My 1-1.5 months worth shop as a solo woman. (Mr is away training for 3months) Costs £60pcm to feed me, when partner is home all 6ft6 Marine it’s almost £100 per week!!!

🇬🇧Overpay your mortgage while you shop - if you’re going to buy it anyway why not get rewarded? 🛒🛍️🤑 This works and I really wish I had come across it sooner as it suits me and my own financial goals better than other traditional cashback sites! 👍🏻 I started using Sprive in February (missed the Dragons Den appearance - but read about it afterwards) and must say I am impressed with the concept; how easy it is to use; and how simple it was to set up and start using! Now I will keep on using it as it is projecting me to save £££s on my mortgage - just by doing my everyday shopping, and spending money, as I would be doing anyway. Seems like a no-brainer 🧠 In f...

I have had quite an intense fixation (thank you autism for not allowing me to have interests of normal intensity😅) on laundry over the past few months, and after an embarrassing number of hours spent scrolling through this subreddit, scouring after and deciphering ingredients lists, and taking in all the advice and knowledge that could possibly be helpful, I think I’ve finally got my routine nailed down to the point where I’m no longer stressed out about doing anything wrong or missing anything. I figured it could be useful to have it all written out and explained (as a “UK laundry guide” of sorts), in case there’s anyone who’s feeling overwhelmed or confused by all this newfo...

Why do these super markets never learn to put more people on delivery orders on Fridays and weekends. Just gone in Sainsbury’s and they are some how an hour behind all in a mad rush. They are almost like the government; reactive and not pro active……

Remember a few years ago when people used to copy and paste that **** hoax message on their Facebook walls? “IN THE NAME OF THE LAW I DO NOT AUTHORISE FACEBOOK TO STEAL MY PHOTOS” lol I feel like that same type of people are now having the same attitude about AI. I was on a train to Bath a few days ago, sitting near a lovely American grandma and her niece, and the entire trip they were looking at reels then commenting “that’s probably AI” to each one of them. It seems to me that older people’s new fear is to be played by AI, the young are just laughing about it and everyone in the middle is angry. What’s funny to me is that most of us lived our entire life lied to by the news...

Just wanted to ask what’s the best budget SLS free toothpaste i can buy? I have really bad reoccurring mouth ulcers ever since i was a kid and i notice it happens when i jump toothpaste (i don’t really do this but sometimes Colgate to another Colgate or oralB/ aqua fresh) never really cared as i would make my choice on whatever was on offer i would buy (i know that most toothpastes are marketing unless they are for sensitive teeth or contains cone additional ingredients) after discovering that SLS might be aiding to my ulcers. Naturally the question that comes to mind is what’s really the budget SLS free toothpaste people buy? i just can’t bring myself spending £5+ on a tube of t...
