If one likes the taste of PG tips, but not the price, buying loose leaf is cheaper, Asda have got 250g for £1.70.

with loose tea you can make it as strong as you like, it's meant to be brewed for at least a couple of minutes.
The problem with bagged tea is that it contains a lot of very fine tea that is meant to be brewed much more quickly, hence using more tea.
Using smaller quantities of loose tea brewed for longer, is a better option than re-use your tea bags, in my opinion.
Asda Chosen by you is only £1.20 for 250gr. Even better.

You don't need any special equipment, you cold just use a strainer, or a cheap ball infuser, or if you want to use in a teapot as well:

(not cheap but worth it if you use a teapot, as small tea bags won't have enough room for the tea to expand and taste nice)0 -

PG Tips are £2.09 for 160 at the Co-op at the moment. With thanks to Welshee for the heads up on the latest deals. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4752436
Edit - Popped into my local today to stock up and the price was £2.00 (both shelf edge and at the till) - so an even better bargain. And cost £0 in petrol to get there either! :j0 -
