Basic Cashew Nuts are cheaper than Tesco, and well what can really go wrong with a nut?
Basic Nappy Bags - 29p for 100 bags! I bought so many during the last Little Ones sale I think they will take my 4 month old up through potty training. Also cheaper than Tesco.

Basics onion chutney - 80p per jar. I think it's lovely, bought it on Saturday night and it's nearly all gone, I've been using it with everything Will definately become a staple in our house!

the cheap 9p noodles

According to the website, they don't exist :mad:

http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/groceries/index.jsp

Has anyone got a link or the full name of the product, please?

(Just noticed that the link above doesn't look good - it works for me but maybe that's cache. It should lead to the aisle: Rice, Pasta, Noodles >>> Noodles.)

They may not be available in your store. Type in instant noodles in the Sainsbury's search box (works for me). They are available in chicken & curry flavour.

Hi,

I have a few Sainsbury's Basics recommendations:

- Hot chocolate
- Sanitary towels
- Muffins
- Crunchy salad

I find these products to be cheap and good value for money :-)

Hello.

I got the Basics peanut butter yesterday. It is fab - can't taste any difference - brilliant!

I like their basic tinned fruit salad in natural juice, excellant value at around 34p a tin and full of different fruit not just lots of pineapple or pears like a lot of tins.On holiday recently my friend brought some of their basic equivellant to Kit Kats and they were very good she said about 79p for a big packet I also thought their cling film wrap was good as it doesn't all go into a static bunch and can't be got off the roll.I hate it when that happens.
I do love sainsburys low fat ginger nuts they are just so nice and more like cookies than biscuits they are quite thick.
My favorite sainsbobs thing isn't cheap though so I only buy lots when its on 'managers special' and that's their aberdeen angus steaks they just melt in the mouth and I stock up when reduced from £22 odd a kilo down to £11 a kilo.My local sauinsburys have a brilliant meat counter and also their fish reductions are very good on a Saturday afternoon I once got a whole salmon for £7.00 and the chap gutted it and topped and tailed it for me then cut it into steak sized pieces so I could freeze them when I got home I give my local store 10/10 for customer service they are brilliant
