Things that are still unbelievably cheap ....!

[inkyfingers]

A little ray of sunshine in your life . Basics sparkling water 16p for 2 litres! Less than a second class stamp. Basics lemons and you have cloudy lemonade.

[toptramp]

12 eggs for 85p in Lidl! 6 organic free range eggs for 85p again in Lidls!

[Curiousmama]

I'd say that's a bargain WG.

You save loads cooking from scratch.

[WhollyGhost]

I read that as "dp gets staff dizzy" [hgrin]

My latest bargain was butternut squash for 59p at Aldi


it is not something I usually buy, so I've no idea if that is cheap, but one squash made delicious risotto and lots of soup, so provided two days worth of food.

[Curiousmama]

Seems Sainsbury's is where it's all happening?

We usually shop at Morrison's as dp gets staff dissy. But think it may be worth detouring for some things?

[LidlVoice]

Sainsbury's FAIR TRADE, yes FAIR TRADE tea bags (basics range) 80 for 30p!

[Confuseddd]

Ooh and 44p fig rolls from Sainsburys :)

[Confuseddd]

39p porridge oats from Lidl - made porridge, bircher muesli and flapjacks - lovely!

Also boots Coconut and Almond shampoo and conditioner - 92p each - smells nice and does the job.

second own brand painkillers - miles cheaper and just as effective
Sainsbos own brand ketchup is pennies and DCs didn't notice any difference
Aldi washing up liquid and washing powder tabs are fine
Asda own brand plain biscuits(digestives, rich tea, jaffa cakes etc) are all ok

[PipPipPip]

• The library
  
• Own-brand painkillers. 1p per paracetemol!
  
• Stuff being given away on Freecycle
  
• I (personally) think newspapers are great value

[BettyCash]

Oop sorry - spag's 18p a packet.

[BettyCash]

Tesco spaghetti

Eat it with butter and salt & pepper
Or oil and garlic and chilli flakes.

No nutritional value, but totally yum.

[TheArmadillo]

Iceland do
4pts milk £1
loaf of bread (usually warburtons or kingsmill) £1
6 large free range eggs £1
12 chicken oxo cubes 65p
really nice properly mature cheddar (wyke farm vintage) 300g £2 (I am fussy about cheese)
1lt ribena £2

Asda (smart price range) do
passata (500g) 25p
pasta (either penne or spaghetti) 500g for 18p
Their smart price mature cheddar is one of the nicest mature cheddars I've found regardless of price

Wilkinsons
kitchen roll 4 pack 97p
anitbac wipes around £1 per pack (about 80 in them iirc)

Sainsburys
basics yoghurts 4 pack (2 peach & 2 strawberry) 35p and actually nice unlike the asda equivilent which are vile.

I still think bread is dead cheap, not just the value 49p/loaf range (this is wholemeal, I imagine white bread can be a lot cheaper). But the 74p stuff we buy.
25 kg bags of spuds, still very good value.

[serin]

Eggs, 15 for £1.99 free range in Aldi.

Sainsbo's cheap ketchup about 23p for a bottle. I actually prefer it to Heinz.

[BleurghUna]

Part-baked bread always seems way cheaper than normal bread. Can't work out why. And has a long shelf life, good for when you've run out.
Tomato puree - goes a long way if you dilute it, much cheaper than passata.
Frozen peas - to get the same amount of fresh peas would cost about £13.95.
Frozen sweetcorn. In fact most frozen veg.
Smoked mackerel and kippers.
Tinned tomatoes - cheaper than fresh and more tasty
Oven chips.
Sacks of potatoes - use the large ones for baking, don't buy special "baking" potatoes.

[Maarias]

Yep, I'm definitely off to Sainsburys!;))

[NotAnotherNewNappy]

DD and I are loving rice crispie and conflake cakes. Made with sainsbury's basics milk chocolate (100g), basics cereal (75g), basics butter (50g) and golden syrup or honey (2 tbsp)they work out at about 75p for 12

[Champagnevanity]

As a student, i have loads of these...

I had a friend who pretty much lived off sainsburys £10p noodles which to say they were actually pretty good.

Sainsburys/Asda own brand Pasta, 30p a bag, - absolutely fine.

I dont like bread much tbh, but when i did buy it, it was the 40p basics bread to freeze, and for toast, yet again tasted fine.

Yet again i second the Garlic bread, was lovely, specially for about 40p.

You might think this is disgusting, but.... Sainsburys do basics 75p ready meals, and they were lovely! I didnt eat them that often due to having alot of sat fat, but for 75p. What a bargain!

[GertieGuineaPig]

Would have said coconut bars at Morrisons that were 18p two weeks ago - lovely they were just like the inside of a Bounty bar - BUT the robbing bast**ds have put the price up to 35p - virtually double!!!!! how can they justify that??? Someone I know who works there said the offers are so good because they are constantly increasing the price of the basics and hoping you won't notice, well I bloody noticed the price of these coconut bars increasing . That's it I've had a good moan now

[vickibee]

tesco value tinned spagetti @ 14p . love it on toast

[SootySweepandSue]

Tiny packs of Haribo for 10p. Either Tangfastics or StarMix. Who needs the calories in the big bags anyways?

[inkyfingers]

fluffycloud I don't know - how much are you paying for it?

[ApplesinmyPocket]

Tesco Value shower gel - 8p this week (down from 10p!) I really like it for everyday use or for refilling liquid soap dispensers, nice light fragrance, doesn't bring on my eczema.
