Cola. I'm bad, I know, and I do hope to try and stop drinking it, but I do like my cola.Continually trying the Grocery Challenge. Gotta keep trying!0

Another interesting thread (thanks) - again with good butter, coffee, cheese, meat & the papers. Wonder if we are all going to agree on these??0

Organic beef. I buy cheeper cuts of meat as well eg stewing steak and mince, but I would never buy value meat.0
-
Bread. Very picky about my bread. But I do try hard not to be!0

Meat again - I would rarther have less of a good quality. I will also only buy free range/organic eggs. Finally I only buy fair trade bananas and coffee - as much as I would like to I cannot afford to buy all fair trade stuff but decided that getting at least a couple of things was doing my bit.
Oh yes - I have also just remembered crisps. I don't have them very often but when I do they have to be kettle crisps - any flavour. They are yummy. ASDA own brand just does not cut it!
Good idea for a thread!

My internet connnection ... I can't live without it
But there again I save a fortune because I can access information.
Foodwise .. Yorkshire Tea Bags (I know I can buy cheaper brands but won't, but in my defence I buy them on offer and stock pile) and mature cheddar cheese (has to have a good strong flavour).
Oh and Christmas has to have Terry's Chocolate Oranges or it just wouldn't be the same.
Though how much more I'd pay I'm not sure. I do have my limits, being an OSer girl :rotfl:Enjoying an MSE OS life
