    6 packs of sausage rolls, about £1.05.

    Now .... I know some of you will mutter "snouts bums and willies" .... but, of the "cheap sausage rolls" I've bought and eaten over the years these are really the best/tastiest.

    They're a bit better than the £land Welsh Pantry.
    They're noticeably better than the 4ldi equivalent.

    :)

    I've probably had a pack of six every week this year....

    Agree on the porridge, and I'll add in Black Forest ham

  • I have to be be a bit picky (food allergies). However, the things I like and get regularly:


    Thick bin bags.
    Greek yoghurt - (not the low fat)
    Olive and rapeseed oils.
    Thick cut bacon.
    Cold sliced meats
    Gouda slices
    Dried fruit
    Cocoa powder
    Make-up remover pads.
    Cien hand wash - Olive oil one.
    Gluten free flours
    Normal plain and bread flours
    Low fat mayo

    Corn cakes (like the rice cakes)
    Hand-baked crisps


    And at Christmas, their stollen

  • Dishwasher tabs are really effective and chardonnay goes down a treat!!
  • Fish, especially smoked salmon
    Cured meats
    Fruit juice
    Be wary of 'Deluxe' which may not be as good value - it varies, and I don't think their wine as good value as Co-op.
    If you like to use olive oil, look for their 'ordinary' olive oil (not extra virgin)
    Always look at the 'central aisle' at the beginning of your shop, then return at the end to get anything that still seems like good value.
