Closing loyalty card account on the death of owner
Hello! I just wish to get a view and possibly some pointers from MSE bods. I recently tried to close a number of loyalty cards belonging to a parent after their death. All was going well until I web chatted with one and they asked for a scanned copy of the death certificate. I refused as I felt it was intrusive and I had…
Morrisons cancelled my delivery order
Nat West blocked my credit card and as a result my order was cancelled. Nat West said the despatch address was different to the despatch address I used last October. I received that order. Morrisons could not explain but suggested I re enter my credit details. Nat West thought that the change of despatch address could be…
Sangiovese red wine
There is a nice example of this Italian wine, under the label of 'Remastered', available in Tesco on clubcard reduction and multibuy so that you end up paying under £4 a bottle
Milk of Magnesia Scarcity
I know it is not a food but I am just finding it impossible to source either in chemists or supermarkets, always "out of stock". It really helps my sensitive tummy and I have now run out of my existing stock. It is not even available on Amazon. One bottle on eBay for sale at £20! Can anyone advise a supplier? Or something…
Thinking of changing to ocado.
I have for many years used sainsburys for my shopping mainly because my parents all ways did, for quality and value. and I think I just kind of followed suit. Now that I live alone I have become more interested in the 'meals for one' section when doing my shopping. but with some of the major supermarkets choice in this…
Sandwich expiry
Would you buy a sandwich that the eat by date was over two months away? I wouldn't.
guinness nitrosurge
ive been buying and stocking up guinness nitrosurge at tescos its been on offer from £20.50 to £17.25 with a clubcard for a case of 10 pint cans the offer end 24/3 so if you drink this its well worth stocking up
Own Brand Healthier Option Baked Beans Multipacks Discontinued
Both Asda and Tesco seem to have discontinued the low sugar and salt baked beans multipacks. The singles are still available but obviously at the slightly higher price for 4. So trying to be a little bit healthier is more expensive. Why can they not put these basics on multibuy offers which would at least save a bit of…
Toffifee white edition contains peanut!
Hi there I just thought I'd mention this for those with allergies. I've just bought a couple of packets of the Toffifee white chocolate edition. However once I got home and checked the really tiny print on the back with a magnifying glass, it states peanut in the flavouring. The milk chocolate version doesn't have this and…
Butter
Could anyone explain what our consumer rights are when it comes down to changing the ingredients of our food stuff. Lots of brands of butter must have changed their ingredients but there is no obvious sign on the packaging. How i have noticed is I do a lot of baking and just lately when i try to cream together with sugar…
Tesco to trial giving expiring food away to shoppers
just read this Tesco to trial giving expiring food away to shoppers - BBC News That's after it has failed to sell with yellow stickers and not been accepted by charities or staff. And it's after 9.30 pm in some express stores.
Trouble booking a grocery delivery slot
Is anyone having trouble booking a grocery delivery with Ocado? I've been shopping with them for several years and usually find that they have the most available convenient or short notice slots in my area amongst all the usual supermarkets. But for the last 2 weeks the number of slots have declined. I cant book a Saturday…
Pepperoni Shortage?
Is there an UK shortage of pepperoni? In the Glasgow area - Asda, Tesco, Lidl and Aldi all say they are out of stock. Any reasons why?
Potato Flour.
Trying to find a source of this. Searches also confuse the search with Potato starch which is not the same thing. Potato flour is far more nutritious and good for making bread. Any sources appreciated.
Cheapest Creme Eggs in UK
Can this be beaten ?Asda
Why does inflation even exist?
I've never really understood inflation, I mean I understand how it works I just don't understand why it exists. Let's just imagine everything has a price and every job as an income. Some people earn more than others but pay rises don't exist. So Apple creates an iphone and they sell it for £300. Then 3 years later they…
Nectar App Update - Locked Points
Just noticed today the Nectar App now gives the option to lock your points so they can’t be spent! Finally, a way to stop people having points stolen! Pleased to see this, had points stolen last month myself!
ClearanceXL
Has anyone shopped at Clearancexl lately and was it a good or bad experience? I've shopped with them a long time ago and it was fine but I'm seeing an awful lot of bad reviews now, it seems to be mainly on them taking weeks to deliver peoples orders unless they have picked the expensive £10 delivery charge. His replies to…
For goodness sake, it’s Valentine’s Day!
As I usually do on Valentine’s Day, popped into my local Aldis to pick up roses for my good lady. However, noticed that those on display, whilst not fully opened, were in fact, well on the way. Asked a member of staff if fresher flowers were available and his reply just floored me”. Not until the ones on display are sold”…
Heart of England Co-Op closing 2% Member Rewards
I know they're a small and localised society so doesn't affect many, but Heart of England Co-Op are ending their 2% Member Rewards cashback scheme from 22nd February, customers have until 31st December 2025 to spend accrued rewards. No big surprise, just following the national Co-op group and other societies. Lots of guff…
