  • One very useful trick is to buy the best minced steak and pad it out with soya mince. Tesco do organic soya mince for 99p a pack. You get the proper meaty taste from the real meat and health plus cheapness from the soya.

  • I always buy free-range eggs, and usually try to get organic meat, milk, fruit and veg. when I can. I think its better for you, and also kinder to the animals involved.

  • Bit of a mixture for me :-

    Tesco Value Tea (prefer Yorkshire but can easily live with the value)
    Alta Rica Coffee – The only instant I can bear

    Tesco Value Deodorant – No bother
    Versace Dreamer Aftershave – The cheap stuff smells terrible.
    My eyes! The goggles do nothing!
  • Eggs - columbus every time. just so much tastier than other eggs imo. also free range ones

    Fairy - i am allergic to other washing up liquid and a bottle of fairy lasts me a long time

    Bold washing powder - am allergic to everything else (god help me if they ever change this forumla I will have to smell lol)

    Lenor spring awakening - again allergic to others and although bold is a 2 in 1 i love the smell of this

    kellogs cornflakes - cheap ones are vile
