i always buy tesco vale but may try this as easier to get to sainsburys!

Their Basics teabags are also good at 30p for 80, and they do the usual kidney beans, tinned potatoes, tinned tomatoes etc at the same prices as Mr T.

My favourite value throw together soup is watercress soup

Watercress is one of the regular whoopsied reductions after teatime.

Here's what you do

Wash (better than peeling!) a couple if potatoes, pat dry and thinly slice.

Fry in a good knob of butter.

Put a pint of stock on top of the potatoes and allow to simmer until the potatoes are really soft.

Put into a blender and THEN empty the watercress on the top before you blitz it (I do it this way so as not to kill off the nutrients in the watercress by cooking!)

Season to taste and enjoy!!

If you wish to impress further as a starter to a dinner party try this:

Poach a soft yolked egg and pop into the soup bowl before you pour on the soup.

As your guests put their spoons into the beautiful vivid green soup, they break into the yolk and it allows lovely contrasting golden orange swirls into the soup, heavenly!

Failing this, a swirl of cream looks fab too!

Enjoy!

Well had delivery - only five of 40 baby bubbles came.
Also ordered 5 baby shampoos for 40p but they substitued with only one Tesco baby shampoo and charged 40p for the one - so will ring about that.

That's completely disgraceful!!! There are a dozen similar items that it could have been substituted for. I would explain that your service charge was wasted as only a fraction of the items arrived. Had you known that they would not have arrived you would not have placed the order. I would ask for the service charge to be reimbursed as they have NOT delivered your order.

Well did get a result of sorts - had 35p back for missing shampoos and a credit of £2 for the mistake - but nothing fr the mising baby bath stuff - and as you say they must have something similar in stock - thats a good get-out for them I suppose.

I've been a victim of their substitution rule gone mad too, giving you a lesser quantity of an alternative product. But then yesterday they gave me 6 x 98p baby baths in place of 6 x 5p ones so it must depend who is picking your order.

Whenever they have given me credits on my account (my telephone number followed by the letter A) they have never worked and I've wasted yet more time emailing them about it, but then in the end they usually issue a refund to my credit card instead.

Hi,

I found an awesome bargain today. Usually their 1kg granulated sugar are 82p a kilo, :eek: but they have started doing 2kg bags for £1.22 (61p a kilo!!!) Well worth it.:T
I'd stock up as they probably will only last a few weeks. (Remember the cheap Mr Sugar brand, anyone??)

Sugar puffs work out at 73p a box at the moment too!

They are £2.12 but are buy 1 and GET 2 FREE!!! Until the 27th though so stock up quick.
Mullerlights 6 packs (£3.29) are the same promotion (b1g2f) and so work out at only 18p a yoghurt pot I think (if my maths is correct)

Lots of value baby bath at 5p in Kn*ckbreda (NI)....got enough to keep me going for a year!

Cream of broccolli soup (44p for 6 portions)

1 X bag of Tesco Value frozen broc 30p
3 x value stock cubes (I use 2 veg and one chicken but use what you prefer) 3p
Salt and pepper 1p
Double cream to personal taste (A splash if you're dieting, a good slug if you're not!) 10p ish

Put broccolli in a large pan and cover with boiling water, crumble in stock cubes, cook for about 20 minutes until brocolli is tender. Turn off heat, allow to cool down a bit and then blitz with a hand blender/food processor. Stir in the cream and season to taste.

This is SO good, tastes much more than the sum of its parts, iykwim.

1 bag of value frozen brocolli is coming up as 94p for me ... would have stocked up if they were 30p each!!!
