Sainsbury's Basics good/bad items

basics mayonnaise is fine and dandy. Not actually tasted it on its own (I never do with any mayonnaise) but it makes a very cheap tuna mayonnaise when mixed with the basics line caught tuna (60p). 41p for a 470ml jar. Approx 75% cost less than Hellman's...and less than half its fat content, shockingly.

freebie I had some of these type from Tesco - was a bit disappointed. tasted ok but not very fishy and were grey inside so I doubt ppl will get away with giving them to kids unless they are the type to smother them in ketchup. One of them actually had a grey brown thingy running down the middle inside which was inedible.

Very disappointed by them. Bought them cos they were the only battered fish to come in packs of only 2 in our Mr T.This was my first taste of pollock which I had always heard was just as good as cod and a more sustainable alternative.

I'm with you on the 28p teabags. I drink tea nonstop all day, and these are totally fine, better than Tetley's one cup . I am sick now at the thought of how much money I spent on tea in the past...

I've been reading in the paper today that the price of tea is set to rocket due to the failure of crops in the tea-producing regions. I know I shouldn't be encouraging anyone to do this but I stocked up on the 28p tea bags on my last shop. OK, I got 10 boxes For less than £3. For fairtrade tea bags . Crazy.
