Free Range Eggs
Decent Meat / Fish and only 'real' sliced cold meats.

Kenco coffee, James Wellbeloved cat and dog food, kitekat (catswont eat any other) Butchers tin to mix in with dogs food (they share one tin a day so doesnt work out too expensive) Cheese, bread, cant think of anything else at the moment, but strangely enough we dont like heinz beans and when i was reading through this, the oh commented on how he prefers smartprice beans, i agreed with him, even supermarkets own brand arent as nice imho :cool:

Also pepsi, I dont drink fizzy drinks but the rest of the family do and wont drink shops own brand or coca-cola, has to be pepsi!

Are you saying you can get 80 tea bags in Sainsbury's for 28p ????

Yes, sainsburys basics 80 tea bags are fairtrade and only 28p....I buy them regularly and find they make a good cup of tea. Not everyone likes them, it's all a matter of taste.

Now for branded must buys;
Andrex toilet rolls
M&S Cornish Cruncher cheese
Activia intensely creamy yogurt
Good quality jam/marmalade

Heinz spaghetti in tins

Cafe Direct coffee - don't drink much but when I do it has to be this.

Kellogg's cornflakes, no one does them the same.:o

Weetabix organic - would eat shop brands when I ate ordinary
Weetabix, but now I tried Organic it's so nice I won't go back to the old stuff.

Used to get HP sauce till it moved out of the UK, now we just hardly use it, buy a home-grown one in its place.

Tetley T bags are all DH will drink at home, they're not very dear and I don't drink tea, so don't mind.

Free range and organic eggs. I have bought these for as long as they've been available.

Everything else I'm happy to try the cheaper version. DD is too, she will eat any kind of tomato sauce, she has been brought up on Tesco's reduced salt and sugar stuff and doesn't really mind as long as she gets the tomato sauce.
