Charges for plastic bags
I saw on their website they will be charging 5p per bags starting in october. They don't seem to have an option to do bagless deliveries. They will apparently give you a refund for every bags you give back. I am using the bags for my dustbin, and will carry on using them a it is still cheaper than buying proper bin liners…

The Great Hunt: Where can you get bargain food before closing, eg, sushi?
Where can you get bargain food before closing, eg, sushi? Many know about ‘yellow sticker’ supermarket reductions where they slash prices late in the day, but they're not the only ones - eg, Japanese takeaway Itsu slashes sushi and salad boxes by 50% half an hour before closing (times vary by store). We want to tap…

Aldi vs Sainsbury's basics
Sorry if this is written in the wrong place.... I currently shop at Sainsbury's buying mostly their Basic range. I was wondering if I would save more money at Aldi? Next time I go shopping I'll keep the receipt and then compare at Aldi, but seeing as I only go shopping twice a month it's going to be a while! So just…

Where do you do your grocery shopping?
Hi all, I was just interested to see where everyone does their shopping. I love Waitrose, purely because of their customer service, quality and values. Sadly though, I don't have one close by so I don't shop there often :( I'm often in M&S for lunch break foods, and of course sweeties! Their food selections are also very…

Waitrose 20% off your selected products
20% off 10 pre-selected products for Waitrose card holders Video explains https://youtu.be/KvVJ48Cl6e8 The selections go live instantly so I was able to set this up, then go to the local Waitrose and it worked! The 20% comes off the 'top' figure so for instance seriously strong extra mature cheese 350g is £4 but 2 for £6…

Lidl area codes
Here's a partial list, at time of writing. Could be useful for Lidl special offer threads, although you should probably check specific stores if you want to be certain. Feel free to add/amend areas. I guess they could change from time to time. 1 South London, Surrey, Basingstoke 2 North London, Reading, Andover, Chelmsford…

B&M Bargains Cheap Food
I spend quite a bit in B&M Bargains, a lot of things are short dated but usually cheaper than the supermarkets. I buy the big tins of Ye Olde Oak Rustic Chicken & Pasta Soup, also the Rustic Pork and Lentil Soup - these are both sold at 59p - instead of the £1.49 as stated on tin. Today I also picked up a Chinese Savoury…

Morrison's "Farmer's milk"
Morrison's will be branding a "Farmer's milk" soon with the price loaded at 10p per litre, which apparently will go to the farmers. Will you be buying into this, or do you think it's a publicity stunt?? Two types of four pint-packs, side by side, of the same product and one will be 23p more. Who's next?? If I can buy four…

Any offers on plenty kitchen rolls?
Anyone know of any offers at pres. My stocks are very low and need to buy very soon. 50p per roll is my usual target price but can't find anything like that at the moment. I've tried other cheap ones in the past but nothing compares.

Is it wrong to accept a drink given in error?
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... I went to a certain fast food restaurant recently with my kids, and when I collected my order I noticed I'd been given one too many drinks. My little boy asked me why I hadn't returned it as we'd been given it by mistake - is it wrong to accept an item you didn't order? If…

Is it wrong to take a free lunch when I don't need it?
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... There's a man who serves plates of hot food (donated by supermarkets) on behalf of the Hare Krishna movement at a university near where I work. I've started going at lunchtime, but some of my colleagues think it should only be for those who really need it. The man knows I'm…

In Praise of Iceland
Had an Iceland order today after long absence because Iceland has some healthy food. We're loving the gluten free kangaroo and venison meatballs and burgers, the frozen at sea hake, the Iceland North Atlantic prawns and Young's Canadian prawns. Iceland is very competitive on all those things for packed lunches eg Branston…

Marmite 2015 thread
Do you think Marmite has change its texture, compared to say Tescos Marmite which to me seems like the 1990s Marmite that I liked, I brought a 500g Jar of Marmite in 2012 and yes it was summer and hot weather but it was almost like thick soup when I tipped it from side to side in the jar but very sticky when spreading on…

Shopping Lists
Do you operate a shopping list. I mean a pre printed list, one that sits on your tablet etc, which you can scan down and pick the items you need e.g. beans, washing up liquid, shaving gel and so on. As a single person without a car I've placed a few orders online for my big shop and it's great to have it delivered to your…
