go to the euro shops, the prices there are great, especially on toiletries.

the new colgate max fresh with breath strips is €3.79 in my local centra but €2 in the euro shop.
shampoo, hair gel, deodourant and other stuff that normally costs a bomb in supermarkets is all only €2
you can get 5 chocolate bars for €2 as well, a lion bar is €1.09 in my local centra but 5 for €2 in the euro shop

edit: 7up and pepsi 500ml are 3 for €2

excellent idea for a thread btw

Tuborg 6 for 8 brick, by far the nicest budget drink in the Off License.

Oh and decent pair off mens tennis runners in Pennys for 3 euro same style as ones you'd find in Topman for about 40 quid.

Yeah seen that! Their Lucozade isn't as good as the real stuff, tastes more like weak lemonade/orangade, can't go wrong with 2 for a Euro though.

I wouldn't trust their toiletries. Got toiletries before and there was just something off about them.

Tesco Value tin of boiled and skinned potatoes; 35c
Tesco Value tin of curry sauce; 35c

Fry potatoes + add curry sauce = sustenance

I'd say wait for the big sales to buy staple items like t-shirts, jeans etc. If you wait, you can save up to 50% on these things, and some people are lucky enough to find great bargains. I'm sorted for the coming winter, just bought my coat which is pure wool, reduced from €150 to €25. It was the last one left, but what a find! Also, going into Tesco at night means you can find all their reduced items from the day. Don't bother with them for fruit and vegetables, Lidl and Aldi are your places. High turnover of them everyday, plus dirt cheap. For example, mangoes are about €3.00 in Tesco, in Aldi they're 59c, exact same quality.
