Great "Best Generic Products" Hunt

I have a fussy cat who will only eat pouches and usually only whiskers or felix which you can get on offer at times 2 for £6. Tesco premium cat food pouches must taste just as good (not personally taste tested!) and costs £1.99 for 12 pouches bargain!:p

Don't be fooled by slick advertising. Generic medicines such as Asda's Ibuprofen (33p for 16) is exactly the same as Nurofen (£1.89 for 16). Just check the active ingredients!!

So plenty more pennies for....:beer:

If you want really soft, bad for you white bread, Morrisons betta buy loaves are delicious. Especially good with butter 7 strawberry jam!

Tesco's own washing up liquid ,original (not the value one ) smells and looks just like Fairy to me.

If you need a strong pain-killer like Solpadeine the try asking for co-codamol B.P. they are the same formulation (except for the caffeine ) and they are far cheaper. I use the effervescent type as they seem to work faster.

Tesco's White Chocolate tastes identical to Milky Bar to me and is 1/2 the price.

Tesco and Sainsbury's Pasta Sauces also taste fantastic (definitely better than Dolmio!) and is 1/2 the price.

Sainsbury's Shreddies (different name though) taste identical to regular Shreddies and are 1/2 the price.

It's only been a few months since i 'discovered' own brand products are generally much cheaper and in some cases better! I am now totally converted.

Are you a coffee drinker on a budget? Bellarom Caffe Espresso Nach Original Italienischem Rezept from Lidl is a good buy at £1.19 for a 200g can of espresso coffee.

I spend a small fortune on coffee beans and while the Lidl coffee isn't anywhere near the fresher beans I buy, it makes a far nicer drink than any other beans or ground coffee I have found in a supermarket and it is about half the price of the cheapest bags of beans.

A word of warning about value cat litter - these can seem to almost eat into litter trays. They definately stain them.

Morrisons own brand frozen yorkshire puddings are even better than Aunt Bessies! cheaper too! Go on, give 'em a go!:o

i think they're 25p for about 200g, anyway miles cheaper than all the others.

taste great on their own - or even better with pepper and/or powdered chilli added.
