Generally speaking I find it hard to tell the difference between supermarket own brands and most of their brand name equivalents. Certainly you soon get used to any slight variation in taste and the money you save.
I always read the ingredients labels on Medicines & painkillers etc, the majority own brand have the same as the big label, saves a lot of money.
Aspirins, paracetamol's and the like are the same thing as fancy named stuff like nurofen. Get the own brands they are much cheaper. They say it takes about 3 days to adapt to different tea and Saintsbury's gold label tea bags are superb.

This reminds me. One of those always tempted to keep myself out of misplaced selfish feeling that telling others could spoil it: tescos economy tea bags. 25p for 40; the best you can get. This are obviously to me, tea that's been collected and repackaged then sold off to get rid for some reason. It is lovely, certainly as good as anything I've tried that is literally 10 times dearer.
I’d like to recommend B.O.B milk, which is now available in most major supermarkets.......orange top. Skimmed milk that really ‘does’ taste like full creamed milk.
Is it British produced and do the farmers get a fair price? Has the label got one of those tractor marks?
Milk imported from our near european neighbours is not produced with the same standards of acceptable animal husbandry. Sadly also true of much EU food production. British standards generally higher than what EU considers acceptable, and British 'acceptable' is enough to turn many sane folk veggie or worse vegan.
Worth it for the 19 lols Keep em coming lads and lasses I am newly single and living in a hostel and have no money these lols are keeping me going
Sorry to hear that @paulie8290 You used to get quite a bit of ribbing from many on here (myself included) for some of your, shall we say, unique posts, but also because you’d then react, sometimes bizarrely. But I’ve got to say, since you’ve returned you’ve shown a remarkable change of attitude. Self aware, witty and humble. And your knowledge of snooker is outstanding! Hope you catch a break soon. Good luck!
Tesco s Gloucosime & Chronditin for dogs £3 for 90 tablets. Great for aching joints, but exactly the same as Holland & Barrett £14 for 30, well except they are chicken flavour. But me and Bailey thrive on them.
The Co-op Irresistible Sea Salt and Chardonnay Vinegar Crisps. They do the regular size bags, or big 150g ones that are often £1. I usually clear the shelf when they are on offer.
Waitrose Himalayan Salt and Organic Rosemary Quinoa Puffs are outstanding and only £8.49 for a 25g bag. Great to snack on whilst waiting for your daughter to finish her oboe lesson before picking up your son from his Mandarin tutor.
I regularly take the taste the difference vine ripened tomatoes out their packaging and put them in the usual bags for tasteless uk loose variety. This is a tip that can be used across all supermarkets.

But at the same time I do appreciate a good tip; be it betting, food, restaurants, holidays or whatever. And this site has quality tips in abundance (as well as humour) from kindred spirits.

Also their non vintage French Pinot Noir, bloody gorgeous, £4.49, an absolute steal.
Lidl port very good. Has a yellow label. Only about 6 or 7 quid.
