In the cost of living crisis, things have increased in price, while value, quality and quantity has diminished...

So what do you think is worth buying, worth the investment in thew tough times items can be cheap or expensive, but must at least good quality...

For example m&s baked beans 50p a tin, cheap, but tastes better than more expensive brands.

Fairy washing up liquid is more expensive but lasts long and is overall better economy

We don't keep Fruit or veg in the bags that they came in, open and put them in a bowl for fruit or fridge for veg and they are fine. They sweat and purtify in a bag, it's also not natural for fruit and veg to be in a plastic bag x

@HopeSpringsInfernal I agree with the l'occitane shower oil it's divine. I would never have bought it myself, it was a suprise gift, but I'll buy it from now on. It doesn't lather up like shower gel but it's so soft and smells amazing.

I can't tell a difference between lurpak and own brand butter. Don't understand the hype over fairy liquid either. And I love cheap chocolate more than expensive ones! I ask for dairy milk or galaxy at Christmas and birthdays rather than fancy chocolates. 😂

The only food item that I will spend more on is meat and fish for the quality. Nothing worse than cheap meat.

Use the oil with a shower puff and it lathers up really well
