Cheap stuff you like

[Marcinabolan]

Aldi’s Vive lemonade is better than Sprite and Schweppes I think, it’s super tasty and about 40p for a 2 litre bottle! It’s my go to lemonade instead of the more expensive brands and tastes amazing when you mix it with cordial.

I love Boots own shower gels; zingy lime & zingy lemon - 75p and just as good as Original Source. Also adore Primark lip pencils for a quid- I stock up when in the UK as we don't have Primark here . Getting jealous seeing the Aldi recommendations as we don't have one here- or Asda, Sainsbury & Home Bargains which I miss immensely!

Asda £4 t shirt bras are excellent - comfy and they wash well and you can replace them when needed

Aldi baby wipes are the best ones I’ve used - I’ve tried them all and Aldi ones win hands down

also, Tesco toilet cleaner is brilliant and something ridiculous like 40p!

Asda bras are amazing!!!

I’ve used Nivea extra gentle eye make up remover for years. It’s around £4 but is almost always on offer for under £3 a bottle. My daily skincare is Elemis but the only eye make up remover I’ll use is Nivea. Love it!

Just nipping in here for the bargains
I like the cheapest toilet roll, it's that thin it doesn't clog the toilet when the kids use 20 sheets to dab a dribble

Aldis moisturisers and face wash dupes are pretty good!!

Aldi white chocolate and coconut ice cream lollies (think they're called Praline Chocsticks or something like that). Amazing! So much coconut in them. I agree with Aldi's skincare too, really good and not just for the price, really good in general!

I also love Young's frozen fish pies, especially the Admiral's pie. Usually about £1/£1.50 and so tasty.

Came here to say that Tesco humidity resistant hairspray is amazing at only £1.40

 

[Captainmouse]

I love them. The cheese and onion and prawn cocktail are nicer than Walkers. The salt and vinegar ones are a bit mild though.

Most crisps are better than walkers

This stuff is amazing I’ve managed to pick it up for 89p a tub. It cleans everything. Much better than the Pink Stuff (in my opinion).

I used to be able to get it in B&M’s and Savers, but haven’t seen it for a while so bulk bought online.

Idk if it's available in the UK (I live in Spain), but there's a hand cream I get that's less than 2 euro by Instituto Español and it has urea in it. It's the only thing that can cope with my season eczema, and it even gets rid of my cuticles, too, so bonus

 

[Kate1970]

I love the fake names the supermarkets use

 

[sevcive]

Amazon unbranded clothes.

Good quality but I do have a guilty feeling supporting the corporate monster. The more they lure you in, the more they're destroying other businesses.

It's looking like they use analytics to gauge which items are selling the best via Prime etc and then make their own versions.

 

[HowlOwl]

I'm not massively brand loyal so I'm always willing to try own brand stuff over the brands (with the exception of a few things like ketchup and shampoo/conditioner etc).

Asda cheap beans are far better than Heinz, which are gross in comparison.
Asda/Aldi own brand squash tastes better than Robinsons
Aldi skincare is fab for the price
I agree cheap jam tastes no different to branded stuff
Asda fabric softener, smell lasts much longer than when I was using lenor!
Aldi loo roll, like £2 something for a pack of 9! So much cheaper than branded and it's not bad quality either.

Yes I love Aldi’s skin care, Lacura, such good quality for the price. I also always buy whatever is on offer face cream-wise (Olay or L’Oreal) in Home Bargains.

 

[HowlOwl]

Bit of a random one, but I still like burning aromatherapy oils, dropped into water with a tea light underneath? So much nicer than a Glade Plug In etc and a little goes a long way. I have no idea if these are fashionable or whatever, maybe old hippyish, but I love them. (Joss sticks, not so much!)

 

[caterday28]

Cheap milk chocolate is lush. Lidl, i'M LOOKING AT YOU.

 

[Boadicea1]

Asda's own version of After Eights are really good. Nice chocolate to mint ratio.

You can't seem to get After Eights at one pound anymore and they're nearing to three pounds in a lot of shops. Spending a pound again is quite nice.

 

[GreenEyedStorm]

I love cheap crisps! They’re always extra vinegary and crunchy- cheap but oh so delicious!

 

[realhousewivewannabe]

I love Iceland and Aldi for food! Aldi do a nice coconut and vanilla popcorn which is a dupe for propercorn and Only 55p

Poundland and Savers for toiletries, medicines (paracetamol, antihistamine,plasters) stationary, cards and gift wrap, batteries, floss, fake nails, lashes especially Ferne McCann range however it’s increased by 50p onto each product which is annoying and works out expensive I could have had 3 extra products with that money . Also love their baby cotton wool pads etc. I always buy work snacks, crisps and cereal for Poundland. I bought 10 sachets of Quaker Oats for £1 there yesterday.
I buy aveeno and cordosyl products from savers. 3.99 instead of 7!

I also recently found the pep and co range in Poundland and whilst I love primark for clothes, make up,fake nails. I picked up some black leggings and they’re fab quality.

35p spicy noodles from home bargains are so much nicer than bachelors super noodles
