Most questionable yellow sticker deal?
These Mr Kipling cakes were marked down to more than the shelf ticket price… Which bargains have you spotted that weren't all that they seemed? Not quite the same as the price was at least going in the right direction, but this 70p discount on a £49 product didn't seem to justify the hype:

Have you had a online shop from Sainsburys delivered today? If So check you bill now!!
🚨 Sainsbury’s shoppers - CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS TODAY 🚨 I placed an online grocery order with Sainsbury's yesterday with an estimated total of £92.93. After substitutions and one missing item, my bill should have been around the same but I was actually charged £102.59. After going through everything line by line, I found:…

Lidl app problems
Is anyone else having problems with their coupon plus spend bar on the app? My spend has gone backwards! I shopped there on Monday and I should now have spent enough for the 10% off coupon but it hasn't updated. I checked on the website and it says to wait 48 hours and then contact them if it hadn't sorted itself out. I…

Free plastic bag for meat and fish
I work in a supermarket that doesn't have the small plastic bags for fruit and veg. Most people just pack their veg with other packaged goods. I had a customer yesterday insist I gave him a free compostable 10p bag for his meat. I asked a manager and they said just let him have it. I just wondered legally do we HAVE to…

Instant Gold Coffee
I'm a philistine when comes to coffee, happy with instant milky coffee. For years been buying the Aldi own Gold freeze-dried and never used a full spoon, the last jar I started using more ( i don't think my taste has changed) I had a search and noticed others complaining. Decided as was having an Asda shop would get theirs…

Long life milk opinions
I'm getting an operation that will keep me immobile for some weeks. Friends have offered to pick up things for me but they are on holiday at different times so it's a bit iffy for milk. So some long life was suggested. I hate the stuff so have no experience. Picked up some from Morrisons.😛 But full, semi, which tastes…

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…

Iceland Rip-off
I made an online purchase from Iceland which came to £84.25 and after the 3 for 2 offers it came to £69.69. I then had a voucher for £15 when spending over £40, bringing the price down to £54.69. One of the items was out of stock (Baileys iced yule log at half price £4) but NOT included in any of the 3 for 2. They have…

Iphone app for loyalty cards
Hi everyone, I've been using the Stocard app on my iPhone to store loyalty cards such as Clubcard and Nectar. I like it because it can be used offline when I have no Internet / signal and can also be used on my Apple Watch, even when it is not connected to the Internet or my phone. I had a notification the other day saying…

Aldi Mayonnaise
Had to vent on this one. Been buying the product for many years. Stood up to the main big brands - at a fraction of the price. Bough a new jar last week. It had a new colour label - didn't take much note to be honest. They've changed the recipe - and it is terrible. They've also changed the name from "Real Mayonnaise" to…

Meridian Peanut Butter 1Kg tub
Anyone know how on earth you get this open? I've bought it twice and both times when I've pulled the plastic tab, it's come off in my hand. And I've spent about 20 minutes sawing the lid off with a sharp knife. Anybody else had this battle or am I missing something?

Asda Wine offer
Yet another reason for avoiding Asda. February 2026. Change to their 25% off when you buy 6 bottles. Now it does not apply to all wines above a certain price. Only applies to selected wines. I won't be shopping there again.

Anyone else use Miele twindos ?
I recently purchased a high end Miele machine and got free ultraphrase detergent to use with the twindos system and I am so impressed I decided to stock up on more, never going back to regular detergent now :smiley: While it’s not the cheapest, I will only stock up when Miele send me a discount code like they did for Black…

Lidl Plus free-item vouchers - what criteria do they use to give you these?
I'm an irregular shopper at Lidl (I tend to do hauls when they have certain specials on), and have a Lidl Plus card, which I recently received a whole load of free-item coupons on. In just one visit yesterday, I bagged for free: A Deluxe quiche (large 450g one) 6 pack of fruit-corner yoghurts A free large sourdough loaf…
