tesco value what's good what's not?

[munz]

i'll start.

good:-

the wrapped biscuits/normal ones.
cloths
foil/clingfilm
butter/eggs for baking

bad:-

wipes (used for cleaning and were naff for that!)

please feel free to add. not only value but own brand as well.

Value Tinned Tomatoes are good

value

dish cloths
syrup pudding in a tin - the kids love them
cling film
foil
tinned peaches - DS loves them

own brand

high juice (squash)
custard - tin or those boxes you pour
rice pudding - tin of
sandwich cooked meats

I'm suprised about the value cling film. Wilkinsons own brand stuff is awful. It never tears off properly and you end up with one long thing scraggly bit.

The cheese is ok.

sorry should have added own brand:

beans
oils,
washing up liquid.
nappies not abd but are bulky I find - also wipes caused a nappy rash

is the value washing liquid/own brand powder any good does anyone know?

PM - we alwasy have the value foil/cling film and it's fab - apart form xmas when we get the bakofoil! lol.

jaffa cakes

Value range:

Good:
tinned tomatoes
toddler clothes
dish cloths
Kitchen roll
flour

Bad:
eggs (battery farmed)
baked beans

Own brand:

disposable nappies

I always buy the value butter for baking.
Crisps are good too and smaller packets so I don't feel too bad about DS2 having a packet.
Vegetables - like peppers and carrots if you don't care what they look like.
Clothes for childen - excellent.
Tinned chopped tomatoes and kidney beans.

Would steer clear of toiletries and cleaning products

Value range good
Kitchen Roll
Tinned Toms
Kidney Beans
Butter
Biscuits such as bourbons, and choclate coated digetives in wrappers.
Sparkling water

Own brand good

2in1 washing powder, and the bio/non/bio tablets or capsules. Ds1 has sensitive skin and this doesn't irritate it
Washing Up liquid
Toilet rolls
Bathroom Cleaner spray, and other cleaning things
Tin foil/cling film
Custard
Tinned Fruit
Tuna
Squash - Ds2 can have it,as opposed to Robinsons which sends him hyper

Value bad
beans
Wet wipes

this is fab guys, just thought of some more

value - pasta and spaghetti - the dried stuff, own brand is also good.

NOT the VALUE fishfingers

baby wipes not bad, but don;t pop up ....

little pots of kids' fromage frais are good

Is there actually any difference,apart from price between the Value and own brand ranges,in terms of taste and quality.Or is it purely a difference in labelling and price?Basically,is it the same product?

Sorry if that makes no sense

value
beans
tinned toms
veg like peppers,toms apples that are funny shapes r
foil
kitchen roll
toilet roll

own brand
pasta
sauces

value porridge.

guess it was a stupid question then!!!!!!!!

i use sainsburys basics
the baby bath is 49p as opposed to £1.99 for johnsons
the tinned tomatoes are i swear the best around - all tomatoe no juice
basics pasta etc - why ever not
I used to be a terrible snob but am learning fast that its not big or clever to be one!! Get down the value aisle - thats where the rich people chop

'shop!!'

noa-are you in supermarket PR?

no tier - it's not at all - that's my poitn on these threads - same as lidl etc I keep trying to tell DH they're the same inside just differnt packaging, but he won't beleive me

NAO - I love your thinking!

OK,you've convinced meI think!

You will have to excuse my dullard question!

I'm just trying to make an impression

not at all, all adds to each otehrs knowledge by asking questions

Lidls stuff isn't all the same in different apckaging, its German and some of it is rather nice german stuff too. Aldi si nicer though I think.
