Cheap stuff you like

Where do people buy meat from? Chicken Breast, Thigh Fillets, Lean Mince etc? I need to re-fill my freezer and wondering where is the best for price but also quality.

I have a delivery saver from Tesco - the cheaper version that includes delivery Tues-Thurs.
I get all my meat from there, many items are price matched against Aldi now.

Tu clothing. I am a former clothes horse, I used to go to Oxford Street every Friday. I used to spend a lot of money on clothes per month. But I have fallen out of love with shopping so TU clothing, which I pick up with a big shop in Sainsbury’s, is all I seem to wear these days. Shops like M&S have dumbed down their quality so I don’t think I am missing out. (I occasionally buy something in an independent shop but I just can’t be arsed these days in schlepping to shops whose offerings are badly made and expensive). Their t-shirts are cheaper and better quality than M&S. Never in a million years would I think that I would be buying most of my wardrobe from Sainsburys.

Agreed. Tu is good quality, and every month or so, there seems to be a 25% off week, which is when I tend to pick stuff up.

Thanks, I’m a Tesco shopper too, just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing somewhere but just getting my usual deliveries - thanks

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

Is it any good at holding the hair in place, please?

Hi yes, you can do a style build up a few layers of spray and it will last all evening (on my hair type at least).

The innocent smoothie cartons are on special in Tesco at mo. 2 packs or €6. They are so yummy, still kinda pricey but worth it.

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.

Chicken curry in a can is actually really nice, if you're just cooking for yourself it's cheaper than making from scratch or getting a chilled/frozen ready meal, and the chicken is really soft and flaky like it's been done in a slow cooker

Bestmeat.co.uk have some brilliant offers. I've been using them for a monthly order for about 6 months now, no issues at all & great quality. All delivered fresh & I fill the freezer up.

I sometimes eat this stuff cold out of the can in my tent at festivals when I'm too hungover to drag myself out to find food . Goes down OK in the circumstances. I imagine it's way better heated with some cheese grated in.

Aldis fruit and fibre cereal- way better than kellogs!

No one else in my family touches the stuff and i’m glad more for me . I also eat a bit cold whilst waiting for it to heat up.

Cross & Blackwell All Day Breakfast in a tin.

Most of my family think I'm disgusting but I love it.

I don't eat that much meat, I love it but I was also pescaterian for years (for ethical reasons) so if I do buy it I try to buy free range etc (in general, not always tbh) but i LOVE the heinz baked beans with sausages in them, I hadn't had them in about 20 years, saw them in a supermarket on sale and bought them. now I love them
