Tesco Value Food (and other budget brands)
 

What's your opinions on the budget brands?

I always used to assume they would be utter crap and tasteless because they are so cheap, but I have been enlightened!

Tesco Value Chicken Noodles - 8p - Tasty as!
Tesco Value Mini Swiss Rolls x 6 - 32p - Yum Yum
Tesco Value Chocolate - 27p for 150g, tastes almost as good as Dairy Milk
Tesco Value Lemonade - absolutely wonderful!
Tesco Value Apples/Bananas - whats the difference?
Tesco Value Orange/Apple Juice - tasty as!

I might yet become on of those people that has a shopping trolley full of Value goods - but there are some things you can't get away with buying cheapo goods:

Coke
Irn Bru
Baked Beans (Branston beans ONLY for me!)
Eggs (don't do battery hens, get ours from local farm, ALL double Yolk too!)
Crisps - Walkers or nothing!
Batteries

Are you a value-addict?

Just munched through a whole pack of tesco value chocolate sandwich bars (there version of the penguin)

taste the same imo

not really a fan of tesco value, but the normal tesco range is pretty good. there sausage rolls are nice :y:

I find Asda Coke is better the Coca Cola.. But nothing beats Pepsi.

tesco value orange juice! much much nicer then the branded stuff that costs £'ss

Noodles....8p..? Dare not imagine what sort of chemicals and shite is in them to get them at that price tbh.

Most of it might taste okay, but it's packed with shite.

That is the downside of it yes!

But things like fruit are ok!!!

Tesco value shit roll is like sandpaper!

am a snob... labelled foods ftw..

apart from morrisons coco pops (dont actually cost much less) but taste way nicer than the "real" cocopops lol

some Tesco Value stuff is actually pretty good,

Cant go cheap on everything tho, minimum cost maximum reacation

i woundlt dare, i wouldnt have balls left if i gave her that!


tesco value fruit ftw when making smoothies!

18p for a bag of salted tortilla dorito like crisp adictive and very salty but hey'up:y:

i wouldnt get value fizzy drinks, will be full of shit!

i buy them! nicee:P

Cheap stuff is better than expencive stuff...

smart price at asda range :y:

when me and the missus moved in together, we said we'd just buy value stuff to keep cost down

but tbh most of the important stuff was utter shit, some was ok though.

will never buy value meat again., all browna and stringy yuk :(

always buy value cards from tesco's, they always end up in the bin anyway!

Food has got expensive and all of a sudden the value prices look tempting !! However meat appears way cheaper at the local butchers - thats where im going from now on for all my meat produce

value cola is complete shite tbh

but some things really are the same as some major brands imo!

yeah the value fizzy drinks are horrible

Value Jaffa Cakes used to be the shit. Much better than proper ones...

Lidl Chocolate its amazingly good. Almost better than Cdbury, Galaxy etc.

Ikea chocolate is awesome

Always buy the cheap sh*t with mates-it's how you do things as a tight arse student.

Tesco value lucozade thing taste better :y:

Waitrose Coke tastes excactly the same as Pepsi.. but waitrose is hardly cheap :ponder:

Cheap tesco chocolate is so much better though :y:

Yeah i agree with value locozade! It's lovely

Value Crisps are Vile...

Stuff like value pasta and rice etc are all good, but value chickens and meat etc? I'd rather join SSC

We arnt all on 70k a year like craig though

I do give 65k of that to charity though (the saxo fund)

The "paint my car orange trust" by any chance

i work at ASDA and so i eat ASDA value food all the time in the canteen. The ASDA value chocolate is the nicest chocolate every. 23p for a massive bar its good. There is a lot of value stuff that is top stuff and id buy all the time.

A point thats often made. All food must pass certain standards and so all foods are generally made in the same way with the same things. Asda also have removed all their artafical (sp?) colourings and perservatives in all their brand products so they are pretty good.

Anything in tins and is value price will taste like crap. Value fruit all seems to be good to me.

i think value foods are like any food, some teate gd and some taste shit! and value foods are a gd thing f your on a budget like i was when i was weldin at collage! me and some mates used to walk to netto i think it was and iceland next door, 99p for two pack of pancakes and that was my dinner sorted lol

Im a brand whore. Stuff like cereal has to be kellogs, non of this imitation cheap stuff. And ive never noticed the tesco value fruit, how can it be any different?

Most of the value stuff is packaged by the big players. You get the same stuff but in different packaging.

Supermarket marketing departments have massive budgets for getting manufacturers to package their products in the supermarkets packaging

Say that after a few jars!!!

mike, the more i read about your life and on goings, the more chav i think you are...

ever ad tesco value larger? lol if so wots it like?

are you shittin me?

and you never replied to my text...

Me and the girlfriend have said we'll be sensible and try and keep costs down.

chocolate bars like penguins, buscuits, cling film, foil, yoghurts etc.. all seem pretty much the same, i wouldnt buy the 19p cola but the 39p range is ace :D

No point wasting money on something your going to shit anyway :D

anyone tried the value bog roll? bet its like wipeing your ass with a 80wet/dry sand paper
