Food shopping & groceries

I've always bought JS cheapy dishwasher tablets. However, they were out of stock last time and I was given Fairy Premium tablet with my online order. Wow, what a difference, my saucepans look like new. Don't want to go back to the cheap ones now but they are very expensive. Where is the best place to buy?

I have tried 3 supermarkets Aldi, Lidl and a small Asda in the past few days looking for a pack of Salad Tomatoes. None of them had any, they did have Cherry Tomatoes but much dearer than they were last week.

Spotted any vegan Easter egg deals? Please post them here. Lots of Holland & Barrett's vegan Easter eggs are 'buy one, get one half price'. And in case it's useful, MSE carried out an Easter egg taste test at MSE HQ to find out which vegan eggs taste the most expensive. 🥚🍫🥚🍫🥚

On checking an online grocery order I noticed the following statement has anyone else come across this and what does minimum legal price mean please? "Some offers may no longer apply due to minimum legal pricing limits on certain products". Does that mean if you do an online shop at a price quoted on the website that…

We bought 2 Freddo Treasures as we have a number of times, at the encouragement of our 4 year old. Got them home and she and her older sister opened them. Older sister got a penguin like figure to add to the collect while younger daughter got 3 cards with facts about planets, which she can't really comprehend, quickly…

We sometimes buy Asda chilled fish pies, these: https://groceries.asda.com/product/british/asda-fish-pie/1000187931421 which says 'Typically fresh for 4 days'. We've probably had quite a few over the years without any problems. However, on Mar 14 we had one delivered which had a 'Use By' date of Apr 10, which struck me as…

As well as 2x 1kg bags of sugar for £1.50 ,as previously posted, they are now selling the 1kg tub of Kerrymaid Buttery Spread for £1.00 and tinned chopped plum tomatoes in natural juice 800g price marked 59p OR 2x tins for only 80p. Grab some quick.

I do a weekly Sainsburys shop where I take advantage of the weekly Nectar bonus points on specific grocery items. I rarely have any problems and the points are nearly always added within minutes. However, from my shop at 2.10pm on 14th March, no bonus points have been awarded as yet. Has this apparent glitch affected…

With rising food and goods prices, has anyone started buying a little extra when they go shopping? We bought 10 packs of cotton buds but that was more because we didn't see any for ages - they must have had hundreds of packs on the shelf so didn't feel much guilt. We accidently bought about 10 packs of dishwasher tablets…

Last week Asda failed to act on our final order amendments , apologised without us contacting them and gave us a £5 voucher. This week we have repeatedly updated our order and each time we go back in and look it has changed what we asked for so we change it again. Our delivery this morning has again changed from what was…

That place in the supermarket where all the about-to-expire, discounted food goes - what do you tend to call it? I refer to it as the 'yellow-sticker section'. I've seen other Forumites call it the 'whoopsie aisle', 'compost corner' or just 'the reduced bit'. Where do you stand?

Cheapest around at the moment seems to be £3.49 for a 6 pack at B&M.

Did anyone else have a double up alert notice in their Nectar app today? Or recently? Worth keeping an eye on! I had it as a big green square, but when I clicked through I got error messages, and then eventually the alert vanished. But it certainly suggests that one is coming up - possibly for the week before Easter maybe?…

Hi Does anyone get veg boxes from oddbox ? I like the idea of buying fruit & veg that wouldn't make it to the supermarket for whatever reason but sometimes these things are expensive gimics. Cheers Jen

I’ve been getting stuck into nectar this year and have been using the smartshop app to try to maximise savings on supplies for packed lunches for work. When it offers me ‘nectar prices’ on items I would usually buy that are non perishable, I tend to buy in bulk to make the most of the offer - I have hundreds of coffee…

Nectar have an offer if you spend £90 and more you get £13.50 off your online home delivery from Sainsburys ends Tuesday, 15th March 2022

I shopped with Sainsbury grocery online first time lately. I had my order delivery on night slot and found out all the breads had its best day end on that delivery day (please note I know best day only a guideline etc) so I contact them and they just send me the link page and it state - (Short Life Policy- Items classed as…

We’d love to shop at our local refill place but just can’t afford it. So what do you get and where from? Any tips? Currently looking at 5l bottles of shampoo, 60pk of toilet roll and so on.

Co-op shoppers buying online should be aware of a technical glitch that means the wrong price is being displayed on certain items. The error means that final price you would expect to pay could either be higher or lower than you budgeted for, so be careful to check the total cost when you've finished shopping... Read the…

Hi everyone, I am trying to set up online delivery for my elderly parents. I see Asda are offering a delivery pass scheme and wanted to know, does the order need to be £40 each time for the delivery pass to work? If so, what happens if it is under £40? Thanks, Littlemiss
