  • I see the same names coming up over and over. It seems we are very taste driven in our choices. I have lived outside of the UK and not realised I miss things until the time I spent a pound on a single small bag of Walkers crisps. However, in the UK I shop by price.

    Thanks for your input.

    Kelloggs Cornflakes
    Heinz Beans - although have been buying others recently as they have got very expensive, the cheaper ones aren't as nice though
    Punjana Tea

    The rest is Tesco or the discount brands they sell!
    Weight loss challenge, lose 15lb in 6 weeks before Christmas.
  • Probably the only thing I HAVE to have is Douwe Egberts coffee. I tried a big, cheap jar of something from Lidl a few weeks back. God it was vile, I had to endure it for 2 weeks until it was all gone. Never again!!

    Can cope with lowest end for most other products. Have to have free range eggs though purely for ethical reasons, but luckily Morrisons have now introduced them to their value range :)
    When you're going through hell, keep going...
  • green and blacks hot chocolate (drinking that now)
    Free range, organic eggs
    Happy meat wherever possible (you know what I mean)
    local organic veg bag (though that is currently on hold til I find out if I get the job (fingers crossed) )

    TBH if I don't get the job - freelancer positions moving to staff positions, but obviously less staff needed - this list may well be a lie. Except the eggs.
