    Sausages, cannot stand frozen or own brand. Have to be one of 3 brand which cost usually £2 for 8 sausages . Was lucky today though as where on offer today in Tesco for £1 so stocked up. Or from butchers.

    I so agree. That's my non-compromise too. I only buy the ones from our local pork butcher. £6 a kilo and worth every penny.

    I won't compromise and buy value meat. I have tried it and it wasn't moneysaving as it was vile and either pumped full of fat or water.

    Quality cat food

    Ecover detergents

    Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry. But by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it introduces the idea that if we try to understand each other, we may even become friends.

    Quality food
    Pure and simple
    It's just that quality doesn't have to cost a fortune

    Central heating when it's been freezing although I don't have in as high as I used to.

    Boots Perfect & Protect - try and buy it when it's 3 for 2 (or get it as Xmas pressies!)

    Having my hair done at the salon every 6 - 8 weeks

    Pretty much everything else is game for money saving :D
