Asda Smart price products:

mint sauce @ 25p a jar. I have n't used it with lamb but mixed with yogurt and a bit of sweetener/sugar it makes a lovely dip
lasagne sheets @ 23p a pack are as good as any others
orange juice (from concentrates) @ 56p a litre is about the best price around and I prefer it to many others 'cos it's not too sweet

thanks maman, added your import to the first page, cheers

Loving this thread x

I buy Asdas Smart Price biscuits, in particular we like their chocolate caramel wafers, great for packed lunches 40p for a pack of 5.

I also buy Smart Price Vinegar 13p, hot dogs 45p, coffee 47p, tinned spaghetti 14p, 20 chocolate digestives (individually wrapped) £1.08, black pepper 18p, I also buy their baked beans and tinned tomatoes but theyre already on your lists. My son actually prefers smart price macaroni cheese and pot noodles to Asda & Brand ones. Hubby is the only one who drinks coffee and really likes the SP one. SP self raising & plain flour are brill too, I bake cakes regularly and you really cant tell the difference, both 52p for 1.5kg bags.

Sainsbury's Basics Pasta Sauce (large jar 18p) - Brilliant for a pasta bake.
Sainsbury's Basics Fair Trade Ground Coffee (227g £1.69) - Good flavour for the price.
