- we usually buy free range or organic where possible
- good quality tea and coffee (from this gorgeous italian shop near home), and chocolate sprinkles for babycinos!
- toilet paper
- agree on the mayo - whole egg all the way. Shame they don't advise use of free range or not on these!!
Mayo, toilet paper, coffee and cerial are the regular things
Occaisionally I get the exxy ice cream (sarah lee, homer hudson or connosieur are my scrumptious favourites!), yoghurt (jalna, or yoghurt from the deli), chocolate (love baci chocolates, dove individually wrapped ones, or 'choc heaven' mix form a choc shop in chatswood!)
REading through, there are definitely some more on my list -
Definitely free range, never ever get cage eggs
I'm happy to buy homebrand for a lot of things but not their pasta
Also gotta have the 333's gherkins cos they're the only crunchy sweet ones (I"m addicted we go through a jar a fortnight)
WYSIWYG - well if the Brits think it's good tea then it is! I"ve converted a few of my friends over the years too
We're pretty budget shoppers, but now you mention it I suppose I do have my 'things'. I guess the way to justify it is that if we got the cheapest loo paper, we might end up using more anyway...well I will tell myself that!
- Moccona coffee (in my defense, I'll only get it if it's on special, and I'm thankful it's always on special when we need it!)
- loo paper (Quilton, because it's not too exy and 'loves your bum' makes me laugh)
- Jalna yoghurt (after Janie and Olive told me to look at how much sugar was in my normal yoghurt!). If we're really strapped, we just won't get yoghurt at all.
- Mayo (but same clause as yoghurt)
So there you are. A few luxuries, and I'm sure there are more! It seems we tend to go without rather than get a brand we don't like. A week without yoghurt or mayo never killed us!
Tetley all rounder teabags.
Meat!- I would rather have less meat meals than buy meat from the supermarket- I buy organic chicken and good quality meat from a butcher and we really notice the difference.
DH has pepsi max not homebrand cola.
Most stuff I buy from Aldi though to save money. Some times I spoil myself with Connoisseur pomegranate and raspberry yoghurt which I LOVE!
