We only buy Heinz Baked Beans, Heinz Tomato Ketchup, Branston Pickle, Hellman's Mayonnaise, HP's brown sauce, Walkers Crisps, Colman's Mustard & Coca Cola.
Life's too short to put up with black baked beans on your toast!

Not much stuff we buy is branded as the Asda (non smart price) alternative is usually just as good. Me and Nat usually do a fortnightly shop for £80-£85.

Guinness 
Found a local farm shop nearby last week for a bbq at my mates place, the steak and pork chops were so much better than what I've bought from local supermarkets.
Tomato sauce and baked beans I'd agree with

The rest i can usually handle without an issue (including red sauce and beans), but the one thing i am quite fussy about is meat, pointless buying cheap, ****ty meat, sit down to a nice meal, she has slaved away in the kitchen to make it, 3rd mouthfull in and you get a right old GNARLY piece of bony, fatty gristle, urrrrghhhhhhhhhh.

Just like everyone else it would appear: Heinz baked beans and tomato sauce. But also Pepsi Max and that is about it.
I prefer Walker's crisps, but will buy and happily eat other brands.

Hellmans mayo, I can't bring myself to buy any other brand for some reason.
We only buy British meat, regardless if it's cooked or fresh. This can be a nightmare in supermarkets as it can be classed as a product of the uk as long as it's packed here. The only way to be sure is if it has the red tractor assured foods stamp on it.
Best sticking to farm shops for meat though, much better tasting and a great variety if you shop around. We had local buffalo burgers the other week.
