I've been doing my on-line shopping for what seems like hours. I definitely have a good few bargains in my basket, but it's around this stage I do wonder if it might not be quicker to just go to Sainsburys. Of course, if I just clicked on all my favourites I'd have been done in no time - but then I might have missed the £18 savings on the first £40 of stuff I ordered. Here's hoping the 24 bottles of beer all turn up this time, otherwise I'm going to have to go to Sainsburys anyway  OMG - Bells do Whisky and Ginger in cans

I did a shop with Tesco and Asda via MySupermarket.com and saved a fortune. I bought everything with points and same price from Tesco. and all the cheaper items from Asda. Even the fact that I had two deliveries meant that I still saved way more than the cost of the extra delivery. I saved £30 in all in one shop.

Don't forget the Asda price promise - if it's not 20% cheaper they refund twice the difference, so if something is £1 on both shops Asda give you 40p off. Or something like that. I just got over £7 off on the promise anyway, in addition to the things that were £20 cheaper in total.

I know, it always seems a quick and easy option until 3 hours later you realise you could have been there and back and made a meal with what you'd bought.

Yes but then you do need to plan in advance. It is not a great solution for a last minute shop.

For the people who read mutiple blogs....
Is there a more elegant solution than a crapload of bookmarks and checing each site every day? And I don't want anything to do with Google Reader thanks. I've never used RSS, is that any good? Is there some other cool way of doing it?

RSS is pretty sweet, i have my Firefox bookmark bar full of news site RSS feeds, saves having to set them all as homepages or check them individually. used to have a couple of blog feeds too, but they stopped getting updated so i removed them.

I use RSS too for blogs. I also shorten the name down two letters or something so they don't take up much space.

I use Newsfire which is a shareware news reader. I have hundreds of RSS news feeds and makes it so much easier to sort out what to actually read. I get around a thousand links a day but you can scan through the headings to minimise what you actually read.

I'm not drinking coffee and it's not remotely funny. May re-watch tomorrow when I've got a coffee.
