    don't buy the value brand

    store own brand is normally in the trolley, although when i can afford it i do like Yorkshire Tea

    herbal and fruit teas (but they are often less than 1p each in Home Bargains and are proper Tetley ones)

    The missus buys her moisturiser from Guerlain, and is around £200 for a 50ml pot, but lasts for ages, and is much cheaper than buying a load of sub £25 products that dont work and give her spots.
  • This is interesting….the things I won’t compromise on….:p

    Baked Beans - Heinz baked beans….tried all the others and they’re just not quite right. I guess it must be the sauce as all the beans are just simple haricots. :cool:

    Soft Drinks - Robinsons Lemon and Barley Water….the best refreshing drink in the whole Universe and a good way to get your daily intake of water. Their Orange barley water is also a good tasty squash drink too.

    Tea - Has to be one of Tetley’s, Co-op or Tesco’s Premium. The latter I find to be a very good tea indeed. :rolleyes:

    Eggs – Must be labelled Free Range. I get mine from the local butcher along with a regular meat order. I don’t buy supermarket meat.

    Toothpaste – This is probably a bit more difficult but I stick to what my dentist advises and that’s any brand with the word ‘Total’ in it….but I also use a good mouth wash, and an electric toothbrush as well as floss and a normal toothbrush and the small Interdental brushes. :rolleyes: ..."have you finished... you're boring the butt off me..."

    Cheese Crackers – has to be Jacobs Cream Crackers. Tried others…either too toasted or just not quite right for some reason.

    Hooray.... :D
