Things are creeping up every week. Is not good.

the basics fruit and veg is great...i must agree the prices are creeping up but perhaps they are in all shops ?

Sainsbury's Basics corned beef is really nice and great value - 8 slices for £1.50 from the chiller cabinet, doesn't taste like a 'value' product at all and the slices are really thick - much better than the packs of 4 flimsy slices you get anywhere else for 99p or so. I love corned beef sarnies for lunch at work so this was a great find for me!

This has gone up to £1.70 now. Still good I think.

I got the basics dried mixed fruit today, I assume its going to be the same as the other stuff and it's only cooking that will affect the final outcome.

Bought their Basics Tonic Water for the first time last week - not bad for 25p a bottle. Goes very nicely with my Gin, ice and a slice of lime.

Basics sparkling water 10p a bottle and diet tonic water 25p a bottle - how much difference could there be for water!

Basics sparkling water went up to 18p a bottle - the price usually seems to match Tesco Value one - but although cheap - 10p > 18p?!

I can't get to like Sainsbugs though... just something about it that makes me want to get round quick and get out!

Basics ham gone up from 42p to 50p, but it's still good value at 5p per (very thin!) slice. You need two in a butty but you can fold one up into a small Basics roll and make a ham roll for 10p including 2p for spread, so good for lunch boxes.

The title says it all really. I got them before and they were totally tasteless.
