tea bags - nice cheaper alternative...?

martyp

hi all,
As i've just run out of PG pyramid tea bags i thought about getting something cheaper this time. It's nearly £2 for 80 at the supermarkets.
I shop at Sainsburys normally and noticed they have basics at 28p, other sorts including organic ones, all cheaper than the PG ones. Can anyone recommend a good alternative? Or somewhere with the pyramid ones on offer?
Many thanks

have you tried loose tea? Much better taste and cheaper? You just need a little strainer thingy

160 Twinnings @ Tesco ATM 4 £2 (save £1.89p)

Do you have a Home Bargains or Quality Save Store near you? I've seen PG tips there on a regular basis £3 for 240tea bags, last time they had an offer of 160 bags with a free beanie hat priced at £1.49.

The Sainsburys basics ones are really good and Fair Trade.
You can't really ask for more for 28p for 80!

I use the Lidl ones that are around 30p and they are fine. Put it this way, my brand snob husband hasnt noticed and we've been using them for over a year lol.

we have always used sainsburys red label they are quite often on half price and buy one get one free so we stock up. They are fairtrade also.

we either have lidl or asdas smart price, both about 30p is for 80, i buy them cus i think there the best, not because of the price.

One of my favourite teabags are the Asda Smartprice ones. The taste better than PG Tips, Tetleys etc and they're really inexpensive at about 30p per box

Agree completely. The tea is extra delicious with a thick slice of cake or a biscuit.
