Thanks everyone. Please continue to update reports on prices. I will bring first post up to date when I return home (just checking in on iPhone!)

The Tesco Extra in Peterborough has the nappy sacks for 4p - SEL states 27p..I only got 4 but may go and get more..I could probably find 4p on the walk to the shop!!!

There are 2 different size packs of value nappy sacks.
100 pack is 4p and 300 pack is 27p in my local extra - this may explain some of the confusion with different prices

We do most of our ‘big’ shop online so I sometimes miss out on deals but after reading this thread I searched for a few of the bargains listed last night while placing an order. The 100 x nappy bags are showing online as 4p too. Our shopping is due on Fri night so I’ll let you know if the price is honoured. We have a huge dog and have been told these make fab poop bags so I ordered 10 packs. I’ll just hand them back to the driver if they come in at a higher price. Then again, if they’re decent they’ll probably still be cheaper than good poop bags.

I also ordered some of the value shower gel (30p) as the wife goes through shower gel like crazy and I got the value Yorkshire puddings to try but couldn’t find the baby wipes at all. It can be really hard to find some items through the online shopping search bar.

Thanks to OP and others for starting this and finding the bargains, huge help when you’re on a tight budget

Agree with Cakesandbakes - I too shop mostly online and searching for bargains much more difficult that when I could just walk round the shop - so also thanks OP - its nice to have the online stuff pointed out - but like Cakesandbakes couldn't get the wipes - though I think I got face wipes quite cheap last week.
Think online they swamp us with 'offers' so its hard to find the good ones among all the rest.

Agreed, and tbh the offers they promote online aren't always as good as searching yourself amongst the regular items. I've found plenty of offers in meat/poultry but then searching myself in those sections has found lots of cheaper alternatives that are better than the supposed deal.

That's why these threads are invaluable, I can search for specific items much easier.

The only small bonus with online is that we sometimes get free trial items & they've made a few mistakes so we've ended up with extra items. My favourite is sometimes their substitute system has given us meat worth twice as much as what we've ordered but honoured the lower price as what I ordered wasn't in stock (doesn't happen often though!):D

Hi guys. Got loads of updates and additions on my notes but will add later. A mega hectic day. Phew.

Thanks a million.

Had my online delivery today and the nappy bags were delivered but at 25p per pack not 4p so I phoned them and got a refund for the difference . I just stated that since my email last night had them listed at 4p and it was not listed at the top of the receipt as a change I expected them to honour it.
