Hi,
Following the success of the Sainsbury's post on good/bad items thought it might be worth having a Tesco one for those who don't have a Sainsbury's nearby..
Items I've already tried:
Good items:
Plain Chocolate Digestives
Digestive Biscuits
Jaffa Cakes
Baked Beans
Lasagne Sheets

I would say make sure you check the price of "market value" fruit and veg against the normal kinds. Several times I have picked up the MV pack, only to notice the loose bananas or normal pack of peppers is quite a bit cheaper!!
This probably goes for all the value ranges too-the packs can tend to be a little smaller in size which can confuse you into thinking it's cheaper.
It's only a game

Value Cola isn't too bad, certainly drinkable...but avoid the Value Lemonade, tastes like soda water.
And the Value Cat Litter is perfectly fine, considering what it's used for.We have removed your signature - please contact the forum team if you are not sure why - Forum Team0 -

I like:
Tinned toms
Value loo roll (ok the rolls are small and not that soft but I have a 3year old that uses half a roll to wipe herself and a kitten that thinks he's the andrex puppy)
Tortilla chips - Fine, we have chilli nachos a lot so bargain!
Baked beans
Tuna - don't notice a difference from JW tuna once mayo has been added
Fruit is fine
Biscuits are nice
Bread
Part baked baguettes are fab for the price!
Kidney beans
Cat litter - It's lightweight which is a bonus, great for the poos, not so great on the wee's but I scoop twice a day, no problem.
Value turkey leg, it's a bit tough even when cooked, but once you strip it, it's enough to make a few pies
Ketchup is nice, slightly vinegary? Also the glass bottles are a bit of a nightmare, it starts crusting at the top!
Not so good -
The fromage frais yoghurts, all watery at the top, DD (3) says they taste like poopy, so back to munch bunch and petite filous!
Squash isn't that nice0 -
Agree on the part baked baguettes, we used to use them all the time when I worked as a chef.£2 Savers Club 2011 (putting towards a deposit) - £5880

Mushrooms
Other fruit and veg but check prices
frozen veg
Jaffa cakes
shortbread (9p a packet!)
actually most of the value biscuits and sweets are great
pasta
Gammon joints
thin steak
tuna is ok but doesn't seem as good as it used to be
Extra strong/mature cheddar
corn/maize snacks
ready salted crisps
And I live in a fussy house
