Basic Supermarket Brands

Supermarkets have been introducing an increasing range of budget brands – Tesco Everyday Value, Sainsburys Basics, Morrisons M Savers, Asda Smart Price,  Marks and Spencer Simply ranges and so on.

Many of these have been recently revamped, in some cases re-working the packaging to be a little more attractive and/or improving product quality. Budget buys are often situated on the lower shelves of supermarket displays, however, with more expensive, bigger brand names at eye-level to entice shoppers. So don’t be afraid to dig deep for that bargain – it can do wonders to the cost of your weekly shop.

Of course, you may not find that all budget products are to your liking, but why not try a few and see for yourself?

Amongst my favourites are:

Tesco Everyday Value Garlic Bread, twin pack 64p
Morrisons Savers Raspberry Sponge Sandwich cake 58p
Sainsburys Basics frozen Berry Mix £1.29
Tesco Everyday Value Fromage Frais 42p
Sainsburys Basics Wrapping Foil 15m, 54p

 
It’s also worth looking at budget label fruit and veg; often the taste is as good as other varieties, though the size and shape may be a bit irregular.
