    If you are spending more than 30 GBP on your grocery shop then you are doing it wrong.
    Yes, of course. Everyone can feed and clean a family of 4 for less than £30 a week - every week.

    Ask the checkout op to stop before £30 and pay then again and again. as already mentioned. Bit of a pain but it works. I have done it on a Christmas shop of £250.

    You can lead a person to free money but cannot make them take it!

    The weekly shop is moribund. Just buy things as and when you need them.

    Thanks Westie. I don't think our local Morrisons is geared up for contactless, it certainly isn't at their petrol station.

    All Morrisons terminals should accept contactless now. Have you been in recently?

    So that'll be why I never see anyone pushing large trolleys full of stuff around supermarkets then. Oh....

    Nice of you to dictate the correct way for people to live their lives!

    This is fine if you live close to a reasonbly priced shop (or any shop in fact). If you have to make a special trip then it really works out as an expensive, and time-consuming, way of doing things.

    Not to the store as we get our main shopping delivered, but I have been to the petrol station there quite recently.

    Wonder if there is just a fault at that store. Should definitely be available.

    Thats a surprise, both the shop and the petrol station accept apple pay and contactless. I use apple pay more now as I don't have to get my purse out, but I used to use my TSB card before I got a phone that allowed apple pay.

    Great unless you have one of those vouchers that said you have to spend £40 in one shop, but I have broken my shop into smaller limits using the self service, this is normally as I have two or more vouchers to use so I split my shop up.
