Are you a food label snob?

[MissCommando]

Or will you buy whatever is cheapest? If you buy cheap, what have you had that you would recommend?

I am a label snob, can't help it.

[Mick-Talbot]

No, I will try cheaper brands and revert back to the snobby stuff if the cheap brand is crap.
I buy my cereals from Aldi.

[B00]

The only thing i won't compromise on is instant coffee, it has to be Nescafe. I've tried other brands, and 'value' coffee, and I really can't take to them.

Everything else is fair game- if i can buy it Smart Price or whatever, I will do.

[Mick-Talbot]

Daddies brown sauce and Heinz ketchup have proved irriplaceable.

[sandyRoe]

When it comes to Pot Noodles it has to be Knorr.

[Mick-Talbot]

Agree with B00 ...Cheap coffee is nasty

[MissCommando]

Ooh Mick, I've just claimed to be a label snob but I do buy Asda Ketchup. It's really nice.

[Prudie]

Well I wouldn't buy Tesco value anything so I suppose I am.

[MissCommando]

I would never, ever buy smart price meat. That would be a definite no no, I'd rather be without.

[ChocolatChip]

I don't tend to find that I am a food label snob unless it's chocolate. I don't even like dairy milk that much either. I normally like the high quality stuff!
But everything else food wise I am okay with.
I'm funny about buying cheap washing powder and cosmetic products (i.e. make up, shampoo, toothpaste, etc)

[B00]

i've bough smart price meat, and still around to tell the tale, it's ok, nothing wrong with it.

*twitch, twitch*

[erin-x]

I'm very much a food label snob... if something looks good though i'll buy it.

[NOX]

No generally not a food label snob except about a few things Heinze Mayonaise, Alta Rica instant coffee, Douwe Eggberts filter and Yorkshire Tea are about my lot, other than that it's whatever is reduced, on offer or value.

[boxtops]

where we buy labels, it's because we've tried the own label/cheap version, and they don't come up to scratch.

[emmie]

not a label snob, wouldn't want to be, and do not have the money to be.

[tinkerbell23]

When i got my own flat...i had to compromise on things!!!

I get whatever i fancy now....we so use tesco or adsas own but rarely tesco value or smart price...unless its chopped tomatoes or something i dont mind that

It HAS TO BE HP brown sauce....mmmmmmm and i dont like supermarkets own fizzy juice xxx

[RATTER15]

We dont buy any "own Brands" 90% is very poor quality, we stick to what we know!

[askyourgran]

Not really M&S baked beans are lovely and 50p a tin where Heinz are about 65p. I won't compromise on coffee, Kenco Columbian is over £4 now and I've still to find another cheaper one I like. I look out for cheaper teabags Lidl and Aldi have nice biscuits too. Not keen on their cereal though, like eating cardboard.

[sherrardk]

I try own brands or the stuff from Aldi - if the children like it I keep buying it, if they don't then I don't buy it anymore (they love Adli ketchup (it's too tomatoey for me), their fruit juice, some of their crisps, jam). I buy Asda own brand pop, pizza, cheese, bacon, etc. My biggest bargain is the chicken factory shop which supplies Asda, Morrisons and the Co-op - I save a fortune there.

[bigbadmarty]

Asda smartprice butter is indistinguisable (sp?) from lurpak IMHO

[RATTER15]

I lied!! We buy Sainsbury's chicken joints, a great raw snack for the Wolfies and we buy Morrisons own minced beef (Naturally fed raw) great for our little Sammy the Shi-tzu :))
