  • Assuming Asda have the same offers country-wide;


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

    After reading the posts I'm going to try:

    Branston baked beans and brown sauce
    Asda shades toilet paper
    Kallo stock cubes

    If you don't try different things, you'll never know whether you like them or not. If you don't like them then don't buy them again.
    i don't like the asda paper, it feels funny! tesco soft is much better. and branston beans are really nice, not as sweet as hinez and cheaper!
  • I always have to have:

    Pallanquin Masala Chai Tea
    Pink Lady Apples
    Fairy Liquid
    Always Towels
    Oil of Olay mosturiser
    High Meat Content Sausages

    Sketchers Trainers/Shoes as they fit perfectly, but can normally pick these up in the sales.

    Benefit make-up - Everything seems to last for over a year and I use it every day.
  • Birds Eye garden peas and Heinz Salad Cream
  • my h will only have heinz beans ... he cant have any other brand
    and i only like "proper" diet coke.. i couldnt buy asdas own or another brand it has to be real diet coke
    also my H wouldnt let me buy smart price bacon or smart price chicken/meat
    it has to be even the asdas own brand but hed rather have the free range ( this was even before hugh and jamie stepped in!)
  • I forgot Rowntrees cocoa and Triumph bras.
    :wave:
  • 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 etc :o
  • 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.

    I will not have cheapo toilet paper - I like something soft!!!

    And I use sunsilk and Frizzese hair styling products, otherwise my hair frizzes all over the place.

    Must have:

    HP Sauce
    Panjana tea bags - not sure these might be NIreland only
    Proper Diet Coke
    Good quality meat from the buthchers shop - not the stuff from supermarkets
    Fairy liquid - I have tried others and nothing last as long as Fairy Liquid
    Jellynose
