A Quick Question.....

Comments

  • Personally I try to vary the brands/own brands that I buy and then go for the ones that I like best, if I see one that I haven't tried before then I will give that a go - to me higher price doesn't equal higher quality.

    For example - If I want a whole chicken I tend to go for M&S as you get so much meat on them and they are delicious, for chorizo I go for Lidl because I like the taste more than that available in Waitrose/M&S/Sainsbury's/Tescos, for Jaffa cakes I get Asda Smartprice because I like them more than real Jaffa Cakes and they cost about 1/3 of the price.

    Some you win, some you lose but if you don't give them a go you won't know

    M&S new baby potato'e aren't any different to Sainsbury's new baby potatoes - but there's an 71p per bag difference!

    I don't know about baby new pots, BUT M&S satsumas ARE better than anyone elses.

    When ever I eat them the girls at work nearby smell them without seeing them, last week I had some regular old morrisons ones & no one noticed. They didn't burst with an orangy smell.

    Quality for me every time, I would rather have less of it, than compromise.

    Free range eggs, Waitrose or M&S chicken, taste the difference beef, M&S mince & sausages, very fussy about meat & things like that.

    And your point is? So I can't spell potato? Some people's grammer is appalling but I don't feel the need to comment.
  • I didn't vote as the poll has ridiculously limited options.

    I will go for as cheap a brand as the quality of the food allows.

    Also the cheapest brands at different supermarkets have differences in quality, I prefer Tesco value tuna to Asda smart price tuna

    Can't speak for the value brands, but I think Sainsburys own brand is way ahead of Asda, Tesco & Morrisons.

    It's a new way of mis-spelling potato that i have never seen before. I've seen an apostrophe in various plural versions but not in a singular form. The point is that there are so many funny mis-spellings of potato, and if you clicked the link you would see a that mis-spelling potato is a matter for national news. I think they'll be discussing this thread on news at 10 tonite!

    No. I don't look for them, and i make plenty of mistakes myself, and i'm sure you can spell potato. However, not all spelling mistakes make humorous headline news, and become world famous though. Perhaps i have a problem with my humour being too much inline with popular culture!:D
    My post was not to take the micky out of you, make you all defensive and grumpy, but to share a funny video -sorry!
