POll INCOMINGGGG

For me it is a case of: It wouldnt be on the shelf if I couldnt eat it...so...lets have ya and save some pennies.

Some of us are Poor and buy tesco value products to save money and other Poor people are even more poor than the poor poor because they like their luxury cant help but buy the brand names.

And lets admit it, some stingy yuppie pies also buy tesco value products too and those people in stuck in the middle also buy them.:p

But lets see what this Poll results in.

Tesco Value dishwasher tablets FTW! 2 euro for a box of 40 compared to 7 euro or so for one of the brands, and they do the job just fine. Tesco Value tortilla chips are lovely and tasty too :pac: !

Tesco value sweets ftw.

Be on the look out for the Aldi super 6 though, some great deals there.

Bag of carrots, 44c this week.

I'm poor, I shop around.

Is there a Tesco own brand equivalent of the Atari Jaguar?

I'm a Dunnes Stores mostly customer. Yes I'd buy their own brand biscuits, pasta sauces, butter (that has to be from the same line as one of the brands) and definitely dishwasher tabs.

I've bought and enjoyed tasty Tesco Finest ready meals which are delicious but not that value range which are muck!

Tesco processed food is generally awful. You can get far better quality fresh food for less, and make something really delicious for just a little extra prep.

One exception is that delicious Tesco raspberry cheesecake.

I doubt my carrots, onions, potatoes etc know that they are a Tesco branded product.

GavRedKing

Not a lot but I sometimes pick up items from the value range, the range of products on offer and their overall quality has improved from what was the cheaper brand of years ago.

Its better to shop around and get the best bang for your buck and the value range offer some great products in this regard.

SilverScreen

Tesco Wild & Whippy bars. Nom nom nom nom nom.

Some of the Tesco finest range is OK, but their "Market Value" range is basically the crap that's leftover, then shoved into ugly bags.

I try my best to get most of my ingredients from my local butcher and fruit and veg shop, but I will buy the Tesco equivalent of Rice Crispies rather then buy the Kellogs one now, see nothing wrong with that.

It is important to get value for money these days

Battleflag

I think most of you are missing OP's question

Tesco's line range works as:

Tesco Finest - the best
Tesco - competing with the normal lines
Tesco Value - The Lowest of the low

no, I don't buy Tesco Value

I usually find Aldi products are similar price to Tesco Value products but are often far better quality.

Their value tuna is grand, and only 59c a can.. great for when you're smashed before payday (like now )

^^Do you know how many dolphins, turtles and sharks etc are killed needlessly just so Tesco and the like can produce ridiculously cheap tuna?

I once saw on a supervalu ad, that a carton of juice cost more than a pack of sausages, how is that possible? Well I know how, but it shouldnt allowed.

Stiffler2

No, I find their products are below standard for sub humans similiar to that lovely KVI brand that disappeared along time ago.

I like to purchase the brands that I am familiar with that have gone to the trouble of using vibrant eye catching packaging.

Don't get me wrong I'll go for the deals.

Has aynone ever used the "clubcards" I have one for Tesco, Dunnes & M&S
I've been having them scanned every purchase for years but have never done anything with the cards.

What are they for and what can I get for 5+ yrs of scanning the card but never using it spending roughly 120+ a week on food if not more ??

Duggy747

I buy some Dunnes branded stuff like pasta and water but I never touch Tesco's value stuff. Horrible gack that seems to be leftovers scooped out of somebody's sewer pipe and repackaged.

Tesco value pudding isn't even fit for a rat.

Yup. And it tastes DELICIOUS

EDIT: Looking it up, it seems that the value brand offerings from Tesco, Waitrose, Sainsburys and the like are actually more Dolphin friendly than the expensive brands

So kindly take your hippy nonsense elsewhere

They do. That's why I transfer them to more upmarket packaging as soon as I get home.

Nothing more tasteless than a carrot with low self esteem.

I loves dolphin unfriendly tuna.

cleaning products yes, does the job,some other things are grand, tescos fruit is sh1te though.

I'll buy whatever tastes nice or works well, branding doesn't really matter.

Some Tesco Value products are really nice, such as their shortbread, tea cakes, brie cheese, cherry tomatoes and so on, while others are best avoided.

Just try something one week and if you like it then continue to get it. If not- then just move onto something else.

VinnyTGM

Yes, some branded stuff can be awefully expensive.

No. I'm probably wrong but I always viewed Dunnes stuff better. Not that I shop there. But I find the watered down quality of the food enough to make me never buy that cancerous shíte again.

I buy Marks and Spencers..................peasants.
