Nicky or Regina?
Need to stock up on loo rolls. I bought Nicky last time, but the nearest shop I can buy them is quite a distance, so thought I'd try Regina this time. Any thoughts on whether the journey to buy Nicky is worth it, or is Regina (which I can pick up locally) just as good?
Selected Morrisons selling eggs individually
Saw this at Edinburgh Gyle Morrisons: https://my.morrisons.com/blog/food/pick-your-own-eggs/ Large free range eggs for 22p each (or 6 for £1). I use eggs occasionally for baking, but otherwise don't really like them and struggle to use up a box of 6, so although it's cheep-er to buy a whole box, it suits me nicely to be…

How much of a shop can be done at Aldi/Lidl?
I currently do 80% of my shopping at either Aldi or Lidl (we are lucky enough to have them both within half an hours drive) and do a toiletries shop in Asda. The reason for the Asda trip has primarily been because my youngest was still in pull ups at night so I would get these from Asda (lidl/aldi pull ups don't seem to…

have the nations cooking skills really devolved so much ? https://metro.co.uk/2018/09/20/iceland-is-selling-ready-made-scrambled-eggs-in-microwaveable-pouches-7962298/ £1.50 for a single serving - who buys these things :huh: ?
Dorset Cereals product recall
Hi I just had an e-mail from Dorset Cereals about a recall of their Gloriously Roasted Nut Muesli 600g.... It's nothing alarming just that some packs may contain a small quantity of grains that have not been properly milled which are hard and may cause discomfort if bitten. Affected dates/batches are 24 06 2019MX8236 and…

Jack's (from Tesco) - items recommended to buy (or to avoid)?
Similar threads exist for Aldi, Lidl and other low cost supermarkets - the idea is to gather together recommendations for good value products worth buying. Or, alternatively, ones to avoid. Do we have any Jack's customers out there at Chatteris or Immingham yet? Are the prices competitive with Aldi and Lidl? Is the quality…

Hello everyone! I'm looking for some advice to cut down on costs when it comes to my (minor) caffeine addition. I am a student at university and am unsure of what instant coffee I should buy - I don't really want to make the wrong choice. At the moment I do not know a lot about which coffee I want but, here's what I do…
Tesco - starting online reviews
Just went to do a Tesco order and noticed the option to review products - about time too :T This is so useful on Ocado's site and hopefully will become so on T - there's certainly a few products that I'll be glad to have my say on, rather than just venting on here !!

New reduced stickers in Lidl
Lidl marks down produce by 30% when it gets within 2 days of its best before date and now they have introduced 2 new reduced stickers, 20p and 70p that get stuck on top of the 30% orange sticker when the product gets to the last day for best before.

Why is Braggs Apple cider vinegar so expensive?
I was looking in Holland and Barrett and noticed how much the price difference is between Braggs ACV and Aspall ACV for a similar size. Aspall brand is £2.59 for 500ml of unfiltered, organic, ACV with the mother. For a similar amount (actually less) of Braggs ACV, it's £7 for 473ml. Why is there such a large difference?
Desiccated Coconut
I am really struggling where to buy this - I only found one packet in Tesco the other day and it was organic and £2 for 200g :eek:. Not very MSE. Had a look in Asda today too and couldn't find any, either in the baking or the world foods aisle. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
