Share your Christmas yellow sticker bargains
I do enjoy touring the supermarkets at this time of year to pick up 🎄 food and drink reduced to silly prices. Here are a few of my successes from past Christmases - including brandy cream for 1p and mince pies for 4p - can anyone find deals to match or better these in 2021?

Organic fruit and veg cheaper or in bulk :)
I grow a good bit of the veg I use on a yearly basis (still waiting on the fruit) but usually top up using local organic farm shops. Although this has been great for some time and I love supporting small, local businesses. I've noticed that the prices are continually getting higher and my purse strings getting tighter :/…

Wunda
Is it any good, I wonder? Launched six months ago, this pea protein based plant milk is said to be good in everything. I only saw an advert for it last night and I'm tempted to try but would like MSE opinions too. Am particularly intrigued by its compatibility in hot tea / coffee. Help me assess whether it is worth…

Return bags rip-off?
We have weekly deliveries from one of the big supermarkets. Every single week, we are charged for more bags than we are given. Today, 12 items came in 6 bags and we were charged for 24 bags. We tell the driver who knocks the bags off the bill, or we do it online afterwards. It's maybe £1 per week but I wonder if all the…

"English Fayre Marmalade"
Almost at the end of a jar of the above but I cannot recall where I bought it. It's 'finest thick cut orange marmalade'. It's dark in colour, and delicious. Likely paid in the region of 50p or less ( that's my sort of spend for marmalade). I shop in all the supermarkets + Farmfoods, Home Bargains etc. Also, bought within…

Christmas biscuits and chocolates
As I collected my turkey from my work, one of the managers asked me to go into the back for something. Normally on Christmas Eve, there’s hardly any cases of biscuits and chocolates. There were still loads left. Even at cheap prices. It either means 1. People aren’t buying as many presents 2. People are buying other things…

'Chosen on' fresh produce date
I received some celeriac in a supermarket delivery. No 'best before' or 'use by' date but a 'chosen on' date (which was the day of delivery). I'm not sure what that even means in this context. Do they mean when it was picked off the shelves? I still don't have a use by date. Am I missing something really obvious? Cheers.

M&S 'posh cheesy beans on toast' - waste of money or worth a try?
The MSE Social team spotted that M&S is selling 'posh cheesy beans on toast' for £5.75 as part of its new party food range. Given you can buy a loaf of bread, tin of baked beans and block of cheese for less than £5.75, the Social team isn't convinced. When they posted about it on Facebook, many people agreed, while some…
