I don't know about you, but as money has got tighter those "cheapie" brands at the supermarket are looking more and more attractive. Over the last year or so, we've been trying out more and more of them, after all, if you don't try them, how do you know if they're any good?
So I thought I'd share some of the bargains I've found in the Asda Smart Price range, that are worth every penny, and a perfectly good replacement for named or own name brands :)
Ready Salted Crisps
These cost just 68p for 12 bags, so pretty damn cheap. The packs are small, 18g, but that's around the normal size for a multi-pack bag. The crisps themselves taste lovely. Really potatoe-y, and not too salty. I personally like the fact that the skin is still on them as it gives that little bit of extra flavour, and let's be honest, a lot of crisps are sold as premium because they have the skins on lol!
As you can see from the ingredients, they consist of just potatoes, oil and salt, and there are just 96 calories in a bag. These have become a staple in our household, and quite honestly, if you like your crisps plain, you might as well save yourself some cash and buy these!! Big thumbs up!
Cheese Singles
Cheese singles, hardly a gourmet food, and something we only buy to put on burgers, and as such as long as it tastes vaguely cheesy and melts, it does the job. Now, if you're going to use them in sandwiches you might want to pay a bit extra (or buy proper cheese!!!), but for burger toppings, these are just fine, especially if, like us, you also add a variety of sauces, onions or whatever to your burgers. At a price of 54p for 10 rather than £1 for 10 for the standard Asda ones, you really might as well save your money :)
Any recommendations?
