Best instant coffee?
Just wondered what anyone thinks is the classiest/best tasting instant coffee? I want to make up a small food-related gift for someone and include coffee in it. I know they don't have a coffee maker and are too lazy to make it from beans so thought a good jar of instant would be a good fit. They buy Gold Blend for…

Is all online supermarket shopping the same?
I used to use sainsburys online to do a big shop, but stopped when I became the only person in the house. I want to go back to it, I think it will be easier as I'm struggling a bit on the bus:(, but I'm not sure who to shop with. When we first chose sainsburys, about 10 years ago, I think it was because people used to…

Aldi Dolce Gusto compatible pods anywhere?
Having realised that a Tassimo machine wouldn't take any generic discs, I sold it and got a Nescafe Dolce Gusto one, not realising that it takes the bigger pods rather than the wee ones. I wasn't worried because according to the Web, Aldi (my supermarket of choice) do compatible ones which get great reviews. But I can't…

Only Sainsbury's is selling navels but pre packed. Four in a net at 2 pounds. The quality is still poor. The only pears sold loose are conference. Again,…

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…
