Bargain food that is actually delicious

[Baublingalong]

We have been searching for the holy grail - affordable tasty baked beans, and I think I've finally found them. Asda own brand. What other affordable tasty treats are in the own brand and smart price aisle from any supermarket that you choose over the premium version?

Turkey dinosaurs. I could eat them in my sleep.

I love lamb breast but it's so hard to find now.
To add to the bargains, chicken livers.

I've eaten soooo many packets of these, in one go🤭

I've walked out of Morrisons with 3 bags, no alcohol, no pet food and the only bath stuff was baby bath and I'd spent£119 so can well believe it

Chana masala - an onion, a tin of toms, chickpeas and spices. Cheap and delicious.

The fast show had the right idea

Home made spicy parsnip soup, and home made brocolli & stilton soup.

Both great for using up Christmas left overs, veggies, cheese and small amounts of cream or cream fraiche. 🙂

Yes! Love Chana Masala!

Gigantes plaki, a Greek version with beans, is also good!

My husband loves these! Buys about five packets at a time because once he went there and there weren't any. (Possibly because he buys 5 packets at a time...)

I actually think both the Aldi and Lidl cheapest range of beans are better than their standard range. Heinz are too expensive now and they're watered down. I buy the Asda ones too and they are also good. My husband like the battered fish from Asda that is in the cheap yellow range. I find more expensive battered frozen fish greasy and too heavy on the batter.

I'll always be a huge fan of a tinned potato!

😂Love this!

Would you mind sharing?

Tesco own brand dark chocolate digestives. Way less sweet than mcvities and about a third of the price. Yummy. Also the tesco choc chip digestives are bloody good too.

The four pack of basic Aldi biscuits. Custard creams, bourbons, nice biscuits (much tastier than their appearance) and some other plain biscuit.

Think they are under a pound.

Great when the kids have friends over and an entire packet is demolished before you can count to 10.

The Asda Just Essentials tomato soup tastes identical to Heinz.

@80smonster sure it's this! Sometimes I add carrots in to the roasted bit, or celery with the onion. It's never turned out bad

I like Morrisons own beans. I find Aldis have too much juice.

Definitely the Asda BBeans for us, thick sauce and nice and tomatoey.

I am a fan of tinned mackeral in brine - it’s a cheap way to eat oily fish. I grow parsely, dill and coriander at home, so I’ll make a salad with lemon, black pepper, mackeral, herbs and lettuce (or whatever salad is lying around) and eat it either with toast or with a tinned bean salad (that’s actually more expensive than the mackeral sometimes!).

I prefer the Asda beans and DD likes the Sainsbury’s. We've had the Sainsbury’s version for years.

Recently found Asda's version of chocolate digestives. I might start doing what PP's DH has done which won't help my waistline 😬

Lidl ketchup is incredible

Oxtail
Lambs liver
Root veg
Soup
