The bit I have underlined got me again. So what she spends a huge amount on cars and fixtures and fittings for her house? Too right its none of your business! How can you assume its added to their mortgage maybe they got an interest free deal? Maybe your neighbour is like us and saves hard to buy things?
As said before, maybe they buy value items because they like them, not because they have to fund an expensive lifestyle!


Ok you got me on the kids shoes thing Maybe the kid had shoes indoors that she wouldn't wear?
I don't know, but I don't agree with assuming the worst of everyone, especially when it has nothing to do with anyone else how and what they spend their money on. None of us know what goes on in peoples lives behind closed doors.

sorry ive offended you. im not assuming much really. we arent typical 'neighbours' as such. quite friendly as it goes, so she has confided these things. but when the tv accidently 'fell' on the floor whilst decorating recently, so she could have a new lcd tv, why couldnt she have afforded a new tele. oh and this isnt assumption, i was told this before they did it. shocking!

I buy Tesco Value loo rolls for the main bathroom upstairs and the downstairs toilet as the kids just waste toilet paper, and at 38p for 4 rolls its a bargain. I use something sightly softer in the En-suite as OH had piles last month and he didn't like the roughness of Tesco value...but he hasn't yet noticed that I put Tesco Value in there yesterday as I had run out of the soft stuff.

You haven't really offended me as such and I apologise for my posts as they are more like rants. I guess its easier for me to rant on here at someone I don't know than it is for me to have a go at the people who actually say it to my face. Believe it or not I'm not a confrontational person

value rolls should stand up to the job (no pun intended) i prefer to spend money on a good diet than on dealing with the waste. if you have a decent diet you should not have problems with loo paper tearing or riping when using valus loo roll.
surely its luxary compaired to the izal tracing paper i used to have to use in the school toilets when i was a kid!!

Perhaps the neighbours new car is only a "bog" standard model :rotfl:

I buy tesco cheapo loo roll, (the 12 packs) never quite saw the point of spending more cash for quilted/scented/coloured etc. Not sure how much we go through but I'd guesstimate 4-6 rolls a week. Thats 2 adults, one at home all day, and one 2 yr old (still in nappies but uses loo roll for occasional bum wipes and nose blowing)

I have managed to get OH down from three (!) rolls a week (goodness knows what he was doing with it) all on his own to one....has taken me four years tho! .......

But I wont buy Value stuff. Washing gloves, dog food and loo roll are about the only things I don't compromise on

I don't use value myself. As others have said, it seems a false economy, particularly as I don't have kids to waste it and am not in dire financial straits.

My brand of choice is Nouvelle, bought when on special offer. Are any of the supermarkets doing deals on it at the moment? I do like the stuff, and it's recycled, and I've only got about 3 weeks' supply left in the cupboard.
