ASDA Pricing model
I get the feeling that asda have done something to their pricing. Im sure that before most of the prices ended in a 5, 0 or 9 but nowadays it seems that they are all mixed up like £2.57 or £1.03 this makes it hard for me to compare prices and to keep a mental track of how much i am spending as i go around the shop Am i…

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…

The Great 'shrinking food and other items' Hunt
The Great 'shrinking food' Hunt Revisited We featured this hunt back in 2010 (see original thread), but it seems manufacturers are up to their old tricks again by dropping products’ sizes while keeping prices the same (one forumite's spotted loaves of bread dropping from 800g to 750g). We want to know which foods you've…

I regularly convert a £400 Sainsbury's gift card to coupons on my grocery account because I get 5% off the gift cards with my work scheme.

Sainsbury's coupons not refunded automatically for grocery orders with cheaper substitutes
I found this out from a Facebook post and went to look on my Sainsbury's receipts, only to find, it had happened to me too! If you use coupons to buy Sainsbury's shops, to the point where the shop is basically all coupon, a few quid cash, if they can't fulfill a particular item and replace with significantly cheaper, they…

Toilet roll - I think I need a testing nerd lol
Has anybody ever actually done any testing on the genuine 'best value' toilet roll? They all look pretty much the same on the shelf but; Some have smaller inner tubes, so more sheets per same size roll Some are thicker sheets, or better quality sheets, so you use fewer sheets per 'visit' So it's not just a case of buying…

Tesco - every penny helps . . . . themselves!
When I buy loose veg etc at Tesco I weigh my selections and print out the labels. THEN I put the produce into one of the 30p bags I purchased to do my bit for recycling. But of late I have noticed when I get to the checkout the barcode is ignored, the produce is weighed & the price is a penny higher than on the label. In…

Following good reports in a well-known consumer magazine, we've tried using Lidl's Bellarom Lungo compatible pods but have had problems with about 1 in every 5 of them.
