Food shopping & groceries

Anybody here using Apple Grocery List, what do you think of it ? I’ve it been working with the Alexa app for some time now. If I’m about the house and see something I need to stock upon I simply say ‘Alexa add whatever to shopping list,’ and it’s done, I can do the same when I’m out and about. I generally type it in. Hack:…

Checked receipt, don't do it often. Listerine £6 for 500ml. More expensive than my wine per ml Don't use it myself. Clubcard Website clearly shows £3. Oh for the days of double the discrepancy back

I've just made my weekly online order with Tesco. I order fresh food to last at least a week to save doing a top- up shop. Previously, all fresh food (bar fruit and veg) was marked with a freshness guarantee icon ( eg + 1 week) . That has disappeared. I've WhatsApp 'd Tesco and the reply I received was "We have removed the…

There are apps like Shopmium, Checkoutsmart and Green Jinn that apparently give you cashback in return for scanning your receipt. I was just wondering if anyone uses these, and if so, are they any use?

If you've got a Tesco Clubcard, check if you have any vouchers that expire soon, as £11 million-worth are due to run out at 11.59pm on Monday 31 August. Don't want to spend your vouchers yet? We've got a trick to extend their validity… Read the full story:…

The revamped M&S Sparks loyalty scheme now lets you earn vouchers when you shop with the retailer. M&S says it's made the changes after customer feedback to "make Sparks better". Here's what's new… Read the full story: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2026/04/m-and-s-loyalty-shakeup/ If you haven’t already, join the…

This is something of a money moral dilemma. If you found that the till assistant had somehow managed to not swipe an item, even though they had removed the security tag from said item, what would you do? Say this was a basket of several items and you weren't really paying attention and had asked your companion to actually…

Until 2nd Aug, get £2 back for every £20 saved. Get the usual £1 straight away, and the extra £1 by 6th Aug to spend by 30th Aug (comes off the balance first so usually just planning one shop in that window would cover it). Works well with interest free credit card deals or PayPal promotions as credit cards and PayPal are…

Hi. Have any Morrisons online shoppers experienced rejected substitutes showing as accepted on their online orders? I've realised today it's happened at least 3 times to me so far this year including yesterday. The emailed receipt shows it as 'changes to your order' but doesn't say accepted and the item doesn't appear in…

Just returned from our annual trip to France. Every Lidl there has a bread slicer operated by the customer. Why can't they introduce them here? I suppose H & S reasons. I buy 3 loaves of the Low GI Multigrain a week (I am sure it has got smaller again) and I am rubbish at slicing bread. I will write to Lidl customer…

I bought this yesterday (Nectar discount) - stir fried it and it was tough, woody and tasteledss. Anybody else found this? I also found it impossible to leave a review, even though I can log in to S'bury. Tomorrow I will take back the remaining chicken breast with packaging and receipt and get a refund. Awful product.

Has anyone worked out how to get an online Tesco receipt in pdf without all the silly photographs and 8 pages of waffle they send as email receipt?

I have had an account at Ocado for many years and because of a reduction in income, I have also reduced the number of orders I do each month. My friend who lives next door also uses Ocado and she will ask me if I want to add to her order if my order is below £40. I will transfer my order to my friends, leave mine in my…

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!
