Bell Peppers
We eat A LOT of peppers, use them in almost every meal but noticed the sizes are getting smaller in the packs of 3 and to get the bigger peppers (which is the size they used to once be) stores are charging more. Trying to budget what we spend on food every month, have cut out a lot of waste so far but I wondered if anyone…
Aldi = Annoying
Been shopping at Aldi for a couple of years now as it is about 30 - 50 % cheaper than my local Sainsbury's. However the Missus is getting a bit p*ssed of with their out of stocks. Own brand moisturising cream not being in stock for about 2 months & NO other brands available. Frozen Steak & Merlot meat pies 2 in a pack not…
Tesco doughnuts, no shelf life date
Bags of jam doughnuts with sugar coating from tesco in town display a date, use, sell by. From our local tesco express, similar item is icing sugar coated and NO date on ticket. So you have no idea how long they've been on the shelf.
Lidl or Iceland - which is cheaper or better ?
Evening, I've never posted in this part of MSE before so forgive me if this is a bit of a naive question... We have a brand new replacement Lidl opening this Thursday and our Iceland has also relocated in the last 12 months, so will be lucky enough to have two shiny new shops !! We are dedicated Lidl shoppers both for…

Home delivery to first floor flat
Does anyone know which supermarkets offer a home delivery service where they will carry the shopping up to a first floor flat rather than leaving it at the front door to the block of flats? Asking on behalf of a single Mum with a young baby who has heard that drivers now refuse to carry the shopping up a flight of stairs…

Do you want a receipt? Yes I need to check.
It's understandable that supermarkets and us seek to minimise waste and environmental impact. Thermally printed receipts are not particularly environmentally friendly. However, about one in five of my transactions are scanned incorrectly. Sainsbury's smaller stores are especially poor, as are most Coops, and need to be…
Oily fish in Asian supermarkets
As someone who has lived in east central London for almost 20 years I have discovered tons of Asian supermarkets, I have spent a lot of time researching all the spices and seeds, nuts available in them and there asian names - a good few of these Asian supermarkets have as much food items & in some cases possibly more than…

Has anyone else noticed that the Tesco plastic Bag for Life has shrunk in size? The original plastic Bag for Life was almost twice the height!
No more Clubcard Wombling!
The other half gave her receipt from Tesco telling me to go back in and add the points as she forgot to take our clubcard in to the store. I was surprised to hear that due to clubcard rules they can't add the points from just any receipt. This surprised me because i have got them added at the desk before and i think there…

Baby aisle cotton buds
Remember a couple of years ago MSE wrote an article about how some items are cheaper in different aisles of the supermarket, e.g. cotton buds were cheaper in the baby section? I quote: We found a pack of 300 cotton buds for 55p in the baby aisle at Tesco. The buds look and feel the same as the pack of 200 that cost £1.50…
