Save money buying free range eggs for the cost of 'battery' ones.
I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but a thing that I have discovered over the past year or so, is that more often than not, eggs are mislabelled deliberately. On the past three occasions that I have bought the cheapest eggs on sale from a supermarket, they have been labelled on the packaging as being from…

£10.50 off shopping at Sainsburys
I was delighted to receive a £10.50 off my online shopping at Sainsburys last week and even more delighted to get another £10.50 off this week (provided I spent over £70 which I do). What I cannot understand is why? My daughter also shops on line with them but didn't receive the same. We looked at her Nectar App but it is…

PSA: check your receipts!
For the 6th consecutive weekly grocery shop at Morrisons I have found an item incorrectly priced on my recipt. It was "only" a 50p on a £40 shop but the highest discrepancy I have found was for a total of £6. Again on an approx £40 shop. I've had it drummed into me since childhood that it is vital to check receipts but I…

Free Delivery hack
This is more of a long term plan than a quick hit saving and will 'cost' initially. Every few months I spend about £30 on household goods (cleaning items and some food items) from an online 'eco' retailer (I'd rather not name them directly as I don't want them to close the loophole). Orders are carriage paid for over £50,…

Lidl Plus - benefits being watered down from September
Old Lidl plus scheme allowed £12 off over the month (and a free pastry) if you spent £200 in the month. At £50 spend = free pastry At £100 spend = £2 off coupon At £200 spend = £10 off coupon We normally managed to spend at least £200 a month on food shopping and so would typically get back £12 each month. From September:…

best way to use a LOAD of Nectar points?
Over the years I've collected and ended up with 70k Nectar points. I used to spend them on the double deals thing (and still have a stock of kettlers and toasters!) but they discontinued that! All of the main spending deals seem... a bit weak :-) Any tips for the best way to splash a lot of Nectar? Or use it more wisely?

Sainsbury's Nectar, Smart Shop and So-Called Deals
Went to a different Sainsbury's store than usual, using their app - "Smart" shop. Bought crumpets (50p) and charged for Crepes (£1.75) but didn't realise until I got home. Rang Sainsbury's 0800 phone number (their complaints email no longer works) and was told the only way to get this sorted would be to return to the…

Aldi watery tinned baked beans
Worst tinned baked beans I have ever bought. Everyday essentials baked beans from Aldi. Watery and tasteless at 21p, you have got to expect it. But Asda and Iceland at 25p a tin. It's definitely worth the extra 4p. I'll not be buying them from Aldi anymore.

My Morrisons new style card
Well, that’s me told! What a rude woman that was. Background is I haven’t been in my local Morrisons petrol station for quite a while as their fuel this last year or so is always at least 2p per litre dearer than Tesco but before that I was a regular fuel buyer and often bought a sandwich meal deal for lunch. I always…
