Where has all the Aunt Bessie's Chips gone?
Are there supply issues with Aunt Bessie's Homestyle oven chips at the moment? I've not been able to get any from either of my local Sainsbury's or Morrisons for a while now. The last packet I did buy had a "new recipe" label on them and they were a definite step backward, I wonder if this has anything to do with Sunflower…

Asda or Tesco?
We have both in our nearest town. For years I've favoured Tesco, as the range seems to be wider and the produce better. I am currently trying out their delivery pass-£7.99 a month.

Asda multi buy ready meals gone?
I am just doing an Asda online shop and for the first time in years there are no multi buy discounts on ready meals. Is this something to do with the government cracking down on multi buy deals for "unhealthy" food? This will raise my shopping bill quite a bit.

And so here I was in my local Tesco this morning and noticed that all the Häagen-Dazs tubs were reduced to £3.00 (for Clubcard holders) from £4.80. Knowing the typical Supermarket…

I bought a box today for people to try, I couldn’t believe the speed at which they disappeared :) They are great for our pensioners group and…

Are Sainsbury's trading fairly?
I would be interested to hear comments about this. It seems to me that Sainsbury's are offering a better deal to those who shop in store compared to those who shop on line.
