skintstudentbabe

1carminestocky-cudnt agree more re sainsburys basics teabags!!!cant get enuf of them here!!! anyway as we are talking about smartprice products here comes my bit........i buy the following smartprice items and find them to be fine..:
washing up liquid - does the job and lasts as long as the next brand up
scrubby sponges - i get thru tons of these as they r so useful
white dishcloths - these rewash nicely
blue cloths - i use these to clean out my hamsters cage
polish - no real scent to it which i prefer, polishes well
yellow dusters -
toilet cleaner - nice pine smell , brings my toilet up sparkly white
natural yoghurt -works well in smoothies
cat litter - does the job well enuf for my cat
gammon steaks - crisp up nicely nt too much fat on them either
lemonade - mixes well with vodka
eggs - eggs r eggs
teabags - i like these and think their taste is fine
white wine - bit light tasting but ok
red wine - nice and soft tasting
turkey pieces - lovely in a curry but use some fat or liquid to cook them or they go dry
chopped tomatoes - buy loads of the cartons of these
kidney beans - cook well in a chilli
pitta bread -
crumpets -
soft cheese - nice and creamy, works well as a topping on a baked potato
sliced ham - ok in sandwiches
frozen cheese/tom pizza - nice as a quick tea
fabric softener - nt much scent which is good for me, doesnt make me itch
foil - useful for sandwich wrappings
swing bin liners - perfectly useable
food bags -
plastic storage tubs
cola - was ok but went flat very quick
orange squash -
orange juice -
vodka - ok but prefer a pricier option
handwash - decant into a ceramic one and no1 can tell the difference




i didnt like;
bio laundry liquid - made me itch violently
coffee - yuck!!!foul and bitter
shower gel - smelt like toilet cleaner
lager - BBBBLLLLEEEEEUUUURRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!
ready meals - looked like slop
oven or fry chips - prefer aldi ones
wholemeal bread - goes mouldy very quickly

ASDA Smartprice Smoked Cooking Bacon Pieces (500g) - Ideal for cooking, small broken bits of bacon
ASDA Smartprice Baked Beans & Sausages in Tomato Sauce (420g) - @ only 29p I can not believe how much a enjoy these. Genuinely nice and not as salty as beans from aldi or lidl
ASDA Smartprice Chilli Con Carne (392g) - @ 50p, lovely! Can't fault it one bit.
ASDA Smartprice Custard Creams (400g) - @ 30p... I LOVE THESE, would pick these even if I got offered branded for free!

bought asda smartprice tomato soup today 17p for a 400g tin, tastes good but could stand a bit of water or milk to thin it down a bit

I just opened some Lemon curd (22p) it's quite nice for a change on toast.

Just had smartprice golden vegetable savoury rice. Verdict - does the job, but I wouldn't choose it again unless I was really skint (after all, a meal for 28p or whatever, can't complain)

Smartprice Dust Pan and Brush - not recommended

The edge to the dust pan is rubbish and it's hard to sweep things into it without them falling out again.
