    Resurrecting this thread so no-one makes the mistake of buying Sainsburys ice cream cones for they are completely tasteless.

    They're not Basics Range, if your picture is correct.

    True, but they were also a waste of £1! It's worth my effort posting to save someone £1.

    Always worth giving the downshift items a chance though, VfM4meplse. If you don't try, you don't know!

    Ta, might check them out then. Lamb chops are always so expensive!

    I don't normally shop at Sainsburys as I think it's hugely overpriced, BUT there is a sainsbury's around the corner from where I work, and we sometimes get basics biscuits at the office. The best ones as far as my (sophisticated!) tastebuds can tell are:
    Basics milk chocolate digestives;
    Basics bourbon biscuits;
    Basics Custard Creams;

    All have been dunked in tea and are delicious :D

    £10.22 for Basics versus £11 for regular. Hardly seems worth the downshift.
