Another basics chocolate mousse 4 pack bought yesterday 27p for 4! Taste much better than ok!

The creme caramels aren't bad either, 4 for 45p. I did try the choc mousse but it tasted slightly bitter, the next choc mousse up at 70p for 6 (sainsburys own brand) is unbeatable though its lush!

yep got that offer too needed to stock up with all this sort of stuff after a "turned the tap on and forgot about it for an hour" incident filled up the drawer in the sink unit and dissolved everything in it to a mush :o:eek::D:rolleyes:

Specifically salt and sugar content. Check out the salt and sugar content of many of the brand names and be prepared to eat (hopefully low fat) humble pie, KY. Incidentally, have you set yourself a target of how many posters you intend to annoy today? Unless your target was in double figures, I would imagine you are nearing 'mission accomplished' by now....

Carmine basics type pickled onions are of the onions with vinegar poured on rather than what I would class as real pickles. My mum used to make her own and had them marinating in a kilner jar with pickling spices and all kinds leading to a much better flavour. I have had both the mr t and mr s ones and they are pretty much tasteless.

I like the shower gel but think it's drying my skin out after having used it for about 6 months. )

Value body lotion?:p

panty liners are ok, but sanitary towels no no for me need decent ones with wings - got to be quality in that department sorry.

Never saw the point of wings tbh. They brought them out a long time after started but I never understood what you were paying the extra for. tried them once but they just shifted about loads and slid. Much the same as when they started making them shiny and plasticy.

I personally find the wings hold them in place better - each to their own I suppose - I stock up when on offer as well and prefer always silk but will use shops own brand if cheaper.
