What things can't you compromise on?

I won't compromise on toilet rolls, bread and nice coffee :rolleyes:

Shampoo (it's nearly £5 but lasts about 8 months)
Eggs - I only buy organic or free range eggs - the taste difference is amazing, and as I eat eggs a lot I want tasty ones!

That's it, I eat value products frequently and very little meat, I prefer Quorn and tofu

Having notched the thermostate down a degree and cut the time its on by half an hour this morning got me thinking about were I wasn't prefared to cut back.

So far for our amily its been loo roll - no-one can stand the smart price stuff so its back to nice soft white for us.

Also I will only by good quality bath stuff, shampoo, creams etc. No parafin/ petroleum or sls as I find it irritated mine and dd's excema so Lush, Neals Yard, Tesco's Natural range etc. I'm happy to make cut backs in other areas to fund it though!

I buy cheaper cuts of good quality meat and eat less of it rather than buy 'cheap meat'

I'll add this to the existing thread on compromise to keep ideas together

I wouldn't compromise on Eggs - it has to be Organic Wholemeal eggs

I can buy value stuff as long as it is raw but wouldn't buy any cheap processed/tinned food - other than Tomatoes as find the expensive ones too thick for our liking. We always bulk buy stuff when good quality ones are on offer.

Have used a value tea bag today and have found it fine. Though DH wouldn't touch the stuff :rolleyes:. It has to be Yorkshire for him....

Just a quickie for those of you who like decent lav roll
Has anyone else noticed that the quality of Tesco Luxury Soft toilet roll is really poor these days? The last 2 packs I bought have been really thin and quite rough so I definately won't be buying it again :mad:
Sod you Tesco, someone else will get my poop-money

Has to be Heinz Beans and Ketchup for me - nothing else compares!
Also
Tetley teabags
Nescafe Coffee
Diet Coke - only buy it once every couple of weeks but it has to be the 'real thing';)
Morning Fresh washing up liquid, but it is cheaper than some of the other brands anyway,
Green Giant sweetcorn
free range eggs - from local farm shop
