Supermarket own brands

POSTED BY: Emma-lee 2 months, 2 weeks ago

Hey,
Just looking through my fridge as have the munchies and realised that nearly everything is supermarket own brand. Has anyone else changed to basic stuff? To be honest before i was a bit of a snob and wouldn't by own brand stuff but i don't really notice the difference anymore - veg, orange juice (smooth hate the bits!), lemonade, bread etc. The only thing i wouldn't compromise on is chocolate - galaxy and teabags - tetley. Anyone got any good tips for reducing the shopping budget?

Only buy organic, non processed or home grown stuff. Steer clear of juice too unless it organic as I hate preservatives in food.

Thats fair enough, your entitled to your own choice. I've just noticed that i've had to be a bit more choosey of late. I found that each week stuff got more and more expensive. I know credit crunch yawn yawn, i'm bored of it too.

I agree. The cheap bread is like sandpaper. I refuse to touch the stuff - just not nutricious!

where do you shop?
Here there and everywhere, I live in Newcastle so have the pick of most supermarkets on route or within walking distance. Like Sassie i buy the stuff on offer, gives a bit of variety too, or for some stuff like i said have moved down to own brand stuff. Tend to shop around, and buy as i need, proabably not the best bet to be honest.

yes ive noticed too, believe me, but i cannot eat the stuff, maybe if i had nothing else and was absolutely starved then maybe i would, like i said would rather have half a nice meal then a whole gopping one
