The tesco value thread

[OpenToSuggestions]

As you all probably already know, tesco value gorceries are often (but not always) just rebranded expensive brands. For example, obviously there is no tesco value biscuit factory, it is just a factory elsewhere that they stopped the production line and changed the packaging.

I am feeling like a cheapskate (and a poor student) and want to save a little on the ever increasing price of food shopping.

I will start off, tesco value butter (the blocks) is just country life butter in a different wrapper.

So let OCUK know what tesco value foods are good

Their diet coke is pretty decent, at I think 20 something pence it's a steal.

I cant stand the value coke I hear the normal coke (37p one) is the same as pepsi though?? perhaps someone has both sorts at home and can do a test

Avoid tesco value sausages.....like the plague.

somewhere (no idea where) I heard that unless the sausage has over 40% pork then it is just a sausage, rather than a pork sausage.

I never ever buy sausages that are just 'sausages'.
