What is the ONE thing you refuse to scrimp and save on?

Another vote here for Heinz baked beans. My other insistence is that my coffee has no chicory in it - revolting.

Oops children have just pointed out that I'm fussy about butter - if I can't afford completely unsalted, it has to be 'slightly salted' - none of that bright yellow Anchor stuff for me.

Football! I couldn't go without it, although I am cutting down.

Also, diet coke, only proper coca cola will do.

I'm fussy about bread and cheese. Most other things I'll buy value, but I will only do fresh wholegrain bread, and certain cheeses.

My husband is really fussy about milk.

Heinz baked beans - yum yum

Mine's got to be this one too! Also crunchy nut cornflakes! I don't mind scrimping on some things but food is my small luxury and i don't see why i should eat food i don't like just because its cheap. I don't buy expensive food and a lot of it is cheaper versions, but i like some brand names, makes me feel better.

And lets be honest, a lot of the cheaper food is full of rubbish like [more] chemicals, colourings etc. so by buying the better brand you get better quality and have better health, so will save in the long term health stakes.

That's how I look at it anyway

It might sound really boring, but the one area I refuse to scrimp on is tyres for the car.... I tried cheap ones once and they nearly killed me when I hit some standing water on the motorway, so never again.....

Doesn't mean I won't hunt around for the best price though... and then haggle some....:money:
