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?

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

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

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.

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