as well as the great Heinz tomato soup offer, they also have 2 x 160 Yorkshire teabags for £5 (normally £6.90):wave:0 -

Pallanquin Masala Chai Tea
Pink Lady Apples

I nearly always have these, as many many pounds have been wasted on being a complete sucker for anything new. I am now nearly reformed thanks to this site and a stern talking to from my bank manager.It was hard though!
HP sauce
Linda McCartney veggie sausages
Free range eggs - rather do without too
unsalted butter
Kingsmill crumpets
Really strong cheddar (need less in sauces and on toast)
Taylors coffee (1 cup per day)
Skincare Liz Earle
Shampoo, conditioner & perfume Body Shop
M&S Clothes I buy much fewer but better quality
I make most meals from scratch and am veggie,so I feel too I can justify the butter, coffee etc0 -
I have to have....
Heinz salad cream
Philidelphia cream cheese
Loreal shampoo
Neutrogena pure moisteriser (haven't found anything else my skin agrees with)
Tetley tea bags
*Edited to add - HP sauce (thanks Juliettet!)
I dont buy value meat either and i always get free range eggs.
I mainly buy supermarket own brand with a few value products thrown in, i'll always try the value range first and if its no good i'll move up a brand.
