What's the strangest / quirkiest vending machine you've seen?
I was at a suburban railway station yesterday that had a vending machine selling frozen ready meals: These days I know it's fairly common in rural areas for farms to have vending machines for dairy products and fresh fruit/veg. I've even seen a vending machine for farm-fresh milk in quite an urban shopping centre. 20 years…

What to do when nectar price isn't applied?
I went to Sainsburys on Friday and saw a product that usually costs £7.75, but with a nectar price of £7. It's a bit of a favourite in our house, so I bought 10 of them, which should have given a discount of £7.50, but when I checked the receipt, I had been charged full price on all of them. Previously when I've had an…

Food Cupboard Items Reduced.
My wife was in our local M&S Foodhall yesterday and noticed a few of their regular food cupboard items heavily reduced, could not work out why as the best before dates were up to 2027 on some items, can only think they are wanting to free up shelf space for Christmas stock. Anyway it was nice to get some bargains on food…

Why don't supermarkets make meat packaging to keep portions separate.
I throw away quite a bit of meat. I could go to butchers and get single portions but supermarket is easier and i think cheaper. But say like me you buy 8 chicken thighs in the carton (Aldi £2.99) and eat two today , the packaging says once opened use in 24hrs. They could be unopened and last a few days , so why can't they…

Sainsbury spending points in store - changes now swipe card?
I’m not sure if I’m understanding the update that flashed up on my nectar app (and then closed and I can’t find it again). It seems to spend nectar points in store ie for money off shopping you will now have to physically swipe your nectar card down the side of the till. Whereas to get points you just scan a qr code! The…

Substitution refunds
I don’t normally supermarket shop online but for a weekend away with friends in a AirBnB it made sense. I had a substitution which meant I was due a small refund. However this is only available as a voucher for use online only and expires in 2 months. I contacted Sainsbury’s but they told me they are unable to give me the…

Central Co-op App: Worth getting if you shop there, don't need to be an app shopper
If you or a relative shop at their local Central Co-op, the new app has some exclusive offers and discounts that don't actually require you to use the app, it just needs to be downloaded on a device somewhere, all the deals are actually tied to the membership number so the physical card in store works. They have a weekly…

Tesco Woodside Farms Meat
Just back from my weekly Tesco shop and very disappointed to find the chiller cabinet that used to contain the Woodside Farms Pork chops now contains just Tesco Lamb. Looking in the Pork section could only find the Tesco range of Pork products (a lot more expensive and thinner chops). I asked one of the staff nearby to be…

Baxter's French Onion Soup £1 in Morrisons 😁👍
Baxter's French Onion Soup £1 in Morrisons Oh my days I haven't French Onion for 40 years and my wife says they have it on offer at Morrisons. I bought 3 tins today and had some for tea and it was Scrum-diddly-umptious if a little on the sweet side. I had it with a toasted ciabata roll filled with grated cheese and corned…

Morrisons More Points
Hi Everyone. Been saving Morrisons More points all year to use at Christmas. Managed to acquire 204.000 (£200) worth. Being in my 70s and not very tech savvy thought I would do a dummy run and exchange some points into £20 worth of vouchers. Didn't want to mess things up come the big Christmas shop. That's when it all went…

Sainsbury's groceries free home delivery?
I noticed an online advert saying you could get free home delivery with Sainsbury's if the order was over £100, but I couldnt find anything saying that on Sainsbury's website. I currently pay for a Delivery Pass but as my orders are typically over £100 I would be annoyed if I was needlessly paying for that Pass if I should…
