I'm staggered that the £53 can go up to £65! That's so cheeky! I'm not sure I would ahve sent it back though as it's so much hassle doing it all over again - but you are right though. The principle of it (let alone the cost) is terrible - and they probably count on lazy people like me not noticing or not bothering to complain...0

I have since heard of Mr T doing it to many people it's quite normal. Doing the shopping again was easy as i has the delivery list and just typed it into Mr A just waiting for it to arrive now so i can start on dinner for tonight.
Just dyed my hair cost £3.25 for the dye instead of £65 at the hairdressers :T also didnt have my hair blow dryed yesterday at the hairdresser and it saved me £11. Im getting good at savings not so good at making any extra money.MARCH 2016 DEBT £25750/ £25035

Asda shop arrived with no subsitutes :T and in time for me to make dinner. Still thinking about putting a complaint into Tesco think they must share a call centre with Lloyds staff :rotfl:

I was thinking of putting in an extra weeks shopping money in the next budget to avoid this problem, but that's £30 less for Lloyds so I don't think I will bother.LBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)

I have to remember to transfer shopping money to my cc as had to pay on it while tescos are messing about refunding me. Asda shop came in at £46.01 so saved loads thanks to Tescos being greedy I'll not bother using them again.MARCH 2016 DEBT £25750/ £25035

Hey HWG!
Good on you telling Mr T where to stick his overpriced shopping!I don't get on with them at all. Deffo Get a letter of complaint written
bet you get a voucher out of it!
I love ASDA online shopping- cheap and cheerful! Every week I do the price guarantee check and am always at least a fiver cheaper than Tesco.
If I were you I'd remortgage the 30K - I bet you will save loads which can all be pumped back in as overpayments! Do it!
Love BR x0 -
Morning all, we have made it to pay week !!!!!
Had a really rough night kept thinking about debt maybe it's because i am slacking off this month so we can go to a few xmas parties, not sure we would get approved for the extra £30k on the mortgage as we borrowed some in march to sort DH car out. We will have a look at it again in the new year it all depends how much I can get onto 0%
Bank account is looking poorly so hope DH doesnt need petrol today as its still £65 short from tesco.
Hope today flys past ready for my bed and ive only just got out of it.MARCH 2016 DEBT £25750/ £25035
