The Best
I’ve been
enjoying Tesco Micro Oats, but have been frustrated that I’ve had to buy the variety
box in order to obtain any of the apple and blueberry flavour. Despite online
research suggesting that this flavour was available on its own, I’ve been
unable to find any in store. I was delighted, therefore, to find that Sainsburys
Express Porridge is
available in apple and cinnamon and raspberry and blueberry flavours, costing
£1.59 for 10 sachets, or currently two boxes for £2.50.

I
immediately bought a box of each of these two flavours for £2.50 and have to
say I really love them. They are also available in original and golden syrup
varieties and they make a tasty, filling start to the
day. This will definitely be the brand that I’m buying in future.
The Worst
I was
intrigued when I noticed Tesco Steak and Cheese Pies (frozen) on a recent shopping trip
and just had to try them. At £2 for four, and containing British beef, I
thought they would make a tasty change for the family meal. Sadly, however, I
was very disappointed.
They seemed
to cook unevenly, with the pastry topping cooking well and the pastry case
remaining soggy and slightly undercooked. The feeling did not taste of cheese
at all, but just like any other type of steak pie that I have sampled. I really
won’t be buying these again.
On the
subject of Tesco, I have to say that I was appalled to find, on a recent visit
to my local branch’s Family Café, the cost of their toasted sandwiches has risen from around £2.30 to up to £3.95, depending on the filling, when the
only other thing that appears to have changed about them is the packaging! I
expect a supermarket café to offer a budget menu, not charge as much, if not
more, than trendy coffee shops. (By the way, you can get a basic cheese and ham toastie in Costa for £2.85.) You need to think again Tesco!
