That would be 12 toilet rolls in a pack, yes?

ALDI do 12 rolls of Everyday Essentials for £1-89.

I think Nicky toilet rolls are in packs of 4, 9 or 18.

The ones in my Farmfoods are the 9 roll packs for just over £2.

Maybe a bit more than value loo rolls but far superior quality, a lot better than Andrex or other expensive brands.

Asda have packs of 4 tomatoes for 50p, not bad considering their packs of 6 tomatoes are £1 !

I've searched, but can't find the thread in which Aldi's tinned tuna (61p) was recommended, so I could thank the person who mentioned it anyway.... I bought a tin & have to say it's very good, better than the Morrison's own brand that I tried (can't afford Princes or John West since prices went up), my max budget for a tin of tuna (and it has to be chunks, not flakes or anything cheap and nasty)is 75p.

Will report back if I try any other brands that are equally as good!

do people use the pound shop much for food ?im going to look next time im passing as i do go in there but have never really looked at the tins etc

My local Poundland is pretty reliable. I regularly buy:

Heinz ketchup 400ml
Vimto 35% extra free 750ml
Oxo cubes
Multipack crisps (although these have reduced from 7 packs to 5 in the last year)
Branston beans 4 pack
Foxes 3 pack malted milk/custard cream/nice biscuits

I regularly buy tins of All day breakfast & the Big BBQ as they're normally about £1.70 (though last week in Morrisons they were only 84p - so I stocked up there) useful to have in the cupboard for when hubby wants a quick meal.

HP sauce with Guinness is another bargain.

4 pack Cadbury chocolate bars.

Asda do a tin of beans with jumbo sausages....retails about 75p and decent enuf sausages..handy with homemade chips for a very cheap meal/cowboy supper

I got this the last time they were selling them for 50p but received a piddly little thing that wouldn't fill my toddler I live too far from an ASDA to pick them myself sadly. Will have another go and hopefully I'll get a big one this time

Found lovely Apple Strudel type dessert in Farm Stores (made by Coppenrath & Weisz) 2 in a pack for £1.00. They are uncooked and quite large so each could be cut in two - pudding for two for 50p!!
I've used products from this brand before (Waitrose used to stock) & they've always been very high quality - can recommend their Apple & Walnut tart thingy - VERY moreish!

krustylouise

I love aldis lemonade. 42p for 2litres! Tastes just as good as the branded stuff.
