Hi there, I notice you've been a member of MSE for two years now. Have you ever thought about using the search function?
Sorry, Coopdivi.
While I first registered 2 years ago, I only began posting to this or any other forum, last week. Sorry if I've broken any protocols, I'm still a relative virgin to forums. But I'm over the moon I stumbled upon the MSE forum community. I will endeavour to always use the search function first in future. Note taken, wrist duly slapped.0 -
I tend to only buy non-processed foods from the Value range, beans, peas, etc.
Most of the sauces are full of artificial sweetners or HFCS instead of real sugar.Said Aristippus, “If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.”
Said Diogenes, “Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.”[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica][/FONT]0 -

Tesco's jars of Value Pasta Sauce are veryyummy, in my opinion much better than Dolmio's bolognese sauce and less than a quarter of the price..."Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions.

I use loads of basics from all the supermarkets and find most of them better than the expensive ones.... Beware though, if they become popular, the prices will go up ... I have noticed this with the washing powders already !!
Mr T's basic handwash, shower gel and bath creams are excellent I have to mention :beer:0 -
Tesco Value shortbread is not bad for the price. It was 27p (for 125g) a month ago, then dropped to 21p, and yesterday was down to 16p. They'll be giving it away soon!Stompa0
