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

In ours in the freezer cabinet near the pies, puddings & strudels

I'm sure the basic tea bags have already been mentioned (aprox 28p I think for 80) I found them tasteless - the colour was OK but it was like drinking hot water!

Yes in the big Sainsburys they're with the strudels but they don't do them in our smaller sainsburys

ok maybe ours hasn't got them either. I am going tomorrow, will look.

Eldest son delivered a damning verdict on the basics beef & tomato pot noodle today - 'Tastes of nothing' I wouldn't know as I wouldn't go near one of those things anyway :eek:

I suppose it had to happen .
I've found a basics item we don't like - the frozen fish in cheese sauce portions.
The whole thing is very strongly "fishy" and the cheese sauce is a nasty yellow colour and savoury flavoured, but not particularly cheesy.

Sainsburys are now doing 18 free range eggs for 2.50! really good value i think

got the jaffa cakes...these are lovely, they are much better than the Tesco value jaffa cakes which i think are not very nice.

Ours hasn't got Basics frozen fruit, I looked then asked. They have other stuff at £2.odd.

the tinned kidney beans are great for things like chilli and curries - I have never tried them just on their own, but by the ook of them I would think they woud be fine

I eat the tinned kidney beans in salad and they are fine! They always seem to have damaged tins in our sainsburys, so usually get them even cheaper. I'm sure they've gone up in price by about 10p though
