    Heinz beans and ketchup, Diet Cherry Coke (Mrs B - don't ask!) 7-up, Colgate Total toothpaste, Triple velvet toilet roll, Sunpak chunky peanut butter (apparently the lowest in aflatoxin)..

    Just about anything else is up for grabs, in fact some own brands are better, for example Waitrose Pea and Ham soup - the best I've ever found - or Sainsbury's loose Assam tea.

    Agreed on the soup... nothing tastes as nice.
    Don't understand the allegiance with Heinz tomato soup, my homemade tomato soup contains a fraction of the sodium and tastes about a million times better.
