buy cheaper brands

[c.a.cullum]

not bad at all!!! i'd love to go to a cash and carry!!!! my m8s parents used to all the time!!! so much better than normal shopping!!! dont u have to b a member or summit tho!!?

Yeah, you just have to prove that you have your own business (with bills, tax forms or whatever). Great there - some really good bargains! Can even get cheap christmas presents and stuff aswell like when your kids want an 8ft trampoline or a 10ft pool! hahaha!

ohh dear, the only cheap shop name things i buy is basic kitchen roll from sanisburys and basic tin tomatoes from sanisburys and kidney beans basic!! im not into cheap shopping, as me and hubby say, u only get wot u pay for!!

that isnt bad debs i wont buy own brand soap powder and softener or the value 1s i dont buy much of the value stuff im not keen on it

you do only get what you pay for and in some cases what you are getting is overpriced stuff exactly the same as the shop branded stuff!!!
for example heinz make sainsburys beans there is just more juice!!! and things like sainsburys or tesco country crisp cereal-made by jordans you no!!!! this goes for most things as well like when i gave up smoking the nicorette tablets i used are the boots own ones made in the same factory as the nicorette ones and exactly the same leaflet inside and everything even said made by nicorette just had the boots label oh and 5 pound cheaper!!!

not everything is nice that has a shop label instead of brand label but it is defo worth trying them out as does save you money--the more expensive supermarkets tend to have better own brand stuff as these are the ones that buy from larger companies and rebrand with their own name!!!!

ive got a makro card (its a very very large cash n carry) i have got a few people one as we own our own business. its a good shop, but if anyone go's to the one in ipswich, expect to be in therea few hours as its MASSIVE!!!!!!!! its got everything in there, frozen foods, fresh food, tin foods, crisps, sweets, clothes, nappys, deodrants, electricals, computer games, gym equipment!!!! everything lol

I buy shops own brands all the time.
I add spices or herbs to things to give them more flavour. For instance I never buy a Spag Bol sauce I just start with a tinned tomatoes and puree and loads of veg (especially onions) and then add herbs and garlic etc.

Still comes out the same!

i buy half & half. some things i really can't buy cheap like washing powder - i have to buy fairy non bio as the kids suffer from eczema & nappies have to be huggies, i find the cheaper ones just split open & u get a trail of nappy lining around the house. but i agree with you about the tinned goods. i also go to costco (like macro). i got my daughter a leap pad in there for christmas it was only £15

I swear by macro me my mam and sister go all the time and buy things like teabags, coffee, and toilet rolls works out a lot cheaper sharing them and the cost
