Food shopping & groceries

If you have a Sainsbury home delivery scheduled for today I suggest you check to ensure payment has been taken. I had an order scheduled for 9.30am to 10.30am today. By chance 1st thing this morning I logged onto my account & noticed a message saying payment could not be taken using my card. It is my normal card which I…

Supermarket workers, I'm keen to hear any tips you have for shoppers. Where you work, is there a best time for yellow sticker food? Is there a lesser-known loyalty card perk you think more people should use? When does your biggest stock-up happen? Any handy insider tricks you're able to send our way? Many thanks, MSE Laura

Is anyone else having problems with their coupon plus spend bar on the app? My spend has gone backwards! I shopped there on Monday and I should now have spent enough for the 10% off coupon but it hasn't updated. I checked on the website and it says to wait 48 hours and then contact them if it hadn't sorted itself out. I…

Whoosh delivery is only available for what appear to be more expensive items. For instance you can buy Nescafe coffee but you cannot buy Tesco own brand. You can buy Tesco Salted Butter at £2.20 on Whoosh. Buy it on a normal delivery and it is £1.99 Aldi price match. Lots of other examples of the higher prices for Whoosh…

5 creme eggs for 99p - can't be beaten !

Nectar is running a daily Spin to Win competition this week - prizes range from nothing to varying amounts of Nectar points. I'd be interested to see if anyone is awarded a prize, and also what their usage of Nectar is (either accruing points or spending them). I have about £50 in Nectar points that I have built up over…

Hi Im keen to eat more chickpeas and butter beans etc but disappointed that many supermarket own brands have sulphates in. I know ktc branded stuff doesn’t nor does Sainsburys organic but wondered what people have found ? Ideally cheap own brand if possible!

Idle curiosity really. I have a big Tesco delivery (over £200) booked for a fixed hour slot 5-6 this afternoon. I also have an appointment on Portland at 2 o’clock, which should take about 90 minutes. Yesterday there was an incident which resulted in the only road on or off the island being closed for just over an hour.…

I've been trying to eat healthily by eating oily fish, so I trued these Aldi Anchovies in olive oil. I mixed them with plenty of rice, but even diluted I only just resisted vomiting due to the amount of concentrated cured salt in it, just managing to spit it out before too much damage. After investigating further I think…

I visited Waitrose today expecting to find Wychwood King Goblin at the usual price of £7 for 4. It was one of the few decent bottled beers remaining below £7.50 for 4. Instead, I the price has been increased to £8 for 4: An increase of over 14% !!! It is now more expensive than premium beers such as Abbot Reserve or…

This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks… I help a housebound, 82‑year‑old neighbour by doing his weekly shop. He’s got no smartphone and no idea how supermarket loyalty schemes work, so I use my own app when buying his groceries at the same store I use for my family. The rewards only add up to a few quid a month –…

In the Money Supermarket app. Available for the first 50,000 members. They will send you a code that can then be redeemed in the Lidl app, valid for 14 days in the app. Happy munching!

I've been shopping online with sainsburys for about 8 months now. A couple of relatives regularly send me sainsburys gift cards as I'm on a low income. One relative always sends it by just telling me the gift card number and pin number, which I then enter at checkout, it converts to a coupon and can then be spent. I have…

If you've got a Tesco Clubcard, check if you have any vouchers that expire soon, as £17 million-worth are due to run out at 11.59pm on Sunday 31 May. Don't want to spend your vouchers yet? We've got a trick to extend their validity… Read the full story:…

Just been caught out by Tesco applying vouchers to the home delivery basket before checking the basket value against the £50 minimum basket criteria for using Delivery Saver. So for example as a Delivery Saver customer: Basket value £54.99 Apply £5 voucher Minimum basket charge £5 now applied when it should not be So…

I noticed on my receipt I hadn’t been given any credit for a 3 for £12 deal. My order email showed them all as being included and charged at the reduced price but the receipt email on the day of delivery showed full price. Honest mistake I thought, probably compounded by them substituting one of the items. So I just…
