Basic cream cheese is good, also all basic choc especially the plain. I also like basic marmalade [grumpy says it is too sweet for him]. We have also had the basic pot noodles, [use these for OS winter picnic when we go out for the day, we take a flask of boiling water, tea bags, basics milk powder, packet basics choc digestives or home made fruit cake, a couple of bananas].

The Basics jellies are not vegetarian, just in case you have any veggies in the family.

The cream of tomato soup tastes great.

Has anyone tried the basics washing up liquid. It is in a bottle like the old Fairy liquid, which can be useful.

Just a note to say I used some of the basics dark chocolate for baking yesterday and it was really good - not at all bad for 27p a bar!

I use the basics washing up liquid. Most of my dishes are done in the dish washer but what I clean by hand it does a great job on. Cheap and cheerful!
