The pasta sauce is nice.

I tried their Basics stir fry pack the other week. Packet was far too big for just one meal for two of us but it was still great

Has anyone tried any of the soups? have a tinned cream of chicken soup (amazingly way lower in calories then I had thought it would be!) but am too chicken to try it!

Any tried and tested reviews?

The cream of tomato soup tastes great.

Both the chicken and tomato soup are surprisingly good and I am very fussy -They are a little less thick but that is to be expected - before it had to be Heinz.

Thanks so much to everyone who mentioned the white choc cos on your recommendations i tried it today and it's AMAZING.yumyum!

i think the basics yogurts (4 @ 29p) are so much better then any other value yogurts, particularly as they're 2% fat rather then ultra low fat so a bit thicker and yummier.

i tried the cheese, potato and onion pasties (99p for 3) today and was really impressed.the pastry's good and there's a nice amount of filling too.oh and the 10 pack of sultana scones is fab just for a midweek nibble with a cup of tea.

has anyone tried the laundry liquid?i nearly did today but wasn't sure so left it in the end.

I have also tried the white chocolate - today in fact - and like the poster above can confirm it's great....

I bought the wheatabix for breakfast last week and well you get LOADS there's about 3 weeks worth of cereal in the box and tastes great.

Gingernutmeg

I bought some of their snack crackers last week and was impressed. They're a bit like Tuc biscuits but thinner and less salty (although still quite high in fat). They're 54p a packet (I think) and they're not bad at all.

I bought the basics 'Weetabix' too! They are really good - and amazingly cheap. I'm working my way through some of the basics, bought the cashew nuts; I think 200g for £1.09? About half the price of 'brands', will use in a stir fry soon.

The mushrooms are good, you need to clean them but when you put them in your cooking what does it matter what they look like?
