Cheap stuff you like

Lidl siempre tampons, 69p a box I think? Better than £2.99 for tampax

Not tried those, do they have applicators? I once tried Lidl for tampons but at the time could see none with applicators. I do love the Aldi tampons though, would not pay Tampax price at all.

Rustlers (the company who do the burgers) do pancakes with syrup which I quite like.

I love rustlers. They use to do a southern fried chicken sub and it was delicious.

So I rinse it every time with hot water after using, then wash every few days in with my other more delicate whites on 40 comes out perfect and fluffy!

Might try them out.

Can anyone recommend cheap but good makeup brands? I’m off to the dentist this afternoon in this heat and I want to make myself feel better

I find Natural Collection is pretty good and very cheap

Elbow Grease stuff for me.

The only thing I’ve found that gets stains out of cream carpets is elbow grease spray!

 

[Hope96]

Asda's smart price trifle pots.

Rice pudding but the 20p tins from Asda/Sainsbury's/Tesco (I'm not fussy )
I have the Tesco teabags that are,I think, 58p a box, well whatever they cost it's a bargain.
Aldi/Lidl versions of Mars/Snickers etc
Value chocolate, 30p a bar, love cheap chocolate

I love cheap rice pudding too.

I also think those 30p jars of salmon paste you can buy are way nicer than M&S salmon pate. I buy loads of them

I have just discovered these, the prawn cocktail are amazing.

And the cheese and chive!

Thank you to the poster for suggesting the la vie est belle dupe in Lidl- just picked it up £4.49 for 75ml and it smells gorgeous x

Thoughts and opinions on shein? I only ever heard bad quality reviews but a colleague (who never shuts up) was going on about it the other day and completely raved about it.

I love shein. I’m yet to get anything from it that is bad. Some really comfy tshirt dresses which are perfect for travelling. Their gym stuff is pretty decent too as are their hoodies. I have some really nice dresses from there too and they’ve washed so well
---

I have an elf primer, and a soft green eye pencil which I love … have given up the black eyeliner as this seems more flattering and easy to apply. All amazing prices, I watch sophdoeslife a lot on YouTube and she uses elf often.

I really do rate the primer myself, it’s better than some of the high end stuff I’ve bought in the past. I have their setting spray too which I bought to try as I normally use morphe or urban decay and have no complaints, it’s coconut smelling too so smells lovely

Definitely get the mascara. The black one with green writing. Makes your eyelashes so long and thick without clumps

Lash Princess? I love that one! X

Koka noodles - 45p!

Morrison's own brand white chocolate bars - so good!

 

[coconochanel]

I get my meat from any supermarket as most of them are priced matched. I also look out for reduced and then bag it up and freeze it.

Curly Wurly. Chocolate bars

It’s my favourite too - great volume and doesn’t clump, flake or smudge. I rarely try new makeup (had used Clinique High Impact for quite a few years) but I’m so pleased I had the impulse to try this one, given the ~90% savings. The only problem with it is it seems to be out of stock for long periods at a time.

Not sure how much it costs in store but I just ordered it on Amazon for £4.98. I love the lash princess one so excited to try this

Superdrugs vitamin E skincare/face range. Their hot cloth cleaner is a winner and gives some of the well known high end brands a run for there money. Comes complete with a muslin face cloth as well which is so nice and leaves your skin feeing soft but clean.

The Ordinary and The Inkey List are so reasonable for the price and have some gems in their lines - The Ordinary foundations being a fave, great selection of undertones and shades and looks flawless on! I also have their concealer and have about 5 different shades so I always have one that works for whatever im using it for

LA Colours make up - their lipgloss and liners are amazing for the price

NYX micro brow pencil - not *the*cheapest on the market but practically identical to the ABH brow wiz I used to swear by and for less money. It seems to last longer too

That Superdrug vitamin E range smells so good

I love wet n wild for eyeliners, cheap, cruelty-free and most things are vegan.

Can anyone recommend a cheap and decent clear lip gloss and setting spray at all pls

I used to use Collection 2000 - they’ve changed the packaging I’ve still got the stick version - somewhere!

I’m a big fan of a discontinued foundation by Rimmel which I can still get on eBay or at b&m for £3.99. I also swapped by eyebrow pencil from benefits (£20 a pop) to soap and glory at £10 And you get much more for your money too. The aldi dupe makeup is fab, the blusher has so much pigment!

Aldi washing tabs are also great, 3 in one and so much better than branded.
