What food brands do you not compromise on

[tortillachipsanddips]

Light-hearted

I really don't think we are a good brand snob family.

We use supermarket own baked beans / ketchup / bread butter etc where ever cheaper.

However I do like my instant coffee and squash to be our normal brands.
This morning my daughter refused her cereal as it tasted horrible and I had swapped our crunchy nut to Tesco branded and I agreed with her I could really taste the difference which I was surprised about.

What items do you not compromise on ?

Tea, Coffee, Coke, Heinz Beans, Fairy liquid, Helmans Mayo.. oh and lurpak

DH is a Warburtons fanatic but I personally think Tesco toastie loaf is better!

I think tea bags are the only thing I buy branded. I dont drink tea but always buy branded anyway for dp and guests. Dp has never asked for them to be branded so I dont actually know why I even do that.

I'm a big coffee drinker but will drink any supermarket brand.

Other than that I buy Pampers nappies and fairy liquid tabs. (I know they arent food but tea and coffee arent food either and others mentioned them )

Bread aswell actually, I always buy branded bread!

I can take or leave many brands but I have to to have Yorkshire tea

Diet coke
Warburtons crumpets

HP sauce
All other kinds of brown sauce are called 'Abomination sauce' in this house

Heinz tomato soup and ketchup.

@Mamadothehump

Heinz ketchup Heinz baked beans (I'm not bothered about this one but DD2 can genuinely taste the difference.)

I think that's it!!

snap

Lurpak
McVities or Hovis digestive biscuits
My DP will buy the cheapest of everything apart from Sunpat

I don’t compromise on food. We don’t drink, don’t smoke so food is our “luxury”.

That’s not to say I won’t buy own brand or cheaper stuff, lots is equally good or better. But if we find a certain brand is “best”, like heinz ketchup or clipper tea/coffee/hot chocolate, that’s what I buy.

My DP will buy the cheapest of everything apart from Sunpat

Sunpat is a relatively cheap version of PB. We only by brands that don’t contain palm oil, so I guess we don’t compromise there. Twice the price, sunpat would be the cheaper option!!

Twinnings Tea,, Hellman’s Mayo, rooster potatoes, birds eye peas, John West no drain tuna, Knorr stock, bistro best gravy, napolena tinned toms and beans...probably loads more I can’t bring to mind. I’m a creature of habit and I know what I like!

Teabags, would have previously agreed with lurpak but aldi's norpak grew on me

Lurpack butter

Heinz ketchup

Hellmans mayo

Branston pickle

Kelloggs corn flakes, special K

Weetabix

Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi

Yorkshire tea

Douwe Egberts instant coffee

Hovis bread

Fairy Washing Up Liquid

Fairy Softener

We buy our coffee beans from a Portuguese cafe down the roast. It's amazing.

Heinz beans, I like own brand but the snack pots are a better portion so I get those.

Cheerios, it's all DP has for breakfast and he doesn't like the own brand so we stick with it.

Yorkshire Tea - obvious reasons.

Hellman's - they don't do a vegan mayo own brand yet sadly.

That's pretty much it tbh, we eat lots of other beans but they're the same no matter the brand, lots of veg which is obvs own brand. I can't really think of what else we eat but most of it's just generic.

Oh yes marmite and Sun Pat peanut butter.

Although now I've read that Sun Pat has hidden palm oil in their E471 so that's that gone. Balls.

Yorkshire Tea
Domestos bleach

7up
Kellogg's cornflakes
Kenco coffee
Laundry detergent
Fairy washing up liquid

Everything else is Aldi

Alpen and Fairy, that’s about all really.

I just remembered one more.

Oh and proper Coca Cola coke
