to want to know who the fu*ck said sainsburys basic wine was nice?

[awomenscorned]

Because I have just opened a plastic bottle of it and its vile.

Go om own up you wanker

Well if you can call one bottle a session, I'll let you know tommorrow.

Nah, £5 on offer bottles for me from now on.

Caveat emptor!

And in this case, 'plastic bottle' and 'basic' practically SCREAM 'caveat' so YABU and foolish! Go and buy a decent bottle.

I'll stick to me Frosty Jack's ta.

One bottle is a session, if its a two litre plastic one! (well a session for one, one who wants an early night)

With you ice re the basics range in general, tis lovely although the 'aerosol' room freshner is pot luck, its either THE most beautiful room spray ever, or, on the next can smells like welly socks. Odd.

Aldi, so its gawjus russian roulette on the smellies?

Oh well no session here good job, with 3 dcs

You should give the Aldi one a try, i only every bought "Half price at £4.99" before I found that one!

bogey I'm scared now. hangs on to deal wine from sainsbob--

Smoked salmon trimmings for £1? Chocolate sponge pudding for 65p? Pancakes for 27p? 2l bottle of lemonade for 20p?

I can keep going for a loooong time. I am utterly evangelical about Sainsburys Basics.

Sorry

Salmon trimmimgs for £1. adds to list yum.

AWW Ice you're the woman who stole the last smoked salmon trimming from under my nose then?

We had guests, they wanted smoked salmon paté... I wasn't going to spend much as I don't much like them, because of you I ended up spending at least £2.99!!

I live on the basic smoked salmon... with lemon and removal of the 'bits wot can't be identified' its perfect.

(scuse any typos, not-so-stealth-boast at drinking rougly £1.23 of homebrew - daft grin and no school run in the morning, I'm ILL don't ya know)

Aldi. bits wot can't be identified. you have put me off.

Send me some homebrew pleeeeease.

why do you cook for people you are not keen on?

Aldi, I am more concerned that you a) had people you dont like much round for dinner and b)allowed them to dictate the menu! I would have given them mustard sandwiches and told them it was a poor mans hot dinner :o

Aldi toro loco red is about £3.49 I think, and is very nice.

They're DH's only old school friends, I pander to him, he makes the homebrew (and the bread!) its a fair deal I promise.

Plus when she said 'ooh we'd LOVE smoked salmon mousse' I thought ping I like them enough to spend a quid on (but slightly pissed off about the extra 2)

awomanscorned y'know, the grey bits, perfectly fine, and present on all whole fish, just cut off for the more expensive cuts... they're not like alien life forms or anything (I think).

Anyway, leaving this thread as people keep saying Aldi and I keep thinking its a personal recommendation. [egotrip]

Oh aldi I see, I don't mind those bits. Give and take, bread and home brew - fair deal.

aldi I took the trimmings out of tomorrows trolley! Snot my fault! DS will megastrop, but I will venture down to real live Sainsburys this week to see what they've got fishwise

The aldi toro loco was mentioned in the guardian I think.

You're all making me wish I lived near a sainsburys now with all the talk of basics smoked salmon trimmings.

I can recommend Tesco's Simply Chenin Blanc for a palatable white, although it's evidently on the steep side at £3.70 a throw.

£3.70????!!!!!!!!

Check out my profile pic Wellthats and tell me if you think I look like I am made of money?!!

FFS, I hate stealth boasting...

:O:O

:o even :o

I know, I just can't help shoving my smugtastically middle-class over-privileged entitled lifestyle in your face.

Perhaps you need telling that the difference between £2.99 and £3.70 to some women is the difference between crisps and no crisps!

It was MrsDeVere on the value range thread BUT I'm sure she said she has it with lemonade as a spritzer with ice-cubes in.

How's the basics hangover?
