Earlier this month I started my blog and since then have dealt with issues from supermarket café service to moving static caravans, supermarket bargains to beauty buys and shared some random thoughts, loyalty card ratings and shopping sayings. Here’s a quick update and reminder of some of the highs and lows.
Highs –
Found some great bargains: £1 shower curtain from Poundland, it’s looking great, a big improvement on my old (more expensive) one; Tesco Everyday Value lunch bag £1.50 (great for my son’s packed lunch); Ella Valentine Free Range Baking Eggs, £1.29 from Sainsburys and Colgate pump pack toothpaste 95p at Wilkinson to name but a few.
Praised: £7 Dolphin SIM from Orange (15th September), Tesco Café soup and roll lunch (Soup and Roll Saga Continues 17th September), and Prima Magazine Subscription (Magazine Prices and Deals 15th September)
Launched my website www.shoppersjoy.co.uk with plans to add more pages in October.
Lows –
A surly manager and poor lunch at a branch of Greggs saw me sending a letter of complaint (Managers – Good and Bad 14th September). To date I still have had no response.
I bemoaned the changing price of the Doctor Who Adventures magazine (15th September). This week the price reached an all time high of £3.99. Yes, there were more gifts, but it’s the magazine my son wants, no gifts, better price.
K&Co have still not managed to react appropriately to my emails (More Haste, Less Sense K&Co 15th September), firstly reading all the right words in my email but apparently not in the right order, then responding correctly in words to my second, but failing to put those words into action. Still no Autumn/Winter Catalogue!
I wonder what October will bring? If you have any shopping or consumer highs and lows that you would like me to mention email me at comments@shoppersjoy.co.uk
