Cheap stuff you like

Hopefully, I won't get bashed too much for this one, but my Amazon Prime membership, great value and since I've had it, I wouldn't be without it.

Cheap jaffa cakes are better than branded jaffa cakes. The cheaper the better!

Pasta 'n' Sauce, especially the cheese and broccoli and mac & cheese ones and heinz tinned ravioli are cheap crappy processed foods I probably eat far too much of but I love them.

Aldi's rip of off Nutella tastes exactly the same as the branded version and when my daughter sees the nutella advert she says "we've got that " cause the packaging is almost identical

Just found this thread so apologies if it’s been asked before - but recommendations on just a plain white tshirt bra please? I’m a 34F and it seems mission impossible to find them in my size in most high street shops!

I’ve had a few decent bras from Asda (I’m the same size), they were 2 for £10. Nothing fancy but they do the job

lidls own version of philidelphia ,the full fat version ,is better than philidelphia imo!

I think a lot of things are very much psychological, I remember some food show on channel 4 or bbc where they blind tested people to judge what was the cheap, middle or expensive brands of food and so many people were 100% sure something tasted chsap/expensive and were almost always wrong

I would happily take lidl chocolate digestives over Mcvities any day !.

Boots Everyday Coconut and Almond conditioner is really really good, silicone free and 75p for a big bottle. A friend recommended it to me and I thought it would be crap but I was impressed.

I've just checked out our local college... Can't believe how cheap the treatments are! Facials start from £5, even the fancy ones are only £10, massages the same. I may have to try it out.

I used to work at such a college, I believe the low pricing is to cover cost and to book a certain number of clients so students have enough opportunity to do the treatments/hairstyles a certain number of times to meet their course objectives and gain experience. Definitely worth checking out, and at the college I was at, there was always supervision so it’s not as risky as you would think. We often saw the same faces come back, and then they would also come back to the student restaurant for lunches and dinners, as we also had catering courses.

anything superdrug own brand. it's all cruelty free (yay), cheap as fuck, much of it vegan and the scents they have are so lovely. bodywash, skin and hair care, dental stuff. even cotton buds etc - would defo recommend

i think Superdrug is really under rated, they do nhs discount too as well as in the nail/eyebrow bar

Cheap tortilla crisps like the unbranded, white bag material, 40p a bag

I wish aldi would come out with a rip off of reggae reggae sauce and call it Reginald reggie sauce.

 

[Kim Mild]

They've done so for over 2 decade though. This has been since early 2000s in my memory, not a new thing.

It's always been Wilko that sold it round our way . Well until they closed.

I bought one of these microfibre face cloths last week from Superdrug and they are unreal! So soft and thick, and SO much better than the Elemis and Elizabeth Arden cloths I’ve used in the past! And only £1.49!

Tesco fig and mulberry candle, only cost €2.50 and it smells divine. Scent throw is better than the €20 yankee candle version too!

Been using this for a bit, my lips got all flaky back along and my usual lip balm wasn’t cutting it.

W7 Sweet Dreams Lip Scrub & Overnight Lip Mask Duo - 2 Piece Gift Set - Strawberry Flavour - Exfoliate, Condition, Soothe & Hydrate https://amzn.eu/d/1q8vNdO

Also comes in Blueberry “flavour”.

Currently £5.00. They come together in a box too so would be a nice little gift. Glass pots too.

Popcorn. It's even cheaper if you buy the kernels and make it yourself

Wilko's own brand bathroom foam cleaner is amazing. I use it on everything and it only cost me 25p
Aldi baby wipes
Sainsbury's Red Label tea bags are the best.


Their £2.99 jar candles are better than Yankee in my opinion.

100% better than Yankee Candles. My mum buys me the big Yankee jars for Christmas and black smoke smoke bellows out of them.

 

[TheScarletgirl]

Own brand ketchup is so much better and cheaper than Heinz ketchup.
Sainsburies instant chicken noodles are delicious and much cheaper than Pot Noodles and Batchelors brand.

I agree on ketchup but Heinz Mayo is something i can't negotiate on.

Lidl W5 washing up liquid is great, the green one particularly.
