cattie

You are not alone with having must haves on your list! My top 5 branded essentials are

Kellogg's cornflakes
Either Kenco or Gold Blend Coffee
Kraft thick processed cheese slices
Branded cat food for his lordship
Walls Solero ice lollies

Oh, & like supa-girl, Ihink premium sausages are a must too, though I don't eat them that often.

I like to be as little brand loyal as I can, price is usually a factor for me, however I do typically buy the following,

Anchor Lighter - All natural ingredients
Pepsi/Coke a Cola - Depening which is on offer, never own brand
Daddies Ketchup - most others are to vinagery (i dont like vinegar)
Andrex Toilet Roll -
Free range, but value morrisons eggs £1.75 for 10
Aquafresh Toothpaste - Dont like colgate but if someone can recomend something own brand to try thats as refreshing as Aquafresh I will give that a go.
I usually buy branded bread thats on offer and have a limit of £1 but did buy the bread reccently that was 30p at Morrisons.
I think thats it.


I buy all my beef and pork direct from a farm, very good prices, very good quality.

HP sauce
Heinz tomato ketchup

Heinz baked beans - nothing compares. Lidl's own brand comes close, but not close enough.
Heinz tomato sauce.
HP Brown Sauce
Andrex toilet roll
Hovis best of both
Diet Coke; own brands are never the same, always too diluted.

I tried this when Iceland had it on offer.

Unfortunately I found I had to use 3 bags to get any taste at all, and needed 5 bags for a decent cupppa.

If you've never tasted Twinning tea, just put 3 marbles in a cup of boiling water, stir for 10 minutes then drink. The flavour will be the same.

Having said that, the actual bags are top quality, they obviously spend a lot more on the bags than they do on the tea that's in them.

which 1?! i find the english leaves r way stronger than the bags. hard to find aswell!

Walls Cornettos - my son (6 years old) is an ice cream afficionado and will not eat the Sainsburys basic ones So he only gets the real Mccoy when they are on special offer or if I am feeling flush

Thats it!

Sauces: Hellmann's mayo, Heinz tomato sauce.

Teabags: I do wait until there is an offer but I much prefer PG tips to anything else. Iceland had 240boxes for £3 which is pretty damn good so I stocked up then.

Juice: I can't be doing with from concentrate stuff now I've tasted 100% stuff, so I have to go for the likes of Tropicana, Sainsburys premium juices(those 3 for £4 ones) etc.

There's probably other stuff but it's all that comes to mind.
