Which foods do you have trouble finding nowadays? (No call for it?? We still eat it!!)
Just noticed a recent post about difficulties tracking down evaporated milk. I must say we buy that a lot less nowadays, but which foods do you still love?

We eat well, lots of veg and salad....but with the joint account needing to be bailed out again, we've just been looking at our outgoings and it turns out that my other half's 'top up' shopping is costing as much as all of our other shopping, which I do 90% of. We shop between Aldi, Lidl and Sainsbury's depending on what…

Mince pie inflation watch
During my lunch break today I popped into Sainsbury's round the corner from MSE Towers and noticed that the mince pies have appeared on the shelves: I thought I'd have a look at how the £2.75 price compared to previous years, and it looks like the equivalent product was £2.25 in 2022.

I am a bit confused. Am I right that if you deposit 200 pounds you get 1 12 pound voucher and cannot get any other voucher so why would you put in 360 pounds?
