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

    Organic beef. I buy cheeper cuts of meat as well eg stewing steak and mince, but I would never buy value meat.

    Bread. Very picky about my bread. But I do try hard not to be!
  • 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 :o 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 :D

    Another one for meat - never buy value stuff. The other one is diet pepsi/coke - own brands ones just dont come close!

    There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.
