I used to but not as much now. Coffee was always a big one for me but we get that from Aldi now and it’s perfectly good 😊
Cereal was another but I try to not eat as much anymore. Muesli had to be Alpen but then I started mixing my own and it was superb!
Same with soft drinks, thought all the cheaper versions were gross! I still do to be fair, but again it’s something I cut out massively.
Yes I know Iceland I myself shop there too for good unbranded bargains, and the ingredients is really the same. Ohh great you love cherry bakewell too.
One of my favourite places for freezer shopping! And yes I do they are one of my favourite occasional treats
Ohh, Hay, you know the Bakewell Tarts – if my spelling is correctly.lol. The famous brand name: Mr Kipling – Cherry Bakewell Tarts yes. Well I really love the unbranded name the cheap Tesco Cherry Bakewell Tarts, they look must better and test mush better then the famous brand name Mr Kipling. Mr Kipling, is £3.00. The cheap unbranded name Tesco is £1.19. I add to my shopping list all the time I really like the cheap unbranded name muct better in quality, looks and taste. And I save money on my shopping cost.lol
Yes I have a supermarket near me called Iceland and they have a freezer range for £1 and my family loves it! I won’t pay more for the same quality food the ingredients is almost identical in things I have checked for far more money too! I love cherry Bakewells
Hello Kayla,
Do you know how wrong that sounds, you don’t but generic items you only buy name brands. Look, say you have two phones one phone is a generic and the other phone is a brand name. They both to the same thing no different at all. The generic phone cost $150, the brand name phone cost $750 which one would you buy??? Remember there is no difference between the two phones. This is what make people poor with luck of money buying brand names products. I ask you this question because I buy and sale products, and this would be very interesting and important to me which phone you would buy?
I’m not saying I don’t buy non brands I mostly do I have three children I have to save money where I can but there are one or two food items I don’t like the value version of, such as tinned beans and sausages I only like the branded more costly version. I have an old phone and no contract I don’t care for material things.
There’s only one and that would be, Kelloggs Frosted Flakes. I have tried others and it just wont cut the cake for me.
I love frosted flakes I find a lot of cereal the brands are far nicer.
I did try other brands but I just couldn’t get that taste that I needed. I just might try again. 🙂
Hello Catherine,
Yes I truly understand you, but when it comes to food yes sure I understand you buy the brand for your kids its best be safe and sure. But clothing and material products like phones, shoes etc brand name products. No, I wouldn’t want when I can just buy a good unbranded shoes at a affordable price. I’m not going to buy a new iPhone for £750 to £1000 when I can buy a good phone that do the same thing or even much better then the new iPhone for at least £70 or £150 saving myself money. Brand name is what makes people poor.
Yes it really is and things like clothes I don’t even think the brand names are better quality a lot of the time the cheaper version does the exact job! I also thrift what I can from local groups like toys as the plastic waste is ridiculous and they are usually new when they are given away.
Try China everything you need is there with the best quality and affordable price!! Very simple!!
For non perishable I do shop online for a lot of things from China, but for food items I do like to swap to non brands where I can ☺️
Hello Catherine,
Ok I see yes I understand when it comes to food, I prefer to shop for my brand to be on the safe side.
I haven’t as of yet come across any product that doesn’t have a cheaper version now there may be some out there that don’t have a cheaper version but I haven’t come across it yet.
There are many just a few things I don’t like.
No am too much flexible with the product preferences. As know sometimes, good things comes in and disappears. I will grab the replacement at hand.
Very smart as things do constantly come and go!
, I don’t buy generic items I prefer the name brands
Sonoran with certain products but others I don’t mind.
Yes I used to only drink coke and it had to be branded but now I don’t drink it really.
