Hey Jenny, you're not fussy then!!! Do you find the Kingsmill from Iceland is fresher than from other places also? I don't understand why but here in Taunton, thats the way it is. I've just realised what the time is, think I'd better go to bed or won't be up for work in the moning. Night all Vivienne |

Dettol antiseptic disinfectant, antibacterial hand wash and soap. Sanex Cream bath and shower Gel. Colgate Toothpaste. Green Fairy Liquid. Kelloggs Cornflakes, Scott's Porridge Oats. PG Tips Pyramid Tea bags. Douwe Egberts Coffee. Hienz Soups and Sauces. Aldi Baked Beans, Corned Beef, Tuna. Aldi Blue Bathroom cleaner, Yellow Kitchen cleaner, Black bags, Mouthwash. Aldi Orange, Apple Juice. Wilkinsons, Food bags, Foil, Cling Film, Lavender Oil, Pedal Bin Liners. All other shopping done at Morrisons. But not their Vegetables. Oh sorry forgot, Kingsmill bread from Iceland, its cheaper than Morrisons. Toilet rolls, from Macro, as good as the dearer Brands. Daz Soap Powder and Dettox anti bacteria from there also Jenny. Great thread BTW |

Bird's Eye frozen peas (haven't found any others as good) Comfort Pure fabric conditioner (any other...even hypoallergenic...brings out my younger daughter in spots) We use a lot of own brand stuff and I find most of it is very good. When my kids were little they were perfectly happy with the cheap baked beans. A lot of the things I can buy really cheaply in Lidls are very good. Their chocolate icecream with chockie bits in is gorgeous. I agree about the decent PG Tips looseleaf tea though. We're not keen on tea bags. We make our tea extra nice with a tiny amount of Lapsang Souchong added to it. Sue |

Soup, Beans, Ketchup all have to be Heinz Loo roll has to be quality, mostly Andrex as they often do packs of 9 for the price of 6. Coffee, Nescafe Bread, Kingsmill Mayonaise, there's only one, Hellmans |

Prefer not to `compromise` as most(but not all)of the good brands are better than the cheaper ones`. I just think that you get what you pay for. Love and Peace Marianne.xxxx |

Nescafe? You've got to be joking. That's not coffee. We only drink real coffee. eg Le Carte Noire |
