The Orchard by Tesco Product Testing

Just been to Tesco and picked up the Finnest Bucatini pasta to make a spaghetti with.Price 2.40. I used my FREE coupon.

I tried giving this guy who was also looking at th pasta range a 75p off coupon. He took the coupon and then gave it me back. Said even with the 75p off other pasta was a lot cheaper ;(

all is not lost though...you can use it as a report and at least get a few clubcard points for your efforts...


Ive done that a few times with bzz and on a few occaisions had an exceptional review....so spread the word even if its not as positive as they would hope.

For what its worth...I thought the pasta was quite nice I bought gigli and I normally wouldnt pay more than a pound for a pack!

I normally buy value range pasta (can't complain at 30p a pack!), but got my free pasta and really liked it! It cooks quicker than the cheaper stuff and is just... nicer. I'm almost converted!

if only it was cheaper???

i got the big shells and trying to think of something nice to go with them.....maybe meatballs and some of my tesco cheese from the other campaign. now THAT i am converted on. even my fiance agrees a liitle extra spent on the finest cheese is worth it. even my kids like it and one doesnt normally like cheese!! they're eating it by the chunk! :rotfl: no more value cheese for us

We have been converted to the finest cheese too...and it went very well with the pasta the other evening...even got an exceptional for my review.


I have just noticed that there is a survey on orchard at the moment...no idea how long its been there...but you all might want to check if you have it....


Its on fuel....
If youve been with bzz a long time some might remember the shell petrol campagin....well heres hoping we get something similar from the orchard!

Has anyone any idea when the £3 cheese voucher expires, as I've put mine in the drawer at home and keep forgetting to take it out with me?

Cheese voucher runs out 28/4/14

I was a quality pasta virgin.

I only ever bought the cheapest pasta I could find and it was fine for pasta dishes that made.

Now I have been converted, the Tesco Finest Gigli pasta, cooked better, looked better and tasted better than anything I'v had in the past.

It is a bit pricey but I will definitely be buying that in future.

Anyone else feel the same?.

nope not converted on pasta. it tasted slightly better but not enough to spend £2 extra on a bag. will be back to value pasta in future.
