    I was told this afternoon - by the checkout lady in Sainsbury's - that Sainsbury's will be going from £30 to £45 on 1 May.
    My local sainsubury's had £45 signs on the card readers when I went yesterday morning.
    Well done I didn't spot that yesterday evening.
    Only managed 16 pounds essential groceries.

    will be heading out to Sainsbury's tomorrow - with 6 adults in the house even a quick whizz around for essentials can often top £30 but rarely £45 so that will be useful
    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
    Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
    Smiling and waving and looking so fine

    All of this and B&Q (well my local one anyway) don't take contactless at all!

    One of the Argos's in Huddersfield is the same, contactless only works on the self service screens.
  • Don't know why they didn't just make a nice round, easy to remember, 50 quid.

    Why does it matter? Contactless doesn't always work anyway, if it doesn't just use chip and pin, job done!
