It's getting tough out there. Feeling the pinch?

Waitrose offers weekly coupons but you have to download them onto a smartphone.  And the app doesn’t work on my perfectly usable IPhone 5
Lidl also do money off vouchers through their Lidl plus app every Thursday.  That one does work on an old phone

Waitrose is my local supermarket I choose my vouchers on the laptop and take photographs of them with my phone. Then scan the photos at the supermarket checkout, Hope this helps.

The Asda Reward  is worth having on your phone, I don't go every week or buy anything other than my normal shopping but it's adding up slowly. It works if you get your shopping home delivered too.

I have two separate MyWaitrose cards, one for me and one for DH. I use mine for the weekly app vouchers using scan and shop, whereas his card still gets money off vouchers through the post as it rarely gets used - this week he got multiple £8 off a £40 shop which I will be using to stock up for Christmas and foodie gifts.

Hi, can anyone help? The over sixty discount in Iceland on a Tuesday, what ID do you need, I don’t have a driving licence, would my passport do? Thank you😘 seems funny to take a passport in just for a few things but times are difficult 😳

I am sure a passport would be OK = it also mentions bus pass

borefest

@ellenvan thank you don’t have bus pass so passport it is xxx

I'm sure a passport should be ok too.

I don't routinely have a driving license with me (it's at home in the safe) but do almost always carry a passport with some paperwork in a pack in my pocket.

I had to nip into Asda's to pick up some bits for my DD yesterday and I have the Asda's app on my phone. Both myself and the lass on the till couln't get it to work properly, and she said there had been a good few people who were in the same position Everytime we tried to scan it, the app would just log us off .I gave up in the end, and emailed customer services when I got home It seems pointless to have a big advetising campaign for an app that isn't working properly. I may just delete it and go elsewhere. Plus the store looked like it was in need of a darned good cleanI know it was Saturday late afternoon but the amount of litter and rubbish in the shop was quite disturbing,as I expect a food shop to be fairly clean. There were half empy trolley blocking many of the aisles which I thought was hazardous. I eventually came out put the bits in my car and thought I'll use the loo while I'm here as I was going to pick up my grandson from work.These were in a disgusting state and I did a swift about turn and came out smartish.

I wish I'd gone to Lidl's across the road from there as that shop is always spotlessly clean and tidy

Sorry Asda its a definite thumbs down from me

Auntycaz that’s such a good idea!  Thank you!  My DDs are on at me to get a new phone but it seems so wasteful when the old one works fine for everything except that - even my banking app works on it. That and the bus app are what I mainly use, and texting and phoning the family.  I pay £7 a month for Tesco mobile and always have data leftover so what would be the point of spending money on a new phone

When my phone dies I always go to the 'game' and 'cex' type shops for a new one. The phones are in perfectly good condition and the staff really know their stuff.  It is more money up front to buy another one (sim-free) but it's a lot cheaper overall than getting a brand new one and paying monthly.
