Usually for the food shopping I get the shops brand that's so much cheaper, somtimes I don't feel there's a difference in it, we get the 28p jam an it tastes as good as any other jam lol

Also like the cheap colouring books off amazon, some are so pricy like the johanna basford, I do have some but ive found even the cheap books that's under £5 have just as many images an are just as nice to colour

Not sure if it would be considered cheap but I love primark pj's, I take them over anywhere else, would much rather pay around £10 for the ones out primark than almost double from next or somewhere, same with their plain tees an jeans, most my clothes are now primark lol

I always go up a size as their clothes shrink. Up 2 sizes in pyjamas if you like them looser anyway.

Costco Kirkland towels are absolutely fabulous- I have a few sets and they’ve washed so much better than the white company ones we also have.

I used to buy Kirkland shampoo to use as shower gel until the price went up enormously. A girl I know fell out with me about it as she was paying £15 for this shampoo from the hairdressers! 😁

I've recommended Amazon Basics microfibre fitted bedsheets before, so luxurious and soft.

Well now I'm back to also shout out the Amazon Basics microfibre pillowcases. Smooth and soft to touch, they 'feel' way more expensive than they actually are lol.

If you have a Sainsburys near you that does cooked pizza they are delicious, around £5 and much much better than Dominos or Papa John

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

St Moriz fake tan. It’s around £2.99 from Home Bargains. I think I’ve been using it for about 12 years now.

Zoflora scent boosters from Savers. So much cheaper than Lenor and Unstoppables but they smell incredible.

Aldi’s £1.99 face cream in the white tub.

Wilko’s Essence Lash Princess mascara for £3.30. I have swapped my trusty Roller Lash for this now.

I love boujee candles, but I cannot justify spending €100 on fancy candles. BUT I discovered a hidden gem when a friend told me that M&S was selling candles with "Aēsop vibes". It's called 'Restore' and the large 3 wick version is about €20. I've had a few people over to my place, complimenting the scent (someone even asked "What's that nice spa smell??" lmao). I bought it using my Sparks card and got 20% off. Cannot recommend enough. I know it's not that cheap, but I honestly think it's designer boujee candle vibe, but at quite a reasonable price.

Oooo this looks lovely! I love TK Maxx/Homesense for a candle but they've put their prices up to probably the same as this for a 3 wick candle.

This looks a good Christmas gift for friends who like fancy candles too 👌🏻

I have that candle - it was bought for me as an Xmas gift last year and I absolutely love it. I have it on my kitchen island and it looks v classy and much more expensive than it actually is.

Not fun, not glamorous, but I bought this gigantic 10kg tub of catering suppliers dishwasher detergent a year ago and it's still going strong:

We Can Source It Ltd - Dishwasher Powder for Cleaning Dishes - Dishwasher Detergent Powder Tub - 10kg : Amazon.co.uk: Grocery

We Can Source It Ltd - Dishwasher Powder for Cleaning Dishes - Dishwasher Detergent Powder Tub - 10kg : Amazon.co.uk: Grocery
amzn.eu

IIt appears that its gone up in price by £10 since I last bought it and I haven't shopped around for a better price (yet). I'll happily pay the new price if I have to though.

Every now & then I fill up an old Finish bottle with the pouring spout from the bucket and keep that in the kitchen cupboard and the bucket is in storage.

It's a really good cleaner, saves buying smaller bottles more often (heavy, extra packaging), and I'll get a handy lidded bucket at the end of it 👍

Sounds amazing!
I thought that company rang a bell! I have been using their bath cleaner for decades. I buy it from Lakeland and it lasts.

Oh! I thought of another - I now exclusively buy Lidl or Aldi instant coffee (I actually think they're exactly the same coffee) and have been for a couple of years. The Columbian one with the slightly snazzy label (comes in another kind I forget. They're not terribly different).

My preference used to be Douwe Egberts but would only buy it on offer. I'd also go for Kenco and other brands on offer, but never a Nescafe Gold or anything like (tastes like village hall coffee imo). I'd always assumed that any coffee from Lidl/ Aldi would be garbage, but it's my very favourite now.

Least worst and most affordable instant coffee!

Aldi does really decent coffee beans, better than some branded stuff (Segafredo sometimes tasted like cigarettes to me) and costs less.
