I DO NOT WORK FOR TESCO AND AM NOT AN AGENT FOR them but I do like a lot of their value products:

  • Thin Bleach - 28p for 2 litres-great for cleaning the toilet and removing mould between the tiles in the shower. Squirt it on and rub with a small brush. Mould gone.
  • Automatic Biological Washing Powder - £2.68 for 2kg size and will give an average of 30 washes. Works for us
  • Tesco Washing Up Liquid - cant remember the price but cheap as chips and cleans just as good as another green liquid that costs a lot more...
  • Value Bath Soap - I cannot seem to get this any more but it was 13p for 3 250gm blocks!
  • Value toilet cleaner blocks. Pine smell, 28p and cheaper than a refill!
  • Value Hot Chocolate Drink - 48p for loads. Add a spoon of sugar and some milk- yummy
Just to balance this. I don't like:
  • Value tea bags - yeuch!
  • Value toilet paper - ouch!
  • Value dried spaggetti (not Tinned Spaggetti as that's ok -thanks suited-aces) -the dried stuff is just not nice...
Anyone else make recommendations or offer warnings?

    Their Value natural yogurt - 45p for 500ml is pretty nice.
    I shot a vein in my neck and coughed up a Quaalude.

    Tesco value smoked salmon trimmings. Great for a tasty and "luxuriant" sandwich, or to mix with scrambled egg. Even the Sunday Times trendy colour magazine recommended this product a couple of weeks ago.
