Meat - never buy it cheap unless I'm using it in a stew or something - or it's reduced, then it goes in the freezer
Tuna - can't stand the flakes, much prefer decent chunks of it
Dilute - the economy stuff uses too much to get any flavour, so I buy one up
Coffee - the eco stuff is foul and I like being able to taste coffee not an aftertaste - currently Whittard's at £3 a jar but it lasts me a month.
Tea - the cheap ones have not a lot of taste, again I go supermarket own brand.** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
**SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
I do it all because I'm scared.

Much is made of dropping brands down to the supermarket own label brands and it is something I have always done. In general I find supermarket own brands to be fine. From no-frills shampoo (but i am a man with short hair) to generic cereals, but some things I just do not want to change.
Heinz sauces, PG Tips, Sarsons and Coke-Cola are sacrosanct.
I am curious about the things other people just can not do without."Mr. Quin smiled, and a stained glass panel behind him invested him for just a moment in a motley garment of coloured light..."0 -

McCain Homestyle oven chips. The only oven chips that taste like proper chips and worth paying a bit more for."If you dream alone it will remain just a dream. But if we all dream together it will become reality"0
