Suggestions of expensive things in Tesco?!

Hi
I have a £3 off £20 spend voucher to use this week, and when we went shopping on Sunday we also got a £6 off £40 spend voucher that also needs using this week.
Now, we are going on holiday next Friday (24th) but don't want to waste these, so can you suggest any pricier things we can buy that will keep? We are ex-DFWs so don't want to be buying things that are just expensive compared to value brands.
So far, we have thought of bulk buying value chopped toms, value sweetcorn, value beans, a big bag of pasta, a big bag of rice...Breakfast cereal...Wine (especially if the points offer is still on)...I'm kind of at a loss as we tend to eat a lot of fresh food!
Thanks!

Washing powder and loo roll are what I would buy if we didn't need anything else.0

Unless you don't drink, get some bottles of wine - 3 for £10 on some of them.0

Stock up on coffee and tea... they keep for ages. Cheese... they have some on half price and the bb date is a couple of months. Any other basics that keep... sugar, flour, jam.
Sweets, drinks etc. for your trip.TOP MONEYSAVING TIP
Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!0 -

The 4-pack of John West tuna is half price at the moment. What about fabric softener, kitchen roll and soft drinks/longlife juices/squashes?0

buy some cheese and milk or cream, all those items will freeze perfectly for ages.MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOUR0

After loo roll and washing powder, the Health & Beauty section is often our most expensive part of the non-perishable shop - razor blades, toothpaste, shampoo etc - it's surprising how easy it is to spend £20+ just there.
The other option of course is do you need any clothes, suncream, first aid bits etc for the holiday?

Don't spend anything and have £40 more for your holiday. Do you think the £6 is really 'free'?0
