Short-changed on milk
Hopefully isolated but both of the 4 pint milk cartons in my grocery delivery this week were filled noticeably below the indicator line on the container. Interested to know if it's just bad luck this time or the new frontier of shrinkflation (because who ever checks/weighs anything in a packet). Full disclosure, I don't…

Has Nectar been hacked?
Hi, has anyone had issues with their Nectar account being hacked? I had 10,500 points taken off mine 3 weeks ago. I've already raised this with Nectar and having spent hours on the phone or online with them it's still unresolved. They've sent me a new card, but I can't register it, and my old account has been locked by…

Andrex/Sainsburys (and other supermarkets?) con
Andrex have introduced a new 9 roll classic mega pack with 50% extra. With my basic maths skills that equates to the equivalent of 13.5 rolls.Not surprisingly the price of the new pack is the same as the previous 16 roll pack. Inflation, fuel costs or the war in Ukraine?

Best Before Dates
In my local shop I picked up a Nutrigrain bar and noticed the BBD was nearly 2 months ago. I told the shop keeper and we noticed that the whole box was dated the same so he removed the box from the shelf. That was last week. This morning I’ve noticed the exact same box has been put back on the shelf for sale! What should…

Cashback at checkout?
Do any supermarkets still do cashback at the checkouts (withdrawing money whilst paying for your shopping, not the cashback money saving sites)? I can't seem to find up to date info on which shops do or don't do this now.

Aldi fruit
Anyone else noticed the quality of the fruit in Aldi is poor? I've been using Aldi for years and love most of the products but the last few times I've bought fruit I've been really disappointed. Vegetables are fine Luckily I've got a local greengrocer!

BOGOF Deals?
There was a discussion on Channel 5 yesterday to discuss whether BOGOF deals should be banned. No one appeared to know that these deals are virtually non existent these days. Not seen one for ages and would think they will remain in the distant past. The presenter of the discussion also presents Secrets of your Supermarket…

Anyone know where I can buy Skinny Sauce sweet chilli?
This stuff is amazing, and I've tried most of their range. Some are awful, some are mediocre, but this one was the best. Then aldi stopped doing it - they do ketchup, and burger relish (?!) and bbq now, which is the worst of them, but no sweet chilli I went next door to iceland, they have a bigger range, including some…

Aldi food not fresh
Thought I’d give Aldi another go and stocked up on lots of fruit and veg. Same problem as last time that the items begin to spoil after a few days in the fridge. This is why I’m not a big fan. It seems like a false economy if half of it ends up in the bin. Have others had the same experience?
