Lynx bodyspray Have tried buying them an assortment from
Tescos own to the cheap brands in Home & Bargain but they insist
it must be Lynx - ripoff merchants!!

Try the INTU mens sprays from poundland, 2 for a pound.

Its very much like lynx, if you done a blind smell test im sure you
couldn't tell the difference between say the 'smooth' one in the black
and brown tin to that of Lynx dark temptation, but all 4 fragrances
are very nice.

If i didn't know any better I would say its the same stuff but in
a different tin.

This stuff..

Haywards picallili - OH won't have anything else
Colman's mustard - OH won't have anything else
Free range eggs
Good quality bread
Lurpak or Aldi do a cheaper equivalent
Good quality toilet roll - anything on special offer
Pantene, Dove or Herbal Essence shampoo and Dove soap

Dog food has to be Winalot or Pedigree Chum- fussy little critters !!

I only buy vegetables that are grown in the uk. Tomatoes that have come from Morocco, Poland, Netherlands etc etc are tasteless globs of water. If I can't buy British I don't buy it.

At the moment off the top of my head it has to be proper Marmite, free range eggs and any loo rolls i can get on offer.

I'm just listing brands literally otherwise this post will be too long if I describe my food preferences. Some of the brands listed are French as many family members are and I go over/they come over so I pick a lot of it up like that.

Where do you get the A&W diet root beer! been looking for it everywhere

Heinz ketchup and HP brown sauce :-)

LillythePink

I suppose it's only really Heinz products (OH won't touch anything else) and marmite

Unfortunately, we don't have Tesco/Asda/Aldi etc - Our choice is basically the Co-op or Waitrose!

I do buy own brand waitrose stuff if it's cheaper than other brands, but I try not to go there as I end up spending huge amounts.

We don't have a choice with milk - it's £1.01 a litre but it's the nicest you'll ever taste and bread - if you want fresh then you have to buy local - a thick sliced is £1.70 each

free range eggs
branston baked beans
