Brands that just can't be swapped out

[00100001]

I'm taking food.

For example, I'm yet to find a decent alternative to Quavers. Supermarket brands are crap!

Ditto Marmite

Ketchup - I put Sainsbury’s ketchup on my egg on toast once and had to throw the whole thing away :( was a sad day

Ketchup and beans!

Coke
Heinz baked beans

Coke, ketchup, beans.

Lurpak. God knows I've tried, but Lurpak is unsubsitutable.

Heinz ketchup and beans
Hellmans mayonnaise
Tesco red label tea (no other teabags taste the same)

Have you tried Morrisons' 'lurpak'? That's pretty good. The Aldi one is too- I'm talking salted spreadable if it makes a difference 🙂

*Unsubstitutable

Agree with Tesco red label, currently got some Morrison’s tea that doesn’t taste of anything

I've tried all the major supermarkets, discount supermarkets and local shops. I have given up looking for a Lurpak substitute. I just stock up and throw a few in the freezer whenever they're on offer.

Lidl's Danpak is just as good as lurpak.

Mine is marmite, nothing own brand ever tastes like proper marmite.

I like supermarket beans

Agree with Heinz beans. Also HP sauce - including the posh sauces. Kellogg's cereals, Coca Cola...

Had high hopes for Lidl's Danpak. Nope.

Lurpak. God knows I've tried, but Lurpak is unsubsitutable.

It's more expensive, but have you had President butter, from France?

Waitrose essential beans are far superior to Heinz. Thick rich sauce not watery.

Ketchup. Even Heinz low salt/sugar is rank. #sorrygregg

Never tried President. I hyperventilate at Lurpak prices as it is. 😱

President butter is cheaper than lurpak in the local Waitrose
agree though, I’ve tried Lidl and Aldi versions and they aren’t as good, they are ok but not as good.

Op Aldi's cheese curls are pretty good Quavers substitutes. Not exactly the same but better than other own brands.

Diet Coke

Lurpak
Hellmans mayonnaise
Cocoa cola
Paxo stuffing
Heinz soup
Any supermarket version of chocolate biscuits such as kitkat, twix
Ditto any supermarket copy of walkers crisps

Yorkshire tea. Although willing to try any suggested substitutes. Felix cat food.

keepingbees oh...no...they’re what promoted me to make this thread. 😰 Now have to fob them off on other people

Lurpak nothing else comes close. Branstons Baked Beans. Heinz Mayonnaise , Nescafe Alta Rica Coffee and Comfort softener Honeysuckle and Sandalwood .

Marmite
Ketchup (Heinz)
Beans (Heinz)
Agree with PP re supermarket versions of kitkats etc. Just no.
