My kids love the value tinned custard, it is a strange grey colour tho, the 6p packets are nice aswell, i love the tinned rice pudding at 12p.

Lynsey if you get a till spilt from sainburys my tesco's take them and i find them better value.

We eat value cornflakes, however value rice cripies are awful, value porridge is good, marmalade is the cheapest preserve and sometimes of 3 for 2.

I know this is food and essentials but if you could get the 10p toffees i would, getting a food parcel would be pretty depressing so anything nice would help.

Value curry and sweet and sour sauce aren't bad at 20/23p , value rice is stodgy but ok if well washed for the price, value dried spagetti is fine, i find the pasta stodgy but i did use it when it was mega cheap.

Value roll on is fine, as is cotton wool, sainburys have 1/3 off off baby stuff at the moment, some cotton puds are cheap.

Another one is toilet roll, tesco do 4 200sht rolls for 70p, or lidl do 10 250sht rolls for £2.

Value shampoo is awful but tesco's own head and shoulers type is good at £1 a bottle it was recently on 3for 2 so worth looking out for.

Instant mash is acually ok made with a knob of butter.

Tesco have all there packets fo sauces at 20p at the mo.

Poundland have started stocking 3 tins of tuna for £1 again.

Oh a few more value noodles are ok with some tinned sweetcorn and soy sauce so i'd prob grab some aswell.

Value tinned oranges at 25p are quite nice, as are peaches and pineapple.

Value part baked rolls are good and have long dates.

Thinking of doing the ASDA price guarantee to get cereals and shampoos, doing some smart price as fillers then rolling the money on. Not sure my brain is up to working it out though!

I was not keen on Tesco value cornflakes, but found the bagged Sainsbury's ones were lovely, less additives than Kelloggs too.

Only thing I'd disagree with quintwins on is the pasta. The starch is unreal and I managed to make it edible by rinsing it several times and cooking with a maggi cube to hide the taste. Just. But would someone not used to cooking handle it? Not sure. It is however FANTASTIC for kids collages and pasta necklaces. They are great worms

I don't buy it anymore as i did find it very stodgy and starchy i do think it wnet downhill abit, i found if i half cooked it then rinsed it and added boiled water it was slightly nice. i'm working my way threw a box of this, it's works out at less than 45p a bag of you subcribe and save (which you can then cancel)

Oh my poundland had gobin pies, like wee seam microwave meat pies at 2 for £1, we'd never eat anything like that so i didn't get any, theres a £2 off £12 spend in poundland at the moment if you wanted to get a few bits free, personally i find value items cheaper, with the exception of tuna.

Poundstretcher do 2 bags of sugar for £1.50.

Me again, have you condisered doing an af order?
this is a good price

http://www.approvedfood.co.uk/?pid=50230

problem is you would need to do a big order to justify postage and i'm not sure if legally food banks have to be strict with dates.

AF once sent my order twice and very generously told me to keep the second lot as it would cost them so much to take it back. But it was far too much for OH and I -so I called round the local food banks, schools, old folks' homes, churches, you name it... nobody accepted out of date food (most cited insurance instead of the dreaded H&S). I ended up giving it away to work colleagues with a donations tin for charity.
