Cheap stuff you like

A cheap favourite in our house are Warburtons Crumpets - usually £1 for a pack of 9

Make sure you get the 9pk though as they also come in a 6pk for practically the same price. 🤷‍♀️

I agree, I have the rose scented one and it's brilliant. Has lasted forever as you don't need much to get a good lather so value for money....so much so that I've got another shower gel open too as I get getting bored of the rose smell after weeks and weeks 😂



Oh yes, I love them!
I once mistook a bottle of the rose scented shower gel for a bottle of body lotion. It took me a few minutes to realise when the “lotion” wasn’t sinking in 😂

It did indeed smell gorgeous though.

I bought some cheap primer from the Nutmeg range at Morrison’s, and it’s amazing! It definitely has a skin softening and smoothing effect, it’s only a clear gel, it’s like magic!

Rimmel tiramisu is my favourite ,better than mac for the price !
I like Rimmel ‘Addiction’ - very similar to Charlotte Tilbury.

I think I saw it recommended on this thread as well: Lidl perfume called ‘Femelle’ is a cheap dupe for Lancôme ‘La Vie eat Belle’. It doesn’t last but it smells the same and is only £4.49.

I like the Revolution bronzer. I have a Chanel and Guerlain one, but I much prefer the Revolution one. It’s highly pigmented though, so you have to use the smallest amount. You get a big pan of the stuff, so it lasts forever. However the packaging sucks, and the lid snaps off from the bottom. You can still use but I wish they would make the hinge more robust. I am a fair skinned natural blond, with red undertones to my skin, and the Cool version is perfect for me.

That’s the thing about cheap makeup. The packaging often sucks. I used to often buy Revolution highlighters but never finish them, the kids break off first.

ETA lids not kids

I used to love St Moriz tanning foam & it was like £2 or £3 at bodycare & better than st tropez.

Maybeline Colorshow kohl eyeliner is an absolute bargain at £2.99 & in my opinion much better than any of the higher end counterparts.

I’m also a big fan of supermarkets own chocolate & cereals.

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.
 
The Aldi 'specially selected' chunky frozen chips are delicious and also the breakfast hash browns, they taste very similar to the McD hash browns.

I usually get mince, bacon etc. from Lidl as it's always a good price and there is always a good selection of large %s for the beef and pork mince to choose from, but I don't really buy chicken - though I've seen talk on the Lidl/Aldi threads that their chicken isn't that good quality.

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.
