Which cheap brands are worth twice the price?

[TheRealHousewife]

… flipped This thread. Thank you OP.

Branston baked beans = 45p

Elbow Grease All Purpose Degreaser/Cleaner = 99p

Both excellent and worth more imho

What’s your cheapo hero products

@IcedPurple

CeraVe.

All the products I've tried are great, and the cleanser is the absolute business. You can get a litre for about 19 quid and it lasts ages. Better than skincare brands several times the price.

I've been using their moisturiser with spf 25 and really like it.

This one?

www.superdrug.com/Skin/Face-Skin-Care/Moisturising-Lotions/CeraVe-AM-Facial-Moisturiser-SPF25---Normal-to-Dry-Skin-52ml/p/774871

I also use it and find it great. It was on offer on Amazon a few weeks ago so I made sure to get in some supplies!

@IcedPurple Yes, that’s the one. Find it just as good as more expensive brands and it protects too so winner!

Thank you for the nod @mcmooberry about Lidl cream cheese and @Cottoncandyandpeaches for the Wilko mascara 👍

Lidl spaghetti - 39p for 500g. I eat spaghetti 2-3 x a week at least and it is honestly up there. I would have no budget for the right spaghetti - and this, fortunately, is it.

Anyone know of any reasonably priced gluten free pasta … always so expensive!

Aldi's chocolate oaties are as nice as, if not nicer than, Hobnobs.

i love lidls fake twix and their fake mars bars, both are superior than the branded, normal twix tastes stale in comparrison.

I get it in Tesco and Asda - not found any cheaper, really. I like the Tesco lentil fusilli but that's gone up a lot in the last year.

Thank you @SpindleWhorl.

Sainsbury’s own brand cola zero it’s recently gone down in price to just 39p and I can not taste the difference between this and Coca Cola Zero!

Lidl fake Bounty is better than the real one.

Morrison's do good gluten free pasta, normally around 60p

@TheSpottedZebra

Aldi hot cloth cleanser.

Thank you for this, I was thinking about an alternative to Liz Earle, so will give it a try 😊

Aldi premium washing up liquid- much better than the branded stuff

@SticksAndStoned

Was also going to suggest pink stuff. I was completely astonished at how easily it cleaned my oven door. Brilliant stuff.

Which shop sells this please ?

@SunshineCake I used to get it in Wilkos. Now love in northern Ireland and have no idea where to find it. It's honestly magic!!

I get it in home bargains

Brilliant, thank you. I'll try it.

Lidl club style biscuit bars (in the purple wrapper)- chocolate on them is delicious. Lso lidl brand fruit pastilles! Second Nicky Elite toilet roll. Great quality.

I moaned about heinz beans on the other thread. I completely agree with branston beans on this one

@DulseSeaweed you get the pink stuff in Home Bargains in NI

Definite thumbs up for pink stuff. It’s mint.
The inside of my front door is gleaming white. Had marks on that I couldn’t shift before, but no effort involved with pink stuff.

Pink Stuff - a miracle in a tub

Garnier gradual self tan - absolutely brilliant on my chalk white legs

Redken anti snap leave in treatment - it’s pricey (to me) at £18 on Amazon but easily worth double that - best thing I’ve ever used on my hair

Love this thread

I NEED Boots to bring back Boots Curl Cream - I would pay a lot of money for this tub of pink goo.
