Using Nectar points to buy gift cards in Sainsbury's
Has anyone recently managed to purchase an in-store gift card with their nectar points. I'm sure I've done so in the past but was in today and wasn't allowed to get a Fat Face gift card using my points.
Sainsbury’s Can’t Match That!
Listening to Sainsbury’s bleat about their woeful situation as regards NI contributions and how hard turning a profit can be, I was brought up short during my regular online shop and discovered some very interesting things about Sainsbury’s marketing (and, no doubt, all the other big supermarkets). My example to dive in to…

The Co-Op isn's listening
Can someone explain to me something? I've just received an email from Central Co-Op with changes to the membership. It says "You’ve told us: It’s confusing that there are different Memberships for different co-ops, and it’s difficult to understand earning points in different Societies" I thought, great, one Co-op card for…
Offers misleading at Morrisons
For the second time I’ve written to Morrisons over misleading offers. latest one was 25% off Whiskas 12 pouch box. i realised once I’d bought two boxes it was for only one box. Today an offer has appeared for 5% off wine, again, one bottle only. Hardly worth the effort.

Tesco Delivery slots
I just went on to book my weekly shop for week 20-26 December just after midnight that I do every week and every slot in the week have gone even priority slots, either there is a glitch or someone possibly has inside info - this is not fair on the disabled who can not get out.
Reconstituted Chicken
How can I tell the difference between real and reconstituted Chicken in a restaurant? Sometimes it is obvious from the look and texture that a dish is made from square cubes of soy based chickem product. However, what about when it is raw, how do I tell the difference with say raw chicken pieces at a chinese buffet…

It's January 6, the day that many choose to take down their decorations, but there are still some Christmas products left in the shops - and lots have now been marked down more than once. What's the best bargain you've spotted? Here are some snaps from my tour of shops near me

Tesco - cheaper prices for online delivery
Why are Tesco offering cheaper prices for some items if you order them online for delivery? I am an OAP who cannot warrant a full shop being delivered - and I don't want to anyway - so have to pay the full price in their shops. My current ran tis that Muller Light yoghurts are £2.50 if you order online but £4.00 if you buy…
Can you still get paper Tesco Clubcard vouchers?
I don't think Tesco send paper Clubcard vouchers to customers any more but I wondered if there's any way of getting them? I don't like using the vouchers on the app because the screen automatically goes to full brightness and that hurts my eyes as I have an eye condition. Thanks for any help.
Community Food
I have joined a Community Food Project. They run on the basis of collecting leftover food etc from supermarkets and instead of it going into landfill they sell it cheaply to the community. The one I've joined mainly sources from Tesco, Sainsburys and Marks & Spencers by looking at the produce available. It costs £10 a year…

Saving money by shopping at..........Waitrose!
Obviously mileage will vary for different people with different circumstances but having recently become single again, I have been trying to tighten my belt. Slightly weirdly, having tried the whole Aldi/Lidl thing, I found the best way of getting my shopping bills down was going to Waitrose! A few reasons: -Most…
