Cheap stuff you like

Asda cheap copies of supernoodles are nice
Agree on whoever said Asda bras, I rarely buy mine from anywhere else anymore as they're never as comfy!

Aldi’s seal bars are one of my favourite fake names (penguin bar dupe)

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)

Iceland's takeaway style pizzas

7th Heaven/Montague Jeunesse face masks and hair masks (especially the honey hair mask)

20p dried spaghetti/pasta (supermarket basic ranges)

Tesco cherry cola and Morrisons Dr. Pop

Tinned potatoes

I bloody love Iceland. I refuse to hear a bad word about it!

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!

Ooh really? I love that perfume! I’ll have a look for it, what’s it called please x

Hello it’s called Femelle! They do a men’s one that’s meant to be sauvage but i don’t remember the name. They usually have samples out so test them and see what you think. I don’t like the one that’s a dupe of a Chanel one as it’s so strong and really clings on!

I raise you Sainsbury’s own brand 50p it’s so good and no palm oil in it

I love the fake names the supermarkets use

There’s a tik took account that takes the piss out of Aldi’s names.
Hi do you sell after eights?
No sorry we do have before 7’s though?

I rate Aldi’s Carlos’s range so much. The garlic bread, dippers and cookies are so good. My toddler loves their chocolate buttons.

The garlic dip is so good!
I love Aldi candles, there Yankee candle and jo malone dupes are great. They have a huge 2kg on special buys right now which is a dupe for the big jo malone one, it’s £25.

Aldi food is really good, cheap and tasty.
Poundland have really good stationery and half the price of Paperchase.
Primark are great too, makeup/skincare, clothes and homeware.

Stationery is so expensive these days! I’ll be sure to check out poundland for some, thanks.

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.

 

[holliebollie]

I love the little pots of instant mash you get in B&M- think they’re about 39p?! Add water and leave for a bit like a pot noodle…sprinkle some salt and mix in butter and cheese

Here’s a confession! I love them too! I buy a few each month and serve them with my toddlers tea. He loves mashed potato and I bleeping HATE making it. I mix in a bit of mustard and butter.

 

[Wackie Jeaver]

Iceland is absolutely the dogs' balls.

Also, you cannot beat a cheap chip shop sausage - give me one of those over a poncy Toulouse style one any day!

 

[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.

I do have a secret soft spot for really low budget, low class chocolate biscuits like Penguins and Clubs.

You need to try even ‘lower class’, Aldi seal biscuits
