    I've noticed a massive increase in the range recently.

    The Plain pitta - Very Good
    Eggs - Fine
    Young Leaf Salad - Very Good
    Cooked Chicken Tika Pieces - Very nice although a little watery
    Salmon - Also very good although watery.

    Bought the fruit cocktail chilled breakfast juice 58p for 1 litre or £1.05 for 2 litres yesterday. Very nice - I even preferred it to the much more expensive "5 alive" that I normally buy!

    tinned tomatoes - brilliant

    mozzarella ball - brill for homemade pizzas

    tortilla chips - 25p a bag - really tasty! Some of the family prefer Morrison's Value - also 25p.

    have bought some red kidney beans (tinned) - about 17p - will report back when I've used them!

    • Mozzerella Balls are fab - we use them in pasta bakes and in paninis.

    well, i have tried so many flavors of Mozzarella and Sainsburys Basic is the best one- its quite creamy, super soft!
    i give 10 of 10 for this :T

    I was looking for frozen fruit - couldnt find it . Is it beside the ice cream or in a freezer cabinet?
