    6 packs of sausage rolls, about £1.05.

    Now .... I know some of you will mutter "snouts bums and willies" .... but, of the "cheap sausage rolls" I've bought and eaten over the years these are really the best/tastiest.

    They're a bit better than the £land Welsh Pantry.
    They're noticeably better than the 4ldi equivalent.

    :)

    I've probably had a pack of six every week this year....

    Fish, especially smoked salmon
    Cured meats
    Fruit juice
    Be wary of 'Deluxe' which may not be as good value - it varies, and I don't think their wine as good value as Co-op.
    If you like to use olive oil, look for their 'ordinary' olive oil (not extra virgin)
    Always look at the 'central aisle' at the beginning of your shop, then return at the end to get anything that still seems like good value.
