Tesco's value
Hello
See if you can guess the product prices

I shamefully thought the products were much higher...

I was hugely over too, I honestly thought the tax on the lager would be more than the selling price. I dread to think what it actually costs to brew

I was 83.6p over, I blew it on the washing powder and lager but was frighteningly close on everything else - guess who does all the shopping in our house?

I was nearly 17 quid out:
Your guess total: 2115p, Actual Price: 432p, Difference: -1683p
This is partly because I've lost track of UK prices a bit (OK a lot), and partly because I wouldn't buy Tesco Value stuff on principle (stuck up twanny that I am!).
Edited to add:
Shampoo 300 33 -267
Bread 55 19 -36
Mandarins 85 21 -64
Macaroni cheese 150 88 -62
Washing powder 500 58 -442
Cheese 90 24 -66
Curry snack pot 250 31 -219
Carrots 40 14 -26
Lager 350 86 -264
Lemonade 95 19 -76
Crisps 200 39 -161Total: 2115 432 -1683

99% of it is crap. Im more of an Asda man than Tesco`s (asda is closer, nowt to do with brand!) and their Farmstores range is the same sort of pricing as the Tesco value stuff.
Its mostly inedible dross, but if you are in poverty it might just about keep you alive. Everything is very salty, very sweet or very watery, and its all packed with a list of unpronounceable chemicals that put your average science experiment to shame.
Only noteworthy exceptions are cheapy supernoodles, which cost about 8p per pack. The included sachet of flavour is only fit for the bin, but the noodles themselves are fine if you flavour them with something else.
Also, I drink the cheap pure orange juice as I dont think its noticeably different from the better brands.
I remember years ago I saw a pair of minky old geezers buying an entire trolley-load of Asda brand lager. I think the total came to about £8 for the whole trolley-load!
