Expired BOGOF deals

I have been shopping there for years but have found the quality of the fresh produce a bit hit and miss. :( I am happy to change my shopping day if need be, but wondered if anyone else has any views.

Wine rack recommendation
Am posting here rather than the "in my home" thread as I think I'll get a better response. I have a load of bottles of wine cluttering up the fridge and dining room floor and need a decent sized wine rack. The ones in the dining room are in supermarket carriers so are store "efficiently" but it still looks like clutter.…
Morrissons gripe!

Nectar Cards - are they worth it?
Dear All, I'm wondering whether it is worthwhile for me to get a nectar card. We occasionally shop in Sainsbury's and there is one close to my work. So my questions are: What are the rewards for having one? How much have you gained from it? Would you recommend it? Thank you!! (Still trying to figure out what to put in my…
Is Online Food Shopping Cheaper?
I have been toying with online food delivery for a while. I mainly shop at Asda. There is a small Asda supermarket near me, which does sell pretty much everything you may need but there is limited choice of smart price items. I am thinking by shopping at the supermarket, maybe I can cut down on my food bill (although it…
Sources of 'cheap' fish?
I'm having to feed my dog a lot of white fish at the mo on account of her liver problems. But it's expensive. Does anyone know of any good value sources of fish? Ie a neighbour has told me he used to get raw fish offcuts from a fish and chip shop for his cat so I'll look into that - but I need to avoid bones :huh:
