Food shopping & groceries

Ask questions about supermarkets, online grocery shopping and more. You can share your best yellow sticker bargains too.

How many supermarkets do you have close by?
We want to know whether the proximity of a supermarket to your home has an impact on how far you'll go to get the best deal on your grocery shop. Supermarkets discount key products at different times so it's almost always possible to get them for less than RRP. Let us know how many you have within what you'd consider a…
Check the checkout scales are on zero
I was in Asda today using the self service checkout. I had two small thin chillies in a bag so expected them to cost about 3p. They came in at 55g and cost 23p. As I lifted them off the scales, I noticed the weight was 50g with nothing on there. Pressed the zero button on the scales and weighed them again: 5g and 2p. Had a…

Best value toilet rolls?
It seems that Lidl have stopped doing the (relatively) cheap Floralys "XXL" 20-packs that we've been quite happily buying for the last couple of years, and all our local store now has is more expensive stuff that's quilted, or fluffy, or contains added goose down or Hello Vera or whatever, so what's our best bet for a…

Morrisons - Pink Lady Apples on offer

Rendang curry paste 50p in Sainsbury's
Should be £1.30 but seems to be some kind of error at the till. If you've not had rendang before, do. It's amazing. Cook with a nice cut of beef good for stewing - the longer this cooks the better it is. From wiki - 'In 2011 an online poll by 35,000 people held by CNN International chose Rendang as the number one dish of…

Aldi vs Lidl
Hi everyone, Sorry if similar/same thread exists! I used to do all my shopping at Aldi but now I have moved to Scotland and there is a Lidl 1 minute walk away (not completely an accident!). However, there is an Aldi around a mile away. So basically, is there anything that is significantly cheaper in one or the other? Or…
