Tesco Everyday value - brief reviews

Bought and tried the value Salad Cream, was impressed. I agree a bit more 'vinegary' tasting, but really good. 80-85% as good as Heinz and at 55p, bargain!

OH bought Tesco Everyday Cottage Cheese because we had run out, from Tesco Express. No additives but doesn't taste good and amorphus mass with watery liquid instead of nice lumps you'd expect. 0/10

Everyday Value Lasagne ready meal- sauce came out runny and was very bland plus hardly any meat. According to the pack there is now 25% more beef, must have made it with fresh air before!

EV Mushy peas. Not only good on their own, but also as a basis for a quick, cheap and easy pea soup.

Put in a saucepan with 250ml of water and a veg' stock cube. stir thoroughly. Bring to the boil and then simmer. Liquidise or mash up the peas until the soup is the desired consistency or leave it lumpy.

The soya milk is ok. Have tried sweetened and unsweetened. Also the tinned mandarins. I buy the value cat litter as well although its gone up recently. I tend to steer clear of the everyday range, not because I have money to burn but because I find tesco shockingly expensive and I appreciate a lot of people wont have other stores to choose from, but I shop more in aldi and elsewhere.

Ive also tried the pickled silverskin onions, they are ok. I find the juice, cartons are getting more expensive, again I go to aldi for these now, its a quid for a carton of juice in tesco and you can get the same in aldi for about 65p.

I used to buy the everyday value flakes now and then for my cats, but at 75p a tin compared to aldi at 49 and morrisons at 59, again, cant afford to be buying tesco versions

Ive used the everyday conditioner in the past, 29p, its ok, better than some much more expensive brands.

We'll do a main shop at Tesco's only if there's a voucher worth spending - this week got a £5 off £40 voucher and £1.60 'refund' from them overcharging us on stuff the week before, when we had another £5 off £40 to use. I do a virtual shop online first and take the list so we only just go over the £40.

Value brands we've tried and agree ok include unsweetened soya milk, frozen peas and sweetcorn, lemons, broccoli, carrots, peppers, courgettes, oranges and apples if they look ok on the day (quality varies), digestive biscuits, ginger snaps and bourbons, flour, oats, tinned tomatoes, kidney beans, tomato puree, sultanas, kitchen towel, tissues and toilet roll.

Not often used but for convenience I keep a jar of the 20p sweet and sour sauce and add a dollop of Geeta's chilli lime pickle to it and maybe some extra tinned pineapple, same goes for 60p cheese and tom pizza for OH which does 2-4 meals - add tom puree, some chopped sun-dried tomato, fresh herbs, roast butternut squash and red onion and some half-fat cheddar.

Just bought a bar of Tesco Everyday Value Milk Chocolate for 32p, and to be honest its' quite acceptable. A little sweet compared to Dairy Milk, but if you've only for a few pennies left and want a treat it's definitely not going to disappoint

they rock in all supermarkets tbh :T
however I did notice asda's Smartprice ones were 55p the other day :O and mcvities were only 87p in Sainsburys. Not a big difference at all!

I recently picked up a pack of 2 sirloin steaks from the reduced fridge which were Everyday Value branded. I didn't expect a great deal from them by way of tenderness or flavour but was very impressed.

Everyday Value meatballs (canned); tasted like what they actually were, cheap, bland reformed meat pumped with water, sauce hardly any taste.

Generous in size though.
