Money Moral Dilemma

Every week, the Money Tips email features a real-life Money Moral Dilemma (MMD for short). They're intended to encourage debate and, as such, they're usually among the most discussed threads each week.

See what our MSE Forumites had to say and add your own thoughts on the Money Moral Dilemma discussion thread. Do please stick to the MSE Forum rules: keep it kind and keep it clean. Remember, there's a real person behind every dilemma.

Got a Money Moral Dilemma of your own? Email us at MMD@moneysavingexpert.com and it could be featured.

Your two cents

Last weekend I was in a charity shop and was surprised to see bottles of Lidl tomato ketchup on sale at twice the original price. That led me to ask: what's the strangest thing you've seen for sale in a charity shop?

I enjoyed the reply from one MoneySaver on Facebook who told us about their struggle to reclaim their daughter's lunch box: "She left it there when we popped in on the way home. I went back the next day. It was on the shelf with a price sticker on. I said it was my daughter's and that we'd accidentally left it, the woman was very dubious and thought I was trying it on. I opened it, and the remains of her lunch were still inside "
