It's two months till Christmas and the seasonal sandwiches are now appearing on shelves. Tesco is first up with its festive fillers ...

Not For EU Food
Last night, I had Deliveroo and a movie. My Deliveroo order included Co-op British pork cocktail sausages. Nothing on the Deliveroo or Co-op websites but in the bottom right hand corner, on the use by panel, it had Not For EU on it. Though the government will surely try weasel words, this phrase means that UK food…

Evian and tethered caps on plastic bottles
You might not be seeing them yet, if you buy shrink-wrapped 6 x 500ml packs of Evian, but tethered plastic bottle caps have appeared on bottles in 24 x 500ml boxes. I find them irritating and emailed Evian. From July 2024, the European Union will require all plastic bottles under 3 litres, to have tethered caps. So this…

Sainsbury's Nectar
I used my nectar points to the value of £124 to purchase on click and collect 3 days ago. All went fine but this morning I've been notified that my order has been cancelled, good job I wasn't waiting for food! Ok I thought, there's obviously a problem, I'll call in to store later and get the wine I ordered then. Wrong -…

Where to buy small samples of variety coffee beans?
Hi. I can't seem to find a supplier that sells small quantities of a variety of coffee bean samples. Can anyone recommend one please?

Sainsbury's pricing
Is it legal for sainsbury to show a price on each item in your online shopping basket, and then charge a different but unidentifiable price on your actual bill when the shopping is delivered? For example, they recently had £12 meal deals plus 25% off wine. I ordered a meal deal and the discounted prices for each item were…

Personalised loyalty card discounts. Are they ethical?
I'm used to getting vouchers at the till for my next visit, but I expect that the price I'm charged at checkout will be the same as the person next to me. Loyalty cards hit the press this year with reports that prices were being inflated so that loyalty cards looked to be like savings, but last month I had a notice from…

Nectar points problem
Hello, Not sure if this is the correct board for this thread or not. I have collected some 23,000 nectar points worth £115 but have been unable to spend them. Sainsburys told me to contact nectar and when I tried to create vouchers on ebay it says that I need to contact the primary cardholder to request permission to spend…

Monthly food shopping bill - couple
We eat well, lots of veg and salad....but with the joint account needing to be bailed out again, we've just been looking at our outgoings and it turns out that my other half's 'top up' shopping is costing as much as all of our other shopping, which I do 90% of. We shop between Aldi, Lidl and Sainsbury's depending on what…

Anyone else sick and tired of holes in bread and apples in supermarkets ?
Im sick and tired of seeing lots of bread with at least one tiny hole in the plastic so it goes off very soon, and I'm fed up of buying packs of 4 big apples so when you open them, two of the apples have a hole in, you can't check the apples properly before buying because the wrapping hides the holes or bruises.

Water Filter cartridges
We’ve always used Brita cartridges in our water filter jug but since they went ‘green’ with a new filling they don’t last five minutes and the price is ridiculous. We’ve tried a couple of cheaper generic ones but honestly I could have knitted the Forth Bridge waiting for water to filter through one and the other just…

Sainsbury’s Christmas club card
Hi, to use the Sainsbury’s Christmas club as payment method online, it requests to enter the name on the card - there is no name on the card as it’s a club card and I’m struggling to register my card.
