My main prob now is eggs - they are so expensive £1.24 for 6 for the cheapest of free range (It's no good I can't do battery). And the spelt/rye flour I need for my baking is very expensive I use SP flour too and that's fine.

Our eggs are £1.26 for 6 free range - however I've discovered that the market (which is 3mins walk from our Asda) sells 6 for 90p - straight from the local farm and I was assured they were free range...

Smart Price Malt Loaf (18p!!!) has gone down just fine Its great for lunches - and particularily for putting on weight (well attempting to do so healthily)

I concur with the comment - above - about Sainsbury's Basics Teabags, they are very reasonable for the money and I would certainly purchase again.

I usually shop at Tesco or Asda, depending on how my mood takes me, but tonight I got my weekly shop at Morrisons. While I noticed there's not much difference as to the price of "ordinary" own-brand stuff, their "Value"/"Bettabuy" range is much reduced compared to Tesco/Asda meaning that, given most of the stuff I buy is Value, the shop was waaaaaaaaaaaay more expensive (and I wasn't able to get everything I wanted without paying over the odds). In this respect Tesco and Asda, and even Sainsbury's, are miles ahead of Morrisons.

I think I'll revert to Tesco for future shops, even though it's a bit of a trek out of my way!

DH won't eat any other beans apart from Branson baked beans so I have been buying Value type beans whatever supermarket I am in.

I even bought the lidl baked beans last week which he said he would never ever eat as they were disgusting and with a spoonful of branson pickle mixed in he has no clue that its a different brand. They have more sauce but I just strain them a bit more and give him less sauce

Asda Value Museli has much more fruit and nuts in than sainsbury's, which tastes like sawdust and Sainsbury' s Value Cornflakes are just as good as Kellogs but leave Asda value cornflakes because they are horrible

Has anyone tried Value sirloin steak? Got it for dinner tonight - two large pieces for under £4. Looks pretty good

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but Tesco Value ground Coffee at £1.06 makes perfectly good coffee in my cafetiere for drinking in the day - I do prefer something a little stronger for after a really nice dinner though

Tesco Value Tortilla chips are great! They're 18p for a 100g bag and taste much nicer than Doritos do.

value pasta/basics pasta all very nice but now more than twice the price of a month ago!!!!

lidl have 13p shower gel which is very nice too, not very perfumed but gets you clean.

i've recently been trying the soft drinks and i have to say value lemonade is fine btu the diet cola isn't as nice as store brand, and for the 20p difference i can cope with that.

Tesco Value Pitta Bread is good, and Tesco Value longlife Orange Juice is lovely. Had lots of value things in my last order, so as I get round to trying them I'll let you know how they go!

Sorry if I've missed any mention of this further up the thread:

Do any of the supermarket value brands do frozen peas that are similar in quality to the ordinary store's own brand? I'm never buying Tesco Value peas again because I tried them once and they were like bullets (the taste was OK, it was just the texture - they made good soup, which was the only palatable way I could find to use them up).

I have access to all major supermarkets and would be grateful if somebody could point me in the direction of cheap and tasty peas.
