    British chocolate is dire.

    Although better than an American Hershey bar, which tastes like vomit

    I prefer the tinned tuna steaks to the chunks, they generally cost a bit more but seem to go further. However, Sainsbury's tuna steaks in olive oil are just £4 for 4 x 200g tins at the moment, the same price as the chunks.

    Agreed, Sains tuna steaks are good and cheaper than the the Princes.

    Chocolate is only "good" if you enjoy it.

    Too true, I must be the only person on the planet who doesn't like chocolate or sweets. Give me a decent loaf of bread and a stash of butter rather. This is why I look like I do :(

    I use limescale remover, an Ecover one, but can't be in the same house bleach has been used in!

    Any fabric softener is a waste of money - I don't know why people bother.

    My clothes come out a bit crusty feeling if I don't use it, especially jeans (even worse if they are line dried without it). I only use an Ecover one, I don't use them for the scent as such.

    You'll find better chocolate in Lidl.

    I'm addicted to the milk chocolate Chocco bar in Aldi. Its the best cheap chocolate I've tried, and the sqaures are massive, and just 99p for a big bar!


    Can't be beaten.


    Well except for Hotel Choclat of course...but thats pricey....

    You can get a surprise box from HC with a free p&p code - just google Hotel Chocolat codes for £8. You get 6 punnets of chocolate. I got mine earlier this week I got £21 of chocolate for £8! A nice treat every couple of months or so. Included were the Dizzy Pralines, Milk choc caramalised hazelnuts and shortbread caramel cookie chocs!
  • For me it is Heinz baked beans, no-one wanted to eat them the last time I bought them. Fairy washing up liquid or any washing up liquid with anti bacterial ingredients because it gives me dermatitis.
    Heinz ketchup, I much prefer Tesco own brand.
    Finally fabric softener, I use a wash ball and don't need softener.
