Supermarket pricing - are they ripping us off??
http://news.sky.com/story/1519805/supermarket-pricing-is-confusing-says-cma Lots on the news today and would you believe it, but supermarkets have been deliberately misleading us allegedly - shock horror. Nothing new here and I doubt it will end. Lynsey

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…

IBS - Where can I buy affordable Gluten free products?
Hi, I have IBS and through an elimination diet I have found out that by eliminating gluten from my diet I do not get any attacks. I have been Gluten free now for 4 weeks and I have not been ill/had an attack in all this time. Previously I was ill 2-3 times per week. Although this is great, buying Gluten free is making our…

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…

Very Best Chicken Nuggets?
I used to shop at Costco but couldn't justify the cost of membership as we were buying less and less each time. However, they did sell the very best chicken nuggets, Premium brand I think, and I am struggling to find anywhere that sells these of the same quality. They are proper portions of chicken, nugget sized, not…

When is the Co-op not the Co-op (food stores)?
On many occasions, I've noticed that my local Co-op food store doesn't have the offers/deals advertised on the website. (Or offers posted on here :) ) I queried this instore and staff have either relied on the "subject to availability" clause, or they've said "this offer doesn't apply to us". Puzzled, I contacted…

What? No Princes Mackerel Fillets thread?
I'm an avid consumer of Princes Mackerel tinned fillets. They contain 3 times the amount of Omega-3 than their own-brand counterpart. The problem is they are quite expensive (around £1.40 to £1.70 a tin). Occasionally they are to be found in special promotions at £1 a tin for a limited time. I try to catch up on these…

several ocado offers not showing on my supermarket
I've found some products that are on offer on the Ocado website, but not on My Supermarket (even after choosing the same delivery day). E.g. several versions of bonne maman marmalade discounted http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/Shopping/FindProducts.aspx?Query=bonne%20maman%20marmalade whole earth peanut butter 3 for 2…

Amazon Subscribe and Save
Has anyone used the Amazon Subscribe & Save service? What do you think of it? I've just been looking at some of the items I buy regularly and they do work out quite a bit cheaper. I tend to buy in bulk anyway because I find some of the items hard to get in my local supermarket so its a case of buy when I can find it. Thanks

Canderal sweetners 400 pack £1.99
Found packs off 300 (with an extra 100 for free, so 400 in total) selling for £1.99 in the Bodycare shop (sells mainly toiletries but they have some other items in there which this was one of them) in my local shopping centre. Couldn't find an on line shop to post a link to it but here is a link to Tescos where a smaller…

Raisins - where is cheapest and why no value range?
I always buy raisins from Aldi (500g for £1.49) and the quality is really good, big and juicy raisins instead of hard pelllets I have had elsewhere. They haven't had them for a few weeks now and am running low. I haven't been able to find a supermarket value pack anywhere despite value packs of sultanas being available.…

Waitrose easter eggs
Just been to my local Waitrose for a coffee and a browse. They are selling off Easter chocolate at about a quarter price. They had Cadbury Cream Eggs at 12p each plus many more lines like Lindt bunnies at 25% of normal price...

What's the biggest coupon saving you've ever had??
Are you an extreme coupon-er? Does buying at full price make you shudder? Martin featured Nectar points in the weekly email recently (which I'm a fan of!), and as a bit of a coupon-er myself I wanted to know from you guys, the experts, if I'm missing out on any tricks! Where do you find your best coupons? Is it all online…

Can Fruit and Veg Box Schemes + online groceries help control food spend?
I've just subscribed to a weekly fruit and veg box scheme (trialing Riverford at the moment). I plan to get everything else from Ocado (which I've been using for a while, I like their range) but will cut the shop down to once fortnightly and focus on what's on offer. I hope this will help control my food budget, and result…
