    we use the tesco value ones for the weetabix brownies though too :)

    I buy the Tesco Healthy Living ones too, no one complains here and they can be fussy with their cereal.
    Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

    It may be only in my mind but to me there is nothing to compare with Weetabix - own brands are just not the same!! I bought the new Weetabix Oatbix last week (look like weetabix but made with oats) - Yuck!!!
    They taste fine but they are so crumbly, shan't buy them again. Shall try the own brand ones when I have finished with them

    Tesco Healthy Living are really good, exactly like Weetabix.

    Some brands manufacture part of their produce to be sold by 'own brands'. Sometimes you can find out if your Tesco or Asda or whoever's own brand comes from a well known brand by checking carefully the information in the package (procedence, barcode...)

    I prefer the Tesco Value ones - they don't go as mushy and seem to have more bite, which I like.

  • personally, I find waitrose ones a bit crumbly, so when you put the (soya) milk on, you get dry bits hidden here and there which go hard and chewy. I've never had sainsburys but, considering that they are made by the same people (I know this cos Sainsbury's got a delivery of wheat biscuits in the wrong packaging so I got them for 50p for a pack of 48 :D).

    Tesco healthy living ones are my faves. Weetabix own ones are a bit salty tasting for me.

    Try their other brand at Lidl (forget the name) - 36 for 64p. They've got a lot better since the box was redesigned.
  • I always used to think that Sparbix was so much nicer than Weetabix, the biscuits seemed to be much denser and more firm, but I haven't been into a Spar shop for about 10 years, and now I can't find one? I have recently tried Sainsbix, but they seem to be very loosely packed and crumbly. I haven't tried Asda or Tescos or Waitrose, but I wonder who the manufacturer was who made the Sparbix?
