Chinese packet noodles are usually much better than UK brands of the same thing. And much cheaper.

I have been a fan of Heinz low-cal beans for many years... there were none in stock so I got Tesco's own brand. Delicious. Will not be going back to Heinz now... and save myself some pennies too.

I used to drink cheap Tesco cola rather than the more dear Coca-Cola! It had more taste to it.
But I avoid fizzy drinks now. |

I assume this only applies to 'lo cal', I have never found any other brand of baked beans to be as good as heinz.

Tesco Value version of After Eights - definitely nicer than the "real thing". They're a bit thicker too, so you get more in a bite! About 75p a box.

After spending lots of money on buying Magnum ice-creams for years I have now discovered Somerfield's Milk Choc Ices. 96p for 10 and they're delicious.

![]() I believe this to be a concocted story of unfactual information. I have just looked online and it's 23p for 100g (there's no 500g listed). |
