    Bought farmfoods bacon pieces a few weeks ago and got 7 perfect bacon chops no cut offs at all, all depends on which pack you pick up i guess.

    Just tried Sainsbury's Basic Veg Spring Rolls. A basic filling and a little greasy but a great snack / treat!

    I only bought them as I spotted them in the fridge section and couldn't resist the bargain / trying them out!

    I saw them for the first time today, so will probably give them a try next time.
  • Basics instant coffee: Saw this last night for the first time - 49p for 100g. It comes in a bag so you'll have to save a jar, but that's no hardship for the price. I'm drinking it now and it's no gold blend, but it's not bad and certainly better than other value coffees I've had in the past. As someone who loves coffee I find this to be quite acceptable if, like me, you've fallen on hard times and need to economise.

    I love basics rice pudding - I certainly think it's as good as the brand pudding.

    I did think this would not contain much rice...how wrong I was. Packed with rice and very very tasty!

    Basics Marmalade is excellent.

    Not a fan of Basics Pickle spread though. Bransons every time...sorry!
