Is there anything you won't but the Value version of?

Hi, this is a great thread, I'd thought of doing something similar (but thought no-one would reply).

Would buy
From Sainsburys.......
Tins of sweetcorn, tomatoes, fresh fruit (all Sainsburys bananas are fairtrade) and veg (Sainsburys do Basic courgettes and butternut squash not seen value versions of in Tescos), cartons of orange juice, crumpets, baguettes, muffins, cheese, butter (for baking), kitchen roll, toilet roll, Basics cereal bars, meat (chicken and beef particularly), eggs (sorry animal lovers, needs must sometimes), flour, crisps

Tescos do value..........
balsamic vinegar, stock cubes


Would not buy
Tomato ketchup, beans/spaghetti, pasta, cereals, bread, sausages

Also, I have started cooking from scratch (using basic stock cubes and meat as a base). Saved so much money by doing this so far.

Hope they always stock it in your supermarket then:rotfl: that would really give the checkout staff something to talk about

for me, i can't buy cheap coffee or tea, or hot chocolate.... although i tend to ask for hot chocolate as a birthday / yule/piratemas/christmas/genericmidwintersfestival of choice....
at presenti have 12 kinds to work through

not a fan of cheap bread either, although i only eat bread when i really fancy it and tend to make it then, so not as relevant for me...

also sausages.... i can't get on with them... but again its a rarity for me...

and toilet roll, but i only spend around £7 a year on the good stuff now, as i buy it in utter bulk (36 pack with 33% extra free on bogof on top brands) from macro thanks to a friend with a macro card!

Toilet roll and tea for me. Has to be PG Tips, anything else is disgusting. And the cheap toilet roll, well you need more of it so it's not really saving.
