Tesco Value Good/Bad Items

minjara

Hi there. Apologies if this has been up already but I searched and couldn't find one any time soon so thought I would post one so we can share our thoughts seeing as I could see a Mr A one and a Mr S one.

Well over the last two days after I've got my Mr T shop I've so far had:

Tesco Salad Cheese - I love this stuff as it is great with spinach in a pitta, or in sandwiches or salads, very very tasty and a good alternative to feta.

Chocolate Gateau Bar - Just had a bit with my OH and this is absolutely devine. Sticky, gooey, light, fluffy and very moreish!!

Meatballs in Tomato Sauce - These taste just like Campbells/Bentos meatballs bar they are chicken meatballs, and I actually prefer that. Depending on the tin, the sauce can be a bit oily but the last tin which has just been polished of was delish!!!

Add more to the list as I munch!

Well the tesco rump steaks are so tender too. not too much fat comes out and the knife goes through it like butter. A nice medium steak. You cant beat it!!

The value apples are consistently nice

Chocolate gateau bar? That's a new one on me, and I can't find it on the Tesco website! Sounds gorgeous though...is it in the cake section? How much is it?

Chuck in some tomato puree and a squirt of Reggae Reggae sauce, it cuts the artificiality of the sauce.

I don't really want to think of which bit of the poor battery chicks goes into them though.

Tesco Value Bran Flakes are a great buy at 78p for 1kg.
Their Weetabix equivalents, Value Custard Creams (30p for 400g), 6 pack of Value Fromage Frais (18p) are good too.

Well on my order its in the Fridge section under Tesco Value Chocolate Fudge Gateau for £2. Its great. Really gooey. I'd say enough for about 7 or 8 bits

I love the Tesco Value Plain Chocolate too, this is nice melted and drizzled over fruit. Very scrummy and of course you are having fruit!!!

I do like most of the value products range and have tried most of the products, however I don't rate the value rich tea biscuits and the pasta sauce has an interesting consistency. Prices can also fluctuate and sometimes the brand name or similar may work out better value. I really like the shortbread fingers (16p today) and the UHT skimmed value milk is also very good value.

I used to buy Weight Watchers caramel wafers at around £1.40 a packet. The value ones taste exactly the same, have a similar calorie content and are around 40p!

DH prefers value mayo to any other but doesn't like the ketchup

My diet means I dont eat cheese very often (I love really strong stuff) but DH and DS like the mild junk so that's always value.

Value stewing steak is delish in my slow cooker casseroles.
Value frozen chicken boobs are great value (if like me money comes before morals) I hardly ever find any nasty bits that need chopping off on them!
The value lemonade tastes more like over carbonated water but DH likes it mixed with value squash so its fine for that!

The value baby wipes are a bit frothy (Asda are better) but for 50p they do the job!
