    Are the lidl gold blend alright then ?

    I've been on the Lidl Knightsbridge Red Label for ages, they're as good as any & cost £1.15 for 160 bags.

    The Gold Blend are stronger.

    I'm happy with Sainsbury's Red Label at £2.90 for 240 bags. It makes a good strong cup.

    My tea bags went out of date in 2008, still in the cupboard for the one cup I may have a year.

    The lidl gold tea bags are OK. My husband really liked them but I really like a stronger tea so I prefer the red label ones. I always stock up when lidl has them on the super weekend deals. B&m sell bags of 1150 typhoo. Last time I went in there they were 9.99 but that was a while ago so will probably be more now.

    I used to be a PG girl until I worked out the price per bag, then I went through a few of the own brand ones, Tesco value were horrible, as were Asda, but then I tried Sainsbury Basics which were OK for a while, until the price went up hideously (long before Brexit) and now I use the Lidl Knightsbridge Red Label, they are absolutely fine and many of my friends have converted to them after having a cuppa here and being convinced that I still used PG!

    OH uses the Gold version, I use the decaf version for my last couple of cuppas before bed. Gold is too strong for me, but there is only a slight difference between the red and the decaf, and it is a fair price to pay for a decent nights' sleep.

    We only drink decaf which is marginally more expensive than ordinary tea, but buy ours in poundland for a box of 80 typhoo decaf - they have regular typhoo and sometimes even pg tips.

    Appalling, but I think it's better to find something you like & lay in a stash, and take the HowMuch?! shock later.

    Mind, I have five boxes of Coops own label stashed, taking advantage of a Christmas promotion & a couple of boxes of Sainsburys own white label which I intended to use for dying wool & may end up drinking.
