Some fruit and veg have gone up i.e. a large cucumber before Christmas was 60p and it's now 65p. Pot of original houmous was ?1 and it's now ?1.35. Pack of fish which was always a fixed price has gone up 20p. Noticed lots of other bits but can't remember prices before Christmas.

This is a list of the items Sainsbury's are saying are on 'lockdown'... https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/new---trending/price-lockdown-all#langId=44&storeId=10151&catalogId=10123&categoryId=417393&parent_category_rn=355372&top_category=355372&pageSize=36&orderBy=FAVOURITES_ONLY%7CSEQUENCING%7CTOP_SELLERS&searchTerm=&beginIndex=0&hideFilters=true&facet=

What you have to bear in mind with any savings a supermarket offers, is that some other products will go up in price to counter the savings. Supermarkets aren't in the business of giving away money...

Or maybe Sainsburys have discovered that most of their cleaning products, shower gels, wipes, bleach, bathroom, kitchen cleaning products (more or less everything on the list) can be bought in the local pound shops at cheaper prices so they are now 'locked down' for however long?

If you look around, you can find deals - coffee usually has markdowns in different shops at different times.


I manage to shop in Sainsbury's relatively cheaply, but it is hard work.


Apples vary from ?1.50 for 6 to ?3 for 4.


I do shop around though and get bits from different places mostly. Sainsbury is nearest though. I have noticed that not all items are priced on the shelves which is confusing. Nuts near the jam for instance - some packs are significantly cheaper than others for the same things. None are priced though so I get the cashier to check them and then decide which I want.

    • Hello - If anybody has any hifi valve amplifiers, working or in need of restoration, I'm keen to buy such things from you! I particularly like amps from the 50s and 60s, the sort of thing you used to find in old sideboards, but ultimately anything with glass tubes sticking out of them is of interest to me. I am also in the market for good quality hifi items in general, particularly faulty items in need of fixing and restoration. This includes turntables, amplifiers, cd players, speakers, graphic EQs, cassette players, reel to reel players, etc. etc. Ultimately, all electronic musical objects are of intrigue to me. Many thanks, and hope to hear from you soon, -Scott 07956 853 538  
    • Using the smart CCTV cameras is your best strategy - particularly if they have adequate infra-red capability. Setting them to be triggered by line crossing or areas of intrusion is worthwhile setting up as is linking them to a PIR sensor. The PIR could also be used to activate a sounder but that might upset your other neighbours. I have a few cameras around our property and I enjoy reviewing the recordings and apart from foxes and birds, I catch the occasional opportunistic thief on camera - like this one last Tuesday. If you need any help, please drop me a PM. S7.mp4
    • Not in Ed, but I was in NE England over the weekend and saw an otter in the wild! Never seen one before, it was quite lovely.
    • Well unless the heron got them later, there were the  two cootlets. I think some others of this year's babies must have escaped the heron. Many years ago (and possibly still, though I never see them any more) there was a whole heron family on the island  - mum, dad and youngster. I don't know how long herons live. Maybe this one is the grown up youngster.
