[notthecod]

whicj brand do you think cannot be mathced by supermarkets own labels?
My suggeston
hellmans mayo

Go on, what happened?????

wellt here is a big conveyor belt of chips and the ones tat fall ont he floor are swept up and put into a dirty old skip type thing and used for paotato shapes and waffles

yum
delicioso

yyyyyyyyyyyyyukkkkk!

Medicines and tablets. Always check what the active ingredients are because you may be paying a lot of money just for the brand name. Like Calpol and paracetemol suspension are the same!! The latter being a LOT cheaper. I also had some anti-histimines this year for 95p from ASDA and they had EXACTLY the same ingredients as PIRITON that cost £3.75.

good tip
anyone else have inside knowledge about manufactureres?

I hear once that m ad s make up and skin care cant remember which range, was made by clinique

Boots also make Co-op own brand Pink healing ointment (germoline clone)

Somebody told me that the English biscuits in Lidl were made by McVitie - anyone heard this?

Weetabox may make the store brands but they taste worse than their own imo.

has to be birds eye frozen peas... dh didn;t believe me when i said they were the only acceptable frozen peas... then he bought (never should let him shop!) a HUGE bag of siansbury's frozen peas... which were fine but definitely not Birds Eye... even dd (who loves peas) commented that they weren't very nice...!!! that taught him!!!!

have to agree there

have to say snack-a-jacks, after buying a pack of sainsburys own brand last week. they were disgusting - like cardboard.

and it has to be heinz ketchup.

Agree Sainsburys peas crap but Tesco peas quite good actually.

Kayliegh, Snack a Jacks are like cardboard and disgusting anyway!

Yorkiegirl, are you on commission from Asda
I really need to get down there and stock up on choc yogs and own brand snack-a-jacks. Anything else I need ????!!!

Janh, glad to know i'm not the only one !

Frozen Yorkshire puds v good too, Kayleigh.

Tilda Basmati Rice
Heinz ketchup
Fruit and nut snack bars (there's an Australian brand which is delicious - macadamia and fruit?)

Fisil have you tried Jordans natural muesli - has very high raisin ratio so quite sweet!

thai curry paste
own brands are banal

Kellogs Bran Flakes
Heinz Ketchup
Cheerios
Hellmans Mayo
Coke
Pampers nappies

LOL see my aren't the new impoved pampers cr** thread LOLOLOLOL

Mcvities Rich Tea and Digestive biscuits I think are the only branded item I would always go for, oh and Pampers pull ups. Supermarkets apparently have 3or4 different levels of goods, ie. Heinz beans, supermarket means and economy beans. As shoppers we put ourselves into categorys and it makes us feel better and more luxurious if we are buying the upmarket brands, for instance you could buy Taste the Difference or economy stuff at Sainsburys. If your trolley is full of the upmarket stuff its meant to make you feel a bit more classy! I do buy both but have to say that if you stick to shops brands you save a fortune on a big shop. I was listening to Martin Lewis on Jeremy Vines show the other day and he suggested that if you drop just one level on certain products you can really reduce the weekly shop. Just thought of something else I cant skimp on though.....Andrex.
