What Value things have you tried and liked?

oh most of my shopping is value, we only ahve a tesco here, but on an average week we get value apples, oranges, wheatbix (bit smaller so we use more but 1/3 of the price so still good) chicken, squash, rasins, and eggs

**skinnyminny**

tesco value cottage cheese is really really good and i also think the value malt loaf is excellent aswell.

I prefer own brand to value stuff. One thing I do like, and buy though is Tescos value custard creams.:j

I've been trying out Sainsburies own-brand shampoo and conditioner. I'll stick with the shampoo but have gone back to more expensive conditioner I'm afraid. I have very long hair and really need good stuff to sort out the knots! The price difference is shocking though.

My hair is very long too and I've been using Alberto Balsam shampoo and conditioner on it for at least 3 years - unusual for me as used to have to change brands every few months as product build up made my hair look awful, but this stuff is brilliant. It's £1 a bottle max in most big supermarkets, often on offer (regularly get 4 for £3 at Asda), also available cheaper in poundshops, Home Bargains etc. My friend's hairdresser even recommended it instead of more expensive brands as apparently it's better for your hair because the ingredients are simpler - I only started using it coz it's cheap but would definitely agree! Oh and the tea tree conditioner is fab for shaving your legs, I never get nicks or ingrown hairs and it's much cheaper and works better than shaving gel/foam.

Hi B-S! Following recommendations from this site we discovered Tesco Value choc ice and jaffa cakes - which are great. I also use their value flour.

One to avoid - Tesco value *rice crispies*; even the hens wouldn't eat them.

Yet my son LOVES these over normal rice crispies....!

When I asked why, he told me that it's because they don't go soggy!

PS. for anyone who hasn't tried them... they are solid!!

We love Mr T Value jaffas and most of their sweet stuff, but the Tuna is not good. Value Snowball cakes are very much loved by the nieces and nephews this time of ear.

Their tuna flakes are horrid.

Tuna chunks are okay.

Sainsbury's Basic Tuna is LOVELY! I fail to find a basic product I don't like in Sainsbury's.

But has anyone tried Tesco's 'Bargain' ranges? the Mermaid tuna is nice, and cheaper then the rest!

they also have Oak Lane is the range (Love the beans and ketchup, the biscuits are nice) and they have Trattoria for italian type foods, such as tomatoes, pasta etc.

The prices vary, but I find many are the same as value, or if they cost more they are worth the extra money!!!

Tesco Oaklane tatare sauce is revolting!

Best things are Custard Creams (not OS but reminds me of my childhood)
