    they're the same thing; just wrapped in different plastic.

    hello to you too(!)

    Here here!

    The price difference is just for those who are willing to pay a little more for 'trolley credibility'.

    I used to feel embarrassed with my value bread, value cocoa, value flour, value disinfectant, value shampoo & soap, value frozen chicken breasts, value apples etc, etc. I used to put my whoopsied items upside down to hide the labels etc. Now I don't give a hoot!

    I simply think, I have nothing to be ashamed of.

    Which is the greater shame to have:

    More sense than money or more money than sense......
    ... I rest my case!

    students live off value/basics/smart price items. i couldn't give a monkeys what other people think! :D

    in fact, i've noticed a considerable decrease in the number of reduced items over the past few years in various supermarkets. far more people are buying 'reduced to clear' items....there is no longer a stigma associated with buying such items.

    we were setting the trends a few years back....now people are following us!

    Jumblejack you might be a wotsit or whatever it is you are (who gives a hoot, anyway?) but you make an awful lot more sense than a lot of people here! :D

    Or you could use:

    Value frozen chicken breasts (around a pound worth)
    Campbells mushroom soup (free with voucher)
    Frozen puff pastry (you need to to roll it :eek: though!) From Heron Foods 50p
    Or you could make your own shortcrust in minutes for pence with value flour & marg!
    2 leeks from the grocers (probably around 70p)

    Campbell soups are amazing as bases in pies.
    Net cost around £2.20

  • I bought this meal deal today at tesco in Sh1rl3y and the discount didnt come off. I was charged £8.32 so went to customer services and got DTD back . £6.64 so my meal cost £1.68 result. It was really nice too.
    £5 a day = £155/£150 for Sept challenge :j
    £5 a day Oct challenge = £19.12 / £155
