What's one thing you always buy the best of?

[Dandy0911]

When you do your weekly food shop.
We don't get all the fancy branded organic bits but...
Eggs! Nothing beats a poached burford brown on some seeded bread!

The things we try buy the best of is -
Eggs
Bog roll (absolute must)
And free range meat.

What are your best of the best necessities?

Strawberries 🍓

Blitz kitchen roll

Blitz kitchen roll

Better than Plenty? I only buy Plenty as I think it's the best but if Blitz is good I'll give it a whirl.

Not the best as the sky is the limit, but I get the best I can afford on pet insurance, dental preventative checks and treatment, any vitamin supplements, and mattresses.

Have not used toilet roll for years.

Do you have a bidet or one of those new fangled loos with a washer/dryer attachment?

Branston baked beans.

Heinz salad cream, ketchup and Mayo. Anything else tastes rank although I do like Hellman's Mayo too

Coffee has to be dowe and egberts or L'Or and at a push Nescafé gold blend. Cheap coffee has an insipid after taste, and co op coffee don't get me started on that one! If that was the only brand of coffee available I'd never drink the stuff again. We used to get it free in the staff room. I used to buy my own so I could have a decent cup of coffee until the cleaner started helping herself to it because it 'tastes nicer' funnily enough she never realised when I switched the cheaper brand in the more expensive jar and the dearer stuff into the cheaper jar

Bread has to be decent
Proper butter unless I'm skint and desperate and most other stuff bar meat and fish I don't mind the value stuff

Eh? How do you wipe the back doors?

Heinz baked beans.

Bin bags, toilet roll and nappies. Also baby wipes. Hate the cheap thin ones.

So many here I agree with!

I'm a sucker for good Mayo. A jar of stokes Mayo I get occasionally as a treat.

Also agree with coffee. I hate gravy granule coffee.

I love buying the wonky veg though!

Another is tea bags! Has to be twinnings English breakfast tea!

Yes to the coffee! We have a tescos own in the office and it just tastes burnt it's awful!

Genius to swap the coffee in the jars though. I always have to keep my coffee under my desk but even then the desk neighbours tend to help themselves 🤣

Heinz ketchup. Colgate toothpaste - I gag on any other make. No idea why! Decent shoes. I walk a lot and cheap shoes just fall apart. M&S piccolino tomatoes. Others just don't cut the mustard!

Tomatoes. They must be vine-ripened - I don’t like the cheap, watery ones.

I completely agree about the bin bags.

Butter
Washing up liquid
Coffee
Meet
Potatoes
Bread
Tea
Toilet roll
Tin foil
Cereal - my kids know when its fake

Vegetables. A Riverford box every week costs me about £20 and forces me to use plenty of seasonal veg until the next one.

Diet coke only

Butter
Coffee
Bog roll..

That's it. I'm easy go with everything else!

Kelloggs crunchy nut cornflakes

Whittards Guatemala elephant ( yes real name) coffee
@Toomuchtooyoung01 & @Sparklingbrook def Biitz kitchen roll , large strong sheets
Free range eggs
Fairy washing up liquid

Ketchup! Must be Heinz. Made the mistake of purchasing M&S's own brand in a pinch during the summer. It was horrid!

Cat food
Coffee & Green Tea
Loo roll (and even though I only buy Cushelle or Andrex I double check every time they haven't snuck any of that 2-ply stuff in under the guise of a special offer).

Low fat mincemeat. Fairy liquid. Bin bags. Coffee. Bread.

Toilet roll.
Irish salted real butter.
Coffee. Nothing fancy but definitely branded.
Dog food and treats.

After that I'm happy with own brand anything, yellow sticker anything.

So far from this thread I have found out you wipe the back doors with Heinz beans.

Great thread btw !

Dog food.
Skincare.
Heinz ketchup and salad cream.
