I particularly like that they're encouraging us to screenshot and share - do you think Sainsbury's have been reading my diary and cottoned on to something 🤔?

Hmm, I always wondered if you were a PR guru for Sainsbury's on the quietMortgage Free November 2018

That would make a lot of sense @Staffordia 🤣
Sadly I only reached the bronze position for thai sweet chilli harvest snaps (baked lentil based puff things) and that's only because DH eats them pretty much every week - so I hate to think how many the top 1 and 2 bought!Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20173 -
LOL, in real life I moan about Sainsbury's and how expensive it is, so perhaps I should only be a brand ambassador for them online 🤣! Seem to find myself getting more and more from them lately as Lidl are still sold out of things regularly, plus Asda took out all but 4 checkouts (replaced with trolley and basket self-checkouts, but it just makes the whole place a bit hellish), so you need to brace yourself to go in there. The Nectar points are my reward for the silly prices!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

My local Asda has also done that with the checkouts, to reduce my hassle I use "shop and scan" on the rare occasions I shop there as at least that way I can pack my bags as I shop.
Not that I was a big fan of their checkouts locally as they were so slooooow.Fashion on a ration 2025 0/66 coupons spent

Our checkouts are fast enough, but they take AGES to give you a receipt 🙁!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Funny you should say that, recently our local Asda had the petrol station 'up graded' so now it is only pay at pump. The receipts take forever to print and each time I nearly give up thinking the machine has run out of paper.Fashion on a ration 2025 0/66 coupons spent
