What Value things have you tried and liked?

Tesco Value soft cheese is delish.

Not quite sure if it's what you'd need on a cheesecake, but you could spread it on those little cheesy biscuits and feed them to me and I'm make gentle purring noises.

I have just used value cream cheese & tesco discount digestive biscuits & they worked perfectly! x

i tried the value one on my last cheesecake and there was honestly no difference, but saved loads of pennies:T

tesco valueits the only type of cream cheese i use for baking

i only use philly for serving in pasta, as the taste is more apparent

Can't comment on Tesco's version but i use sainsburies basics cream cheese and their basics butter, chocolate and biscuits for mine.

I found the value brands I tried very watery and kind of bitter so I didn't buy them again.

To make a big cheesecake I put a couple of 125 g tubs of cream cheese (usually supermarket brand) in with a 500 g pot of the 10% fat Greek yoghurt and mix. I find the result is just about right for taste and if you put it in the fridge overnight it sets nicely so that it's soft but you can slice it neatly too. I've always made it this way just because I like it, but comparing the cost of yoghurt to cream cheese, it must be a lot cheaper too.

I never ever buy the expensive brands anymore - MrT Value soft cheese is absolutely fine for everything - I had a late night snack of Value cream cheese with a slice of smoked salmon last night Heyyyyy with what I save buying cheap cheese, I can afford treats more often
