What are you going to do with 48 cartons of tomato juice???

Teria

Farm foods are selling tomato, sweet pepper and carrot juice for 39p, it's delicious!

erm, drink them! I only bought so many because someone in another Tesco store told me they are being discontinued. And I must have my tomato juice to keep me looking youthful:rolleyes:

is that the three in one carton or are they separate packs?

You might well find a number of value items are discontinued as part of the future launch of a new Aldi Style Range which will be replacing and/or complementing both the standard range and the value range. Bit like when light choices launched, a lot of Healthy Living lines changed over to the Light Choices range

They have also stopped selling tesco value dishwasher tabs-they were brilliant.
I have 2 value things i will always buy over the brand names simply because they are identical and that is
Tesco value tortilla chips 18p large bag-great for bbqs,party or just for yourself-they are 100% the same (but smaller) than lightly salted doritos...and Sainsburys basics chocolate digestives (about 27p and exactly the same as McVities homewheat but smaller)
I am proud i buy these as i see other people buying the dearer stuff and feel like i have a bargain-i tell all my friends and they all buy these too now!
(Sorry if there is a thread for good basics,i can't find it)

Do you have a Semi-Chem near you? They stopped selling the Value dishwasher tablets in my local Tesco too then I saw 25 dishwasher tablets in Semi-Chem for 99p, I half them so get 50 loads out of a box.

BUT the problem is, I've just spent three months swapping over to Mr A and getting used to SmartPriced products as I thought I was going to have to bulk shop at the Asda 30 miles away so I've now got to go through the whole process again with Mr T although at least I can get it delivered!

I thought Asda also delivered? But maybe not in your area I guess

It is, as I said in my post, fizzy water. That doesn't come out of any taps in our house!

I have a fizzy drinks maker, and fizz-up my tapwater with that.

I am ashamed of how much in debt I am, and decant everything humanly possible into brand containers. The nice little comments on the Sainsburys Basics make me feel a little better about being broke (eg value pineapple says "all shapes and sizes"). When I get home from shopping, I put away all the Basics things first, in case I have a visitor.

This sounds like snobbery I know, but really it is just that I am so ashamed at what a fool I have been in the past.

Hi,
I'd say you can stop feeling ashamed and be proud that you are making changes so you can get back in control of things.
Any visitor who thinks less of you because you don't have the fancy brands is not a visitor worth having!
I love hearing how people amaze their friends with yummy food, then point out that it was value stuff that went into it!
