    Bought Asda smart price toffee's and thought they were pants in comparison to sainsbury's basic toffee's which are lush. Wasn't too keen on the smart price fruit foams or midget gems either.

    yes the basics cling film is the rubbish one - does not cling. Sad to see another price increase (the loo rolls). Was beginng to spot more people buying them instead of the brand name stuff so maybe thats why??

    thanks for the quick response aarchk, i have added the cling film to "not worth buying" on the front page :)
