    These a few brands I stick to, Marigold Gloves and Fairy Liquid, I've actually gone up a brand with these two, as I find them better value for money.

    Bisto Gravy
    Oxo
    Marmite
    Ansley Harriot Cup-of-Soup

    Thats about all I can think of, nearly everything else is either basic or own brand.
  • Im with you Linda 32 on the Fairy! Ive tried own brands and basics washing up liquid but they never quite do the job, I usually end up going back to Fairy when its on offer and stocking up - was in Tesco today and they have the big bottles for £1, all varieties x
  • daughter wasnt keen on the own brand chocolate spread so I get Nutella, she likes it occasionally for packed lunch to give some variety to the usual ham etc- its on offer at £1 in Tesco at moment

    I'm a Fairy gal as well. If you don't have a dishwasher and have to wash your things by hand - you can't go wrong with Fairy. Other brands I have to soak o/n if I have burnt on food etc.

    I can drink either Coke Zero or Pepsi Max. I cannot stand Diet Pepsi or Diet Coke as they are both tasteless!

    I always buy CZ or PM when its on offer in the cans as well as only drink with Bacardi or JD. At the moment I have 6 packs of PM which were hp about 3-4 months ago and 3 cases of 10 CZs when they were HP a few weeks before Christmas at Sainsburys.

    A can is the right size to have 2 drinks!
