    We drink PG tips too, stocked up LOADS when Iceland had the 240 pack for £3 and I had 20% discount. :p

    But otherwise if we run out and there are absolutely no decent offers on then we firstly check for offers on Yorkshire tea. If there's no deals on either then I personally think Sainsburys red label tea tastes very similiar to PG. Also you can buy the big 480 bag pack for £6.70, so that's £3.35 for 240, which isn't too bad.

    Unlike others in this thread I can't say I really liked Sainsburys basics. I found it was rather tasteless myself.

    I 2nd that. We mix up Sainsburys basics tea with on offer branded tea for a bit of variety.

    My oh is a snob when it comes to brands but he is quite happy to drink this and to top it off they are only 27p!!!

    Yep, these are great, I won't buy branded ones anymore, these taste just as good if not better.

    Hard to believe I know but give them a try, you only have 28p to lose and a hell of a lot to save if you like them.

    I tried the Sains basics some time ago after reading about them on here. The first box were ok ish, the second were dreadful & ended up being binned. I do like my tea strong & found the basics needed to brew for so long it was cold before I could drink it. I also thought it gave an anemic looking cup of tea, which may have made it taste weak.
    I've not found anything that gives a consistently good cup of tea, other than PG. A lot of others taste stale to me.

    I hate weak tasting tea and have always found the Sains basics make a strong cup of tea, without leaving it to stew.

    It may be worth trying again, if you still don't like them you could use them on your plants.

  • I agree, I hate weak tea but find Sainsburys basics stong enough
  • The Aldi gold label are gorgeous.! cant tell the difference between them and pg!!!

    The Asda ones are great too(red label) but definately Aldi gold taste nicer.
    Just went on my supermarket and Asda are doing their gold label 2 for 2.50 which works out cheaper than the Aldi. im gutted cos not due a shop for at least another week!!!! might get hubby to pop in on way home from work to get some...cant miss the deal!!!

    my tea tasting sessions are getting very interesting!!
    :):)
  • I'm drinking Aldi Gold tea as I'm reading this and it's lovely:D
    First time I've ever tried them and I'm impressed! I hate weak tea and I like my tea to taste like errr.....tea :p I would say it has a lovely smooth flavour and not bitter at all like some teas I've tried.

    Price is great as well at £1.39 for 80 bags.
    Feb GC £80 per week (Well I'm gunna try:whistle:)

    I might try the Sainsburys ones - well when I say 'I' I actually mean dh as I don't drink tea - I currently get Tetleys 88 bags for 99p from Home Bargains (been sneaky there - there always used to be 100 bags in the box) - Will he notice? He tends to drink whatever the lads pick up at work so isn't that bothered

    Mind it will be a while - we still have a new box to open and he only drinks 1 cup a day

    Bought a box of Yorkshire tea bags today in my local Spar (Durham area). The pack contains 40 bags + 100% extra making it 80 tea bags for £1.
