    Even though you are a spectacular money saver (or trying to be) what one (or two) thing(s) do you simply refuse to buy a cheaper version of or 'downgrade' from? Doesn't necessarily have to be a food item, just something that you buy regularly and know that there are more frugal alternatives to.

    :DMine would be coffee, I have a Senseo machine and will not part with it or buy anything but Senseo pods. That said, I have found a place online where I can get the pods a tiny bit cheaper (buying in bulk) and use that site.

    **Oooo...didn't know that this thread was here - shall go back to the beginning and have a browse, lol.**
  • razor baldes, Venus for me and Mach3 for OH, although i do buy them off ebay a bit cheaper.

    Heinz tomato soup and tomato sauce & HP brown sauce, i know there are others but they just don't taste the same

    Hi Kadeeae :)

    We have an older thread on this, so I've added your post onto it.

    You'll need to read from the beginning to catch up :)
