Morrisons rejected substitutes
Hi. Have any Morrisons online shoppers experienced rejected substitutes showing as accepted on their online orders? I've realised today it's happened at least 3 times to me so far this year including yesterday. The emailed receipt shows it as 'changes to your order' but doesn't say accepted and the item doesn't appear in…

Clubcard Challenges
Anyone else doing these? Currently I qualify for 600 points or £6 in vouchers. If I spend £44 on certain items in the next two weeks, this increases to 2950 points or £29.50 in vouchers. As I have two easyJet holidays to pay for this means I get £59 off. I'm sure I could get even more. I haven't actually bought anything I…

Bread Slicer - Lidl
Just returned from our annual trip to France. Every Lidl there has a bread slicer operated by the customer. Why can't they introduce them here? I suppose H & S reasons. I buy 3 loaves of the Low GI Multigrain a week (I am sure it has got smaller again) and I am rubbish at slicing bread. I will write to Lidl customer…

S'bury Organic Chicken Breast - difficult to leave a review
I bought this yesterday (Nectar discount) - stir fried it and it was tough, woody and tasteledss. Anybody else found this? I also found it impossible to leave a review, even though I can log in to S'bury. Tomorrow I will take back the remaining chicken breast with packaging and receipt and get a refund. Awful product.

Best own brand supermarket white chocolate
Hi, Can anyone recommend the best supermarket own brand white chocolate? For general eating but also sometimes melting for baking. I did really like the Sainsbury’s blue bar that was £2.30 but looks like just been discontinued and replaced with a new product with a different recipe and lower milk solids % (now 18% versus…

Accidental shoplifting
This is something of a money moral dilemma. If you found that the till assistant had somehow managed to not swipe an item, even though they had removed the security tag from said item, what would you do? Say this was a basket of several items and you weren't really paying attention and had asked your companion to actually…
