Sainsbury's Basics good/bad items

T2010

Basics cornish pasties. Not sure if this was a bad batch as they have always been good but the latest purchase was mostly pastry.

I agree with the comment about the Fruit Cocktail. Misshapen pieces but it's still fruit!

T2010

Basics beans now reduced so worth a purchase again!

My mum makes her own natural yoghurt and loves the Basics skimmed milk powder 400g for £1.01!

The skimmed milk powder is great in home made American pancake mix and if you make homemade bread as well xx

Another two uses for the skimmed milk powder. Chocolate thick shake-add a slightly higher ratio of milk powder to water than recommended on the pack to a blender to make a pint, throw in some ice cubes, 1-2 heaped tablespoons of cocoa powder, a bit of vanilla extract, 2-4 teaspoons of sugar and blend until smooth and frothy. Much nicer than milkshake syrup or powder. The other use is to add a small amount of water and the milk powder to the blender, and just whizz it up, it makes great frothy milk to put in your coffee xx

Sainsbury's Basics cling film is utter rubbish. Not sticky enough and tears easily.

I use this all the time and find it works fine, much better than some of he others I have tried.
