Interesting. Maybe I have been depriving myself."Mr. Quin smiled, and a stained glass panel behind him invested him for just a moment in a motley garment of coloured light..."0

It has to be Organic Weetabix for me, I didn't used to mind the shops' own brand ones till I tried the Organic ones when they were on special offer - they taste like Weetabix used to when I was a kid rather than cardboard.;)
Kellog's cornflakes, never found any that were anywhere near as nice.
Cafe Direct coffee.
We stopped buying HP sauce when they moved the production of it overseas ( but kept the houses of Parliament pic)
My husband will not eat any other sliced white bread other than Warburtons.
All of these, apart from the bread, are things we don't buy much of. I'm a great believer in using Martin's drop a level to try things - so going from HP sauce to Daddy's rather than the Asda basics range means it's more likely to be eaten / used.
I still buy Fairy washing up liquid, but only because nothing else lasts as long for the money. I buy it when it's on special offer though.;)Member of the first Mortgage Free in 3 challenge, no.19

Sometimes seen lurking on the compers forum :-)0 -
Fairy
Bold and Comfort for laundry - some others make me itch
Heinz Ketchup - tried Sainsburys own but tasted like vinegar
Free range eggs
Doritos - other tortilla chips aren't the same
Laughing Cow light cheesespread triangles - too delicious and low in fat
I can't believe its not butter light
Probably others, but cant think of what else. Usually try and buy branded products when on offer and stock up if possible0 -
We don't have a lot to be honest.
- Pure spread
- Free range eggs but organic when possible (for fiance)
- Coffee - we buy from Whittard. No other coffee will do
(he has Santos and Java while I have the fairtrade and organic one)
- Southern Comfort (fiance)
I am a vegan woman. My OH is a lovely omni guy0
