Cheap stuff you like

[Gidget00_]

Tesco version of snickers bars. They are so nice, and so cheap, but taste just like a snickers.

 

[Punchface]

M&S tomato ketchup, 65p. You’re welcome

 

[Penguinfeet]

Superdrugs Me+ skincare range is the bomb and so reasonable. Their hyaluronic acid booster and BHA toner are fantastic.

I love Lidl Freeway soft drinks, especially the Zero Coke.
Actually, all my shopping is almost exclusively Lidl store brand items. Except for anything by Ferrero Kinder, all the copycat stuff is nowhere near as nice imo. The Aldi "Bueno" chocolate bar is close though.

Aldi Pringles > actual Pringles.

Derma V10 hand cream you can get in Savers for 99p, better than e45 cream in my opinion. Also, Lidl do a dupe of Aveeno hand cream which is also good.

Wickford and co wax melts from Home Bargains are strong scented and only about 79p.

Aldi Lime, Basil & Mandarin Candle

Dunelm's Egyptian cotton towels are lovely and thick.

Barry M "Gelly" nail polishes are really good and look like gel polish without needing a lamp, etc. to dry them (which is bad for you anyway, it's basically like putting your hands under a sunbed!) They are £3.99 each so a lot cheaper than Essie, OPI etc. that also have gel ranges

Morrison’s cheap 33p washing up liquid is 100x better than Fairy and I’m usually a brand shopper.

Sainsburys own brand is good too.

Aldi washing pods. I've had branded and can't tell the difference.

Sainsburys underwear isn't too bad either.

The best instant tan ever -

Fairy bread - Australian kids party food.
Cheapest white bread, butter and sprinkles (hundreds and thousands) all over it!
I still make it sometimes now!

When I was at primary school we had an Australian girl join our class and she told me about fairy bread, I asked my mum to make it for me and she refused totally forgot about it until now so will make it for myself and see what I have or have not been missing all these years

I really like the Amazon Basics range, here's some of my favourites:

- Microfiber fitted bed sheets (I paid €8 for a double bed sheet).. they feel luxurious, hotel like quality - nothing basic about them
- Memory foam bathroom mat (€10)
- AA Batteries.. I bought a 48 pack of AA batteries for €11!! Same quality as Durcacell too
- HDMI cables, extensions cords etc.. always top quality

Other cheap things/dupes I like:

- For any Irish tattlers, Dunnes Stores candles are the BEST. I bought a 3 wick Jo Malone dupe for €5 and smells just like the real deal. I'm not mad on the Aldi Jo Malone candle dupes, but their hotel collection reed diffusers are very good and super long lasting
- Zara perfumes. I'm wearing Apple Juice right now, smells just like Chanel eau fraiche
- Primark: Stick on nails, cleansing pads, beauty blenders, cosy socks
- Tesco own brand enchiladas kit (wayyy better than Old el Paso), Tesco Finest earl grey tea (don't let the 'finest' part fool you, a box is €2.. at least €3 cheaper than every other earl grey else on the shelf)

I have done that, out of the tin - it’s the only way! Don’t get me started on tinned rice pudding (Ambrosia) and custard!

Ambrosia rice pudding is my favourite food if I’m not feeling right. But I add some tinned carnation milk to make it creamier/sweeter.

 

[Beaversabout]

-Fabulosa laundry cleanser & disinfectant. Rainbow and pornstar martini smells amazing.
-Primark fake nails
-Poundshop: Maybelline lipsticks
Ferne mccann range, the lashes and the pink mini perfume. It smells so good!
Bacon rasher crisps.
-Rainbow cookies.

For perfume I prefer the Islamic oil dupes, I usually get them from Ebay, Al Azeera is the usual brand I get and its really cheap. The oil versions are so much stronger and longer lasting than the real deal!

Cheap garlic bread from Sainsburys, 2 baguettes for 65p Stamford St Food Company I think some of their own brand foods are under.

I prefer the own brand tinned Tuna too. It's nice and flakey how I like it.

I had my Garlic Bread subbed at Tesco the other Day. And I think i'm sticking with the sub as delicious was Hearty Food twinpack garlic baguette 75p.

 

[Penguin2022]

M&S cleaning products are really good and very competitively priced. Just got the dishwasher tablets and they are only £3.50 a bag and way better than any of the ten quid a bag branded stuff.

Also the Green Tea and Jasmine disinfectant smells way better than Zoflora and is a massive bottle for £3.

I gave their stain remover wipes a try and they’re a dream! £1.30 for a pack I think but got pen stains out of my cushions beautifully

Koka noodles - 45p!

definitely can second this, and easy to make a great meal with , just add some frozen veg, maybe an egg
