If its not on offer, I go to Aldi.
Only things I buy full price are loose fruit and veg if it works out cheaper to buy them loose. For example - bananas as the packs of 5 bananas you see in the supermarket for £1 are 55p loose. Or as I live alone - a few carrots, courgettes etc. I rather pay 39p for 4 carrots and using them all rather then 39p for 1kg of carrot from Aldi and only using 4 carrots and binning the rest.0 -
Cheese - because I only really like cathedral city lighter so I buy 2 packs when there's an offer on to get me through to the next one.
Pepsi Max - drink Sainsbury's own brand the rest of the time
Fresh Meat/Fish - generally we have prawns or chicken so I get them frozen and on offer
Jars of sauces - only use jar sauces when my favourite branded ones (Loyd Grossman & Napolini) are on offer
I could go on but the basic jist of it is there are quite a few branded products that I like to buy but I only buy them when they're on offer because I think it costs too much otherwise.0 -
coffee , toilet rolls , heinz soup and washing tabs /liquid0
-
Nescafe Gold or Dowe Egberts
Branston beans
Heinz soups
Kraft Garlic & Herb dressing
Philly garlic & herb cheese
Blocks of cheese (grate and keep in tub in freezer)
Dishwasher tabs
Hellman's Mayo
Any meat/chicken/fish
Wouldn't buy any of the above unless on a decent offer and then I go mad and really stock up (as my store cupboard and freezers can testify!)
Just remembered another - Twining's Liquorice tea - I am addicted!"If you dream alone it will remain just a dream. But if we all dream together it will become reality"0 -

Tuna. The full price of it these days is ridiculous, I always wait untill it's on offer. Oh, dishwasher tablets too, hate getting the cheap ones cos they dont clean as well0

I try to buy everything on offer, it`s very rare for me to buy anything full price.A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.
Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

Butter, I forgot butter. When the supermarkets started ramping butter prices I decided not to pay nmore than £1.25 (at the absolute outside) so I wait for the two for a pound offer then buy a load. It freezes perfectly.0

Still got a stash of cheap peas 4p a tin and rice pudding 12p and UHT 1 litre milk 25pence. and free barely drinkable wine from Tesco meals days.
Just bought a load of skimmed milk powder from Sains £1.01p makes 4 litres. before the price goes up. And vinegar for cleaning.0
