Waitrose have finally adjusted their tills
For those who shop at Waitrose, with effect from March 1st, they have finally stopped the multi-buys taking off the full value if you are purchasing reduced items. It was inevitable (but good while it lasted)
Sainsbury's Pork & Cumberland Sausages
These are usually £1.10 for 8/454g. They're sometimes on offer at 2 for £2.00. I've just checked online whether this offer is still on and they've come up at 2 for £1.20. This seems too good to be true. Is it an online only offer or a website error? I'll check in store tomorrow and let you know. 30 April. Update ... I've…

Aldi Gift Certificates for our Best Customers
I received an email from Aldi regarding the above. Is this a scam? Thanks
When are supermarket shelves fullest?
Especially Morrison and Asda. I have the habit of going to the supermarkets on days and times when the stock is low so end up buying other stuff rather than what I originally want. Do you know what days and times you're most guaranteed to find the shelves at their fullest? When do they get deliveries or restock - stack…
Sainsbury's Large Whole Chickens
We've usually bought either ASDA's Smart Price and Tesco's Everyday Value whole chickens at £2.48/kg. However, a comparison with Sainsbury's revealed that their small (minimum 1.35kg) whole chickens are £2.44/kg and large (minimum 2kg) whole chickens are £2.40/kg. And, they're also all priced at the minimum weight. The…
Morrisons phasing out their Saver brand
In Morrisons today looking for their saver brand of drinking chocolate but there was none on the shelf and no space for it. When I asked an assistant she said that it had been removed from the order pad a few weeks ago and that quite a lot of the Saver brand goods are no longer available to order. Only her opinion but she…

meat prices
In my country you can find pancetta, ie pork belly thick slices like small steaks, with 3.5 euro per kg, no bones. Is there anything like this in uk? What's the cheapest meat available here, as I find everything above 5pounds per kg in supermarkets!
Asda - Finish Quantum Power & Pure 40 pack @ £2
I accidentally picked up a pack of these when I thought I was buying four reasonably priced 27 packs for £3 each. Then when the self-scan showed a couple of entries going through at £2 I investigated further and it was a case of the wrong product on the wrong part of the shelf (and me not checking properly). So, pack of 40…
Finding long cook (8+ mins) porridge oats
Hi. A few months ago I discovered long cook oats that should be cooked for 8 minutes and love them when only cooked for 3 as it's hot but still very textured, unlike the quick cook textureless stuff mostly stood nowadays, which I can't stand and make me want to be sick for some reason. However, the only really available…
What's the best value laundry detergent?
Laundry is really expensive i think and I want to save money on this I did read on "which" that none of the liquids compare with any of the powders or tablets but my wife will only use liquid It does seem a bit of a mine field because now there these concentrates so difficult to compare by price per litres Since they all…
Tonic Water
I know I like Schweppes Tonic Water, it contains sugar and saccharine. This is available generally for about £1/L. I don't like the slimline version or Aldi's house brand, they both use aspartamine as a sweetener and I think it is that taste I dislike. Does anyone have any suggestions for value tonic water that does not…

Does anyone else find Tesco expensive?
I haven't shopped in Tesco for a few months and was really shocked at how much more some of their products cost. Yesterday I did my usual weekly shop in Aldi and then Asda. Then I popped into Tesco to look for DH's fav shower gel and had a look at the prices of some of the items I had previously bought in the 2 other shops…
