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.0 -

toilet roll i have tried cheapo loo roll and its just not cost effective0 -

Quality cat food

Ecover detergentsMan plans and God laughs...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.0 -

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