Tesco - no more next day delivery?
Last week I went to book a shop for the next day, as usual, and there were no slots available. Fine. I just went to book a shop for tomorrow - I know I've left it a bit late at 8:30 but it's always been fine - except, no slots available. Has anyone else noticed this? Asda, Ocado and Sainsbury's all have availability for…
Instant Noodles
Love these things. The type in packets - 20p come with a sachet you add to boiling water. But we've recently started properly planning our diet to ensure we're eating healthily. Suddenly realised after never bothering to read the packet, how hideously full of saturated fat and salt they are. My question is are there any…

I got a lot of bargains in ALDI today. They were discounting food to make room for Christmas stock. It was around 75% discount on currants, luxury mixed fruit, pate, pasta, olives, garlic...loads of store cupboard ingredients!
Where to buy tinned whole carrots?
I like tins of Tesco whole carrots in water but they disappeared from the shelves about a year ago now and have not returned. I have asked in Tesco about getting them back in stock but they say they are unavailable. They are also unavailable online. They still have the baby carrots in water but I don't think they are so…
Aldi UK to launch online operation in 2016
The UK arm of discount supermarket Aldi said on Monday it would launch an online operation in Britain in 2016, initially selling wine, as it posted a dip in 2014 operating profit reflecting price cuts and higher staff costs. The privately-owned German grocer said it will begin selling wine by the case online from early…
Is a £30 weekly shop possible at Aldi/Lidl?
For those of you who shop at Aldi/Lidl would you think I could get a weekly shop at either for around £30-£35? This would be for one adult, one child and a cat (cat food and litter). I am trying to follow Slimming World so eating more fresh fruit and veg. We do not eat a lot of meat and mainly chicken when we do. My…
Sainsbury's Online grocery burning questions
Hello (a) Does Sainsburys show valid offers only applicable to booked delivery day? (or does it warn you the item goes up before delivery comes?) (b) Will Sainsburys charge you for delivery if your delivery invoice/bill drops below delivery pass £40 threshold, because they have out-of-stock items. (you don't accept any…

Thorntons
The recent MSE offer for 'chocs for Xmas' is a fraud! I got £60 chocs for £30 - not bad eh? However, the MSE offer specifically said that Thornton's stated all use-by dates (USB) would be no earlier than Jan 16. Nonetheless, the chocs arrived with several USBs of Oct and Nov 15. I emailed Thornton's but they haven't even…

Alcohol free beer... any suggestions?
Apologies but not sure where best to post this and thought the OS crowd might be able to help. My father is very keen on Becks Blue lager and has recently begun a long term antibiotic situation so is unable to have alcohol in any event. Does anyone have any recommendation about alternatives, please? I would be particularly…

Where s the cheapest place to get these please? Someone on here a while ago said that Lidl's are compatible, but my Lidl doesn't do them at all!
various canned beans in Sainsburys now 2 for £1.00
Currently Sainsburys have an offer of 2 cans of beans for £1.00. Now these are not regular baked beans, but cans of borlotti , haricot, aduki , butter beans etc. Some are usually 60p, though some are 80p and some are even £1 each , so 2 for £1 is excellent. I bought the mixed beans in a mild chilli sauce which are usually…
