thanks for the comments unicornblue72. I can identify the smartprice shower gel, and will include on the front page, are any of the other products you mention part of the smart / basic or value range?

the OH shampoo is asda procet so thinks own make not vaule the alberto balsam shampoo and stardrops are not a asdas own you can get it many places likes wikos etc think the alberto shampoo is 3 for 2 pounds at asda at the momment and is really very good more so if it passed the girls teenager test (apparlty the conidoter is very good for hair exetions !!!! ) also use asda vaule facial wipes good for getting make up off which my girls seemed to cake on fours inches thick

hi unicornblue72, so i am assuming the two smart products you mentioned are:

smartprice shower gel from your previous message, and smartprice facial wipes?

if you have any other reccomendations relating to smartprice, basic range or value from asda, sainsburys, morrissons or tesco, let me know. I will add the facial wipes to the first page, thankyou

hi kitty, are the dolly mixtures a recommendation? if so which supermarket are they from???

I prefer Asda's down Dolly Mixtures to any other shop or brand! Asda do (or used to) do 2 lots of Dolly mixtures, one in a coloured packet and one in a white smart price packet. The smart price packet ones were the nicest

Asda Smartprice pancakes are quite nice, you get 6 in a pack but I've forgotten how much they are.

Last night I did some shopping (all Tesco Value) and got 3 jars of pasta sauce (19p each) 300g of penne pasta (17p) and 4 breaded fish portions (97p). I have tried the pasta and the sauce before they are quite good but I can't tell you about the fish yet.

Great Thread! I would add the asda smartprice garlic bread as one to avoid as its basically bread with no garlic taste at all!
