I've said it before but the raisin fruit slab cake is amazing I can't get enough of it!

I've just had a chunk of that for pudding, with a Basics chocolate mousse on top. Yummy and about 20p total cost.

Frozen berry mix is very good. I think its about £1.15.

Am sure there's more. Happy with all of them. In fact they're partly the reason I manage to stretch our housekeeping budget so we can have the occasional luxury.

Not very MSE, but their orange label Spanish white is great if you like your wine on the sweet side and only around £3 a bottle

Spotted jars of Sainsbury's Basics tartare sauce - never seen them before! I'll be doing Fish finger sandwiches friday with the sauce (with basics fish fingers and part baked rolls of course), will post up my opinion!!

Funnily enough I almost bought this yesterday & then saw that their ordinary own brand is cheaper, 35.2p per 100ml as opposed to 37.5 for the basics.

Ok, I can see quite a few of you haven't braved the curry sauce. Well we've eaten it twice now and it's great...tastes more like the sort of curry you had at school but definitely great tasting in a retro way....all for 9pence!!!

The chocolate caramel wafers (5 for 40p) are really worth it too and only 70 calories per bar!
