Currys price Match
just tried to do a price match with Currys and another online retailer on a £2k purchase. Was rejected as the other retailer offers "Exclusive discounts" (whatever that means). Currys are clearly promoting the impression that they are offering the lowest prices when they are clearly not. In this case the same item is 10%…

Praise to Ocado!
I've been fed up of supermarket deliveries either not turning up on time, or not having items in stock and either not sending them or crazy substitutes! I've been giving Ocado a go for the last couple of months and they've not once let me down (touch wood). Out of about five deliveries, I've had one item be unavailable but…

Fabulosa - Vent
Facebook page is full of people still waiting on orders from as far back as October, communication is non existent, orders are taken but not sent out. Assume company cannot cope with the volume of orders and are burying their heads in the sand. Can't even blame couriers as most orders never get as far as leaving the…

Lidl - Sanitas SZA 80 Sonic Toothbrush - Spare Toothbrush Head Sourcing - TOO EXPENSIVE!
I know there are several posts on this forum related to this subject but it appears the discussions have now closed so no more contributions can be made. I bought one of these sonic toothbrushes several years ago along with a supply of spare heads to see me through at least for the 3 year warranty period offered by Lidl. I…

Whilst I was in India I received the code but couldn't use it! When I returned to the UK I contacted Gogroopie and asked for…

Went to buy Dove Roll-On deodorant in Superdrug on a 2 for 1 offer. Unit price had increased to £2.95. It is available in other stores at full price from £1.55 to £1.80. How can they justify this! Didn't bother to check any other offers.

Family living in 1 bed flat above me
I live alone in a small 1 bedroom flat (house conversion). There are two guys living above me also in a 1 bedroom flat, which is already a squeeze but bearable. However 2-3 times a year their family visit and live there for a couple of weeks which means there are 4 or 5 people in the flat above me. I don't really speak to…

Getting far higher prices when using Quidco
I have used Quidco and Rentalcars for many years. We reserved a car to use this year in the USA but we booked it at the worst time when the £ was low. It is for 6 weeks so it tracked at £366 cashback. When my husband did a search the price had gone down by £550 so that is quite a saving. I then logged into Quidco and did a…
