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…

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…

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…

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…

Tesco Price Rises
I only buy a few items from Tesco as I shop mainly at Lidl, but noticed last week price rises on some items I buy every week. Then on another forum I see someone else mentioned it. Perhaps they hope that shoppers don't notice it. I wonder what has driven the price rise, a deliberate strategy every six months, or their…

Nectar Points not getting credited to account.
Nectar works with various partners. In fact there are over 500 of them. Ebay is one of them. I buy off eBay regularly. To those who are unaware, you have to go through the Nectar using the app or the website where it directs you to the partner, (eBay). You make your purchase and then the next day you get an email notifying…

Tesco not honouring vouchers at the till...
I had an issue in Tesco yesterday. On a previous trip, I'd got a voucher with my receipt for a free product on my next visit. Yesterday, I put that item in my basket, checking carefully that it was the right product, right brand, size etc. It was. But at the till, it wouldn't give me the product free - it just knocked off…

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…

Redeeming Tesco Clubcard Vouchers
I've just redeemed some Clubcard points for vouchers to use towards pub meals. I would normally print out the vouchers (old-fashioned, I know, but I am ancient). However that facility has apparently been withdrawn, and the only way to use your vouchers now is via the app on your phone. Tesco don't even send an email to…

Decided as was having an Asda shop would get theirs…

Co-op fake 'Unusual Activity' competition email
Anyone else annoyed at the Coop competition email with the header 'we’ve detected unusual activity on your membership' So irresponsible especially less than a year after they allowed themselves to be hacked and all our information compromised.

Wholemeal flour
I bought some Bacheldre wholemeal flour at Waitrose and the package says that the fibre content is only 3%. That seems extremely low for wholemeal. Normally it is about 10%. This is stoneground flour from a small water mill in Wales, so it’s possible that the package is not accurate. I don’t really want to raise the issue…
