    well having read this thread, I decided to pop over to Sainsburys for a mega 'basics' shop
    got some cream cleaner for 32p, 6 tins of sweetcorn at 20p each, some thin bleach - big 2 litre bottles, toilet cleaner, and all purpose cleaner, all much cheaper than the pound shop, and based on the reports here bought two boxes of the tea bags, looks like they are about to reduce the contents on those as the shelve label said contents 50 tea bags, but the boxes had 80, heads up on that!

    so far have tried the loo cleaner, wow it's amazing, converted to that for future use, got my dishcloth soaking in the bleach as we speak!:cool:

    Tesco Everyday Value Pine Disinfectant. I think it is 35p and probably the same stuff as in the Dettol bottles, so I refill the nice Dettol bottle with the bargain Tesco stuff.

    thats a good idea does it smell ok >?
  • Potato, onion and bacon pie under 50p !

    2 large pots
    1 large onion, sliced
    4 slices of bacon
    2 large potatoes, sliced
    Put a layer of potato in the bottom of an ovenproof dish, then a layer of onion slices, then 2 slices of bacon. Repeat and end with potatoes. Add a little milk over the top and bake in the oven quite slowly for 45mins-1 hour.

    It actually smells really nice.

    Hello, haven't read the whole thread so may just be repeating what others have said but my favorites are;
    Tesco value baby bath-I bought loads at 12p a bottle but it now says 36p online???
    Tesco value pine disinfectant-again I stocked up cheaper but now 31p online.

    I have never bought expensive tinned tomatoes or baked beans as I don't think there is any difference. Same with cleaning stuff. Will try to think of some more.

  • Tesco value one dosen't smell of any thing and the last time I bought it it was 42p I think. It may have gone up now. I use it quite a lot. It does the job very well.
