Think of something of the same consistency, that poor people make in abundance and probably enjoy making. Add a dash of perfume and away you go.

I think the clue may be in the price.

A lot of 'value' items are exactly the same as full price ones some are even made in same factories just go into different packets... other things are not worth buying value.... sausages come to mind quickly.

Happened to spot 10p shower gel in Sainsburys a wee while ago funnily enough. May be they are indeed carp, but then again don't a lot of things' price depend on the label? eg. Tesco cola costs 10p to produce a bottle, sell it for 20p. Coca Cola costs 10p to produce a bottle, sell it for £1.50

Sainsbury's do packs of 4 tootbrushes for 52p, which I thought was cheap until I saw their basics brand - 2 toothbrushes for 10p!

Nothing in any supermarket is good value.
They should all be closed down, the **ing, profiteering cartel of goat-necked barstads.

basic ranges just highlight how cheap stuff actually cost to produce, more expensive products are pitched at the market place rather than the cost to purchase.

I'd avoid any 'value' meat produce, otherwise everything else seems to be ok (beer aside)

Being a vegetarian for most of my life I consider myself something of a connoisseur when it comes to frozen peas; taste, size, shape, nothing escapes my hawklike scrutiny.

Imagine my amazement, therefore, to discover that Tesco's own brand variety (competitively priced at eighty-nine pence) are identical in every way to Birds Eye peas costing three times as much.

PM, I can recommend Tesco's frozen Petit Pois. Currently on offer at £1.50 for 1kg.
The nicest frozen peas I've tasted.

Also, Tesco's frozen 'Very Fine Whole Green Beans' are about the best frozen veg I've ever had. Only £1 for a 1Kg bag. Excellent value.

Thanks Tom. :)

Yorky: I'm a vegetarian purely on moral grounds so I'm highly unlikely to revert back.

I do also happen to believe my diet is far healthier as a vegetarian, but that is just a happy bonus.

They're superb, PM - and I'm not really into frozen veg.

While I'm at it (on a different track, though) I've been having 'Tescos 4 Oat Top Wholemeal Deli Rolls' lately, 79p for 4.
Lovely bread. You might like them.
By:

When: 22 Jan 10 00:32
I'd definitely like them Tom, I'm a huge consumer of bread. Bordering on gluttonous to be honest.

I had a meal from Tesco this evening as it happens. Two sag aloo gobis (priced at one pound each) and a tub of pilau rice (seventy-five pence).

Pilau rice is, traditionally, not vegetarian as it is supposed to be cooked in meat juices. Beware of this fact any veggies who order it in your local curry house. Tesco's version is safe for us, though, I'm pleased to report.
