    Kingsmill Bread
    Lurpak Spreadable Unsalted Butter - nothing compares
    Free Range Eggs
    Heinz Tomato Soup
    Innocent Smoothies (though I only buy when on offer)

    Good quality cheese (other half would go mad if I spent any less on this!), branded toothpaste & premium sausages are things I wouldn't scrimp on.
  • Carte Noir coffee
    Twinings Everyday teabags
    Bovril
    Heinz beans
    Heinz tinned soups
    Kelloggs Cornflakes
    Nestle Cheerios
    Fairy washing up liquid (nothing else seems to last half as long)
    Green Giant sweetcorn (bought some from M&S the other day and it was horrible, I couldn't eat it)
    Over futile odds
    And laughed at by the gods
    And now the final frame

  • Fairy washing up liquid

    Co-op 99 teabags (its a bonus they are fairtrade as well)
    black farmer or sainsburys taste the difference sausages
    Aldi's large prawns (these actually taste of prawn rather than the watery offering of most other prawns these days)
    Lidl on the vine tomatoes (unless I have home grown)

    Everything else is pretty much dependent on best value or cheapest.

    Whole earth baked beans 79p a tin.
    Beans on toast becomes a treat with homemade bread. You should try them once because they taste incredible. Available from Waitrose.
    For myself I am an optimist - there does not seem to be much use being anything else.

    Only buy warburtons farmhouse bread, cant stand anything else. We dont buy own brand butter so buy whatever brands on offer. Coca cola, cheap coke is a big NO NO infact all cheap pop tastes nasty. We dont buy value cheese but will buy own brand as find the value rubbery and tasteless

    Oh and fairy washing up liquid as the own brands don't later, don't clean and irritate our hands
