Do the self-service tills at supermarkets accept paper £50 notes?
I have a few of the old paper £50 notes. I know that these remain legal tender until September 2022 and I know that many shops don't like them, but does anyone know if I can change them in a supermarket's self-service till?

ASDA launching a one hour delivery service
If you live within 3 miles of Halifax, Poole and Rotherham ASDA stores, you can deliver up to 70 items for one hour delivery, but there's a £8.50 delivery charge.

ASDA online shopping and multibuys - beware!!
As you will all probably know, Asda offers regular meal deals and multibuy offers. However, I am sensing sharp practice going on as three times (the latest being today) none of the discounts have been applied. Speaking to Customer Service is a waste of time as they repeatedly say 'there are no multibuys/meal deals on my…

It hasn't been mentioned much and I only saw it on Twitter this week - apologies if this has been covered already. It will cost Tesco money to convert the stores from Metro to Express eg signage.

I am moving to a new build in the Northampton area, but Morrisons say they don't deliver to the postcode on my new address (although I had no problems updating my details and getting a delivery slot for the postcode on Morrisons sister site Ocado).

Driving to different supermarkets to save?
Considering the journey and travel costs, is it worth driving to different supermarkets where prices are cheaper for specific products? Or is it more effective just buying all the groceries from one supermarket? Anyone have any experience with real numbers on savings that they can share?

Hello Fresh / Gousto etc
Although seemingly expensive, the introductory deals can be quite cheap. I got a box of 3 meals for 3 people for £5 from Hello Fresh for example. However I'm not sure about the longevity. The box (2 people, 4 meals) is now £25 and that's with 30% off. While the average portion price is usually fairly good, it's still more…

What happens if you arrive late to collect your shopping? I shall need to pick up some groceries near the end of a five-hour drive and traffic could mess up the timings. Is this likely to work?

Hauliers threaten to boycott Lidl
Basically, hauliers in crisis, with drivers self-isolating or ill, have had trucks turned away by Lidl, for turning up later than expected, to distribution centres. As a consequence, hauliers are threatening to boycott Lidl, for being inflexible in a time of crisis. Lidl is being boycotted by hauliers for being…

Online Grocery Shopping - Refunds
We have been using Morrisons and Ocado for our shopping for well over a year due to CV19 shielding. It is interesting how differently the two supermarkets manage refunds. Recently, we had an Ocado order and a milk bottle was split covering all the contents in one container with milk. We were told by the delivery lady to…

Returning faulty fridge item
I purchased a chilled food product from a local supermarket last week with a use by date of 13/07/21. It's now gone mouldy and I tried to return it but they refused as they said they can't guarantee the conditions it was stored in at home. I know that a non-faulty perishable product can't be returned but does this apply to…

Received food not ordered and not paid for... do I keep it?
Hi, just had an online food delivery and there were 4 items I didn't order included (Muller Light Millionaire Shortbread Flavour Yogurt, 4 x 6 packs = total £9). I would normally be honest and ring them up but am I entitled to keep these items? I really don't want somebody coming back to pick them up, but realise the…

Where are the dried prunes gone in supermarkets?
My dad loves having a few of them in his porridge most days and now down to final pack. We can't get them anywhere in supermarkets. Asda, Aldi, Lidl and Sainsburys. Why is this? There are some on Amazon which are very expensive (£8+ a kilo) or have £3.50 p&p on them.

Speciality Spirits.

spirits is £28.74 per litre of pure alcohol. So a litre of ‘full strength’ (40%
abv) spirit has a duty charge of £11.50.…

I log in into the site without booking a slot and the price drops back down to £1.50, basically if…
