Al chunks seem to go down OK with my lot - don't like the stuff personally although I do have to do the sandwiches.... Appears pretty similar.

They do a cheaper style think it is flakes that isn't too good loads of bits. I know it gets mashed up the same but it just seems more watery.

Thanks, I shall get a tin then and try it. I already buy quite a lot of stuff there so will get some next time I am there

tesco value clear mints are also very good and you get a big bag for 45p
(i think all value biscuits are nice but its not a good idea having any in the house as we eat them)

smart price rice pudding is so thick and creamy and only around 18p.
This must be a top quality one with a different label. Try it, you won't be dissapointed!:T

Asda smartprice
Frozen peas
biscuits
Batter mix (but you need 2 packets to make a big yorkshire) 7p each
Museli (DH reckons it nicer than the expensive stuff)

Aldi - Peanut butter, Stuff in glass jars used to be about 60% of the cost of the one in plastic but tastes pretty much the same. The teens are happy with it too so must be OK.

They have now reduced the glass jar size but kept the price so not quite so cheap still worth a punt IMO

Sainsburys basics tuna is great - it's line caught too.

I am sure the tuna is fine.

Question is are lots of hooks trailing from factory ships much different to nets.

Does Mr /Mrs Sushi really cast his/her rod from the sampan?

I don't know but I bet somebody does:p

Talking of stuff in tins Prairie Donkey at Al isn't too bad. That could sometimes be dodggy always had to be Fray Bentos.

sorry me again anyone tried tesco value gravy? we already use own brand and i know it has more salt but it tastes ok and we rarely add salt to food anyway

Not strictly a 'value' product, but it's one of Tesco's discount brands and at 20p for 500g deserves a mention.

Trattoria Verdi tomato herb pasta sauce. We like the taste and there's enough in a jar to serve 3-4 people when stirred into pasta.

I'm going to try it mixed with pasta, tuna and topped with cheese and baked in the oven. Should make for a good cheap meal. Could also be used as pizza topping.
