of Fanta, 'Vive Orange'? What dupes - or simply alternatives - have you been impressed by?

The Polish Bakery - disappeared?
Does anybody know what's happened to 'The Polish Bakery' products in the supermarkets? I went to do my weekly online shop at Asda today to find that all their products have vanished. Same story at the other big supermarkets. You can find them via Google, for example:…

Clubcard Points Ratios?
How many points per pound do you earn in clubcard points using a Tesco bank card vs another payment that is non-tesco credit card (in my case that is American Express)? In other words will I now not be earning as many clubcard points using my AE card to pay for my food shopping each week vs using my Tesco Bank card to pay…

Sneaky Marks and Spencer pricing, including Dine In
In the Bletchley M&S, they have misleading pricing regarding their food deals. Some of the individual items in a deal are priced higher than where they are in their own place on the shelves. A couple of weeks ago, ham hocks were priced at £8.50 in a deal, but if you went round to where they were also on display in the…

Tesco shopper? The Pay+ and Clubcard apps are closing – don't get caught out at the checkout
Tesco shoppers who have ditched their physical Clubcard in favour of scanning their phone at the checkout, will need to download the revamped Tesco Grocery & Clubcard app to avoid missing out on points.

Approved Food problems
Has any one had problems with Approved Food this week? I
put an order in on Tuesday and expected that it would be delivered
within a few days. It hasn't arrived and their website
is rubbish, it just says "Whoops, looks like something went wrong."
whenever I click on "View Order" or on the Order status page.

Bottled water recommendations please
We live in a hard water area. Our tap water comes from a spring, through chalk, but it's so hard that we have to descale our kettle and also our loo ! We drink bottled water because the tap water doesn't taste good. I love Evian, but the price on Amazon for a case is mega ridculous now and it's often out of stock in…

OH started new job three weeks ago and discovered a bigger Lidl with plenty of parking, has been bult on a housing estate on his new route. Unlike Aldi, Lidl doesn't have a search function for groceries so I can…

Snow - lots of reductions at Tesco this morning
And I mean really good reductions not just 50p. Bought packs of chicken, cheese, Walls sausages, lots of cans of chopped tomatoes, beans, soup, beer and cider. The assistant advised the reductions were so good because of low footfall. Indeed, the car park of the Tesco Superstore had very few cars. Roads were OK though. May…

Changes to Tesco Pay+
is it me or has Tesco switched their entire Pay+ model to payment up front?? I use a Tesco credit card for all my monthly spend then clear it each month. By tying the credit card to Pay+ I got the extra points and extra weeks of credit to pay. The new card is both your Clubcard and debit card - it requires you to top up…

Yellow sticker discounting at Morrisons
I use my local Morrisons almost daily, and often go by the reduced items section. Has anyone else found the discounting times and levels of discounting inconsistent? On some occasions, they'll reduce the items by a decent amount, and then on others, they'll only knock 10% or so off the price. And the times of day seem to…

Shrinking mango chutney
Bought a jar of Geeta premium mango chutney. First thing I noticed was the increase in cost, up by 40%. But, the big thing I noticed was that both jars, labelled ‘medium’, contained different amounts; the older jar contained 320g and the new jar contained 230g. Is the fact that they were both labelled as ‘Medium’ a case…

Sainsbury’s SmartShop anomalies
For the last few weeks I’ve used Sainsbury’s SmartShop. Every week I’ve found that some of the advertised reduced SmartShop prices aren’t activated and I’ve had to ask the checkout assistant to reduce my bill accordingly. I haven’t actually been able to get through the process quickly (as you’d expect) because of this. I…
