Tesco Value White bread

...what I have found!!! Tesco value white sliced bread comes in packs of 800g it is either normal thickness or thick sliced, either way you are getting 800g and they are both the same very low price of just 19p, that's 2p per 100g. The medium thickness loaf contains approx 20 slices and obviously the thick loaf a little less. Each 100g provides 243 kcal, 7.9g protein, 49g carbs of which 3.5g are sugars, 1.6g fat of which 0.4g are saturates, 0.8g are ...
...us? In May 2004 Tesco made a promise to its customers that they would begin labelling Trans fat quantities on their own brand products. They have now reneged. They are now saying they are not going to do it after all "as there is no legal obligation to do so" But that was the case when they made the promise!!!! You can help the Campaign against Trans Fats in Food (tfx.org.uk) by writing to Tesco asking them why they have broken their promise!! ...

Review of Tesco Value White bread

Tesco value Sliced bread Well after my op on Tesco value beans what to follow but Tesco value sliced bread. Then you can make Tesco value beans on toast. I do not often eat value sliced bread. I sometimes buy one for the freezer if I am going away so that I have some bread when I get home without going to the shops. When Sleepydormouse was a student she lived on Value bread. It is cheap and filling for those on a low income.. Tesco value bread ...
...a plastic bag with the Tesco value blue and red design, easily recognisable.. As I said I often have one in the freezer for emergencies. This bread is not available in frozen form at the supermarket. It is conveniently sliced so easy to break of just a few slices straight from the freezer to make toast and the slices fit well into my toaster. I buy the thick loaf the other being to thin. I like my bread thick anyway. If you want to make sandwiches ...

Review of Tesco Value White bread

...from the local Asda or Tesco every now and again but as our household weekly shop was so large when put into perspective, it was becoming more and more expensive. Even though we never bought all of our shopping for the week in one go, here is an average list of basics that my household would consume within 7 days... > 8 Loaves > 20 + Pints of Milk > 10 Tins of beans/spaghetti etc > 3 500g tubs margarine The most expensive thing was the bread, ...
...the sandwiches actually sold by Tesco are made using this bread. The loaf itself comes in two different varieties: thick (blue label) and medium sliced (red label), which both cost 19p each. There is also no limit to how many loaves you can buy in one transaction as well, which would normally be the case with something so cheap. I have noticed though, that, even though you can get this bread in all larger Tesco stores, you cannot always get it ...

Review of Tesco Value White bread

== TESCO VALUE BREAD == "Without bread all is misery." The author of this quote (William Cobbitt) had obviously not sampled Tesco's Value bread!!! The Oldchem household is like the Bermuda Triangle when it comes to bread. Any bread coming close to us seems to disappear unexplainably within seconds. We can be running along quite nicely, and there be plenty of bread in the breadbin, then my son will come in from school, drop his school bag in the ...
...the word very loosely) of Tesco Value Medium Bread. Now what I can't understand is that when, on the few occasions I dare to, send Mr Oldchem shopping, he NEVER looks at prices and usually ends up buying the most expensive of everything, but he was very proud of himself for purchasing a loaf for 47p!! So what did I think of his purchase? As there may be children reading this review, I will choose my words carefully!! === THE PACKAGE === A plastic ...

Review of Tesco Value White bread

Is that title in dubious taste? Pah, I care not. It's Friday evening and almost pub time. On with the review! Fifteen years ago, everybody used to eat white bread. Only hippies and gays ate brown bread, and there was certainly no such thing as wholemeal. Of course, I lived in Yorkshire fifteen years ago, so it might just have been us being a bit backward. But now, honestly, unless your loaf is caked in two inches of sunflower seeds and stuffed full ...
...nothing but a stupid idiot. I hate that. For your information, 'those people', I happen to like white bread. I like it soft and floppy, so that it goes a bit soggy when you make a cheese and tomato sandwich. And if that makes me some kind of sad eighties throwback, which it doesn't, then fine, I'm a sad eighties throwback, which I'm not. Frankly, you can keep your multigrain goodness, put it on a pedestal, shine a spotlight on it and go 'Aah, look ...

Review of Tesco Value White bread

...goes on. .... not Tesco Value bread! The Cost *********** As you would expect, Tesco Value bread is cheap. Very cheap! Currently it is 23p per 800g loaf in my local Tesco store. Whereas most high quality loaves cost in excess of 85p for the same sized loaf you would be forgiven for thinking that the Tesco loaf represents much better value. Wrong. You pay for what you get and with this in mind the fact thet you are paying only 23p for a loaf ...
...not a big fan of Tesco Value bread. I do buy it occasionally when I am a bit hard up but I certainly do not like it. THe quality is very poor and I tend to find that 9 times out of 10 the loaf is stale when I buy it, let alone when its been in the breadbin for a few days. The one thing that suprises me more than anything else is how quickly the bread can go mouldy. I make sandwiches to take to work and when I make the sandwiches the night before ...

Review of Tesco Value White bread

...usual blue and white stripey tesco valur logo on it and has a little closing sticker at the top to close it which has the date on it. Okay one good thing about this bread is that it is generally always very soft and fresh to the touch but I have to say there is a lot of compromise on the flavour it just tastes manky...and the crust has a really weird flavour to it....kinda like eating ear wax....not that I make a habit of doing so lol. Ingredients: ...
...you buy it you get tesco points but then you'll get them anyways and more of them if you purchase a different brand....I prefer to buy their fresh baked breads and normally at the end of the day you can get these cheaper than the 50p and are good enough to last a few days. Seriously treat yourself to some decent bread I couldnt imagine having this for my sandwiches everyday in work well unless I didnt fancy eating that day so might be good to help ...

Review of Tesco Value White bread

Tescos Value bread. =============== Bought this the other day, not sure why but thought that we would give it a try, how bad could it be for 35p? The loaf itself is a good size and comes in the noticeable White and Red packaging. Upon opening the package there is a plain smell, nothing like a usual bread smell. The bread itself is a little tougher and has a damp doughy feel to it. You get around 15 slices in the 'Thick cut' loaf and my they are thick! ...
...slice which to me seems a little high. Sandwiches; ========== Do not bother making any sandwiches with this bread, it is an odd off white in colour which is firstly unappetizing and secondly the bread tastes 'Heavy' and again 'Doughy'. Toast; ====== It does make pretty good toast and one piece is very filling. Only problem here is anything but butter and the bread just goes soggy and tastes bland. Makes a meal in itself if covered with beans or cheese. ...

Review of Tesco Value White bread

Tesco Value Bread comes in three forms, thin slices, medium or thick. It's plain white bread and just about the most basic loaf you can buy. Tesco Value products tend to have a bad reputation for being of poor quality, however I found that Tesco Value Bread was actually better than Tesco Standard Bread which costs double the amount. Value bread seemed to be a lot softer and I found when eating it that it was actually pretty good. Even if you find ...
...etc written on it in Tesco value's usual colours of red, white and blue. This product contains: Wheat Gluten & Soya Recipe: No nuts. Ingredients: Cannot guarantee nut free. Factory: No nuts. The ingredients, for those of use who want to know what is in our food are: Wheat Flour, Water, Yeast, Salt, Vinegar, Vegetable Oil, Soya Flour, Emulsifiers (Mono- and Di-Acetyltartaric Esters of Mono- and Di-Glycerides of Fatty Acids, Mono and Di-Glycerides ...

...motif is the emblem for Tesco value products, so watch out for those. The bag is sealed wit yellow tape at one end of the bag to keep it airtight. The use by date is also present on the yellow tape. APPEARANCE The outer appearance of the bread has a creamy brown colour on the top and pale yellow on the outside. This bread isn’t a crusty bread so don’t expect a crunch when you bite into the crust. The inside of the bread it is white, ...
...and is very cheap indeed. Tesco do stock brown bread at only 19p only but they hardly stock much on the shelf and they sell quickly like hot cakes! USE BY DATE The bread has a 2 week use by date on average if the bread has just been put out the the shop floor, if the bread becomes a few days old Tescos will reduce it to 10p per loaf which is even better if you would the bread very quickly indeed. STATISTICS I’ve recently bought a medium ...

Review of Tesco Value White bread

...read a few reviews on Tesco Value bread, it seems like, unlike other Value products, this has impressed a lot of people. So I decided to give it a go myself, and to impress me is hard, as I am a bit fussy when it comes to bread. I like it white, I like it as processed-tasting as possible (in my view there is nothing as bad as fresh bread with a rock-hard crust and a dry inside bit), I like it in a bag (as it's easier to seal and keep soft and I ...
...on the bag, is the Tesco Value logo-the blue stripes, the Tesco logo and the value in the red box. In pink underneith it says 'sliced white bread'. Simple as that! Also featured is the suitable for veggies mark and it states that this bread is suitable for home freezing. ~How soft and fresh is this bread?~ This is why I have to say I love this bread! It is very soft and almost moist tho the touch and it tastes, well, as fresh and as soft as can ...

Review of Tesco Value White bread

...The packaging, like all tesco value products is simple, just a clear bag with a white section with the standard, tesco value, white bread. Taste: Taste! what taste, this bread doesn't taste bad, in fact if it tasted bad, it might have been better, at least it would taste of something. This destroys much of the joy of bread, it's not just the taste of the filling in the sandwich, but how the flavors intermix with the yeasty, taste of the bread. As ...
...it is soft, and unnaturally white, with no proper crust, this really is a pretty miserable bread. As for smell, it is very artificial, not even the faintest whiff of yeast, or anything you normally associate with bread. Ingredients: To the best of my knowledge, and from making bread myself, bread is only meant to include a few key ingredients, flour, water, and yeast, salt (as a preservative) and a wee bit of sugar nothing else, this bread does ...

Review of Tesco Value White bread

...of any other bread? Are Tesco overcharging on branded goods? Probably not. Are branded goods overcharging? Who knows? Are value lines loss leaders? Only Tesco know the answer to that. This bread costs 23p for 800 g of sliced white bread. Most brands are 50p – 80p for the same size loaf. What does it taste like? Well it’s OK, not very inspiring, but OK and it is only 23p. It’s OK for toast but I didn’t enjoy it much as sandwiches. Sawdust isn’t ...
...it! The ingredients are as follows: Wheat flour, Water, Yeast, salt, Vinegar, Vegetable oil and Hydrolysed vegetable fat, Emulsifiers (lots of them) and Flour Treatment agent. I have compared this with a sliced white loaf from a popular brand which is a lot tastier, but which is a lot more expensive. The list of ingredients is similar, but it does include Soya, preservative (calcium proponiate) and “flavouring”; whilst it omits the vinegar. So what ...

Review of Tesco Value White bread

...plastic bag with the basic Tesco Value logo on it. This can be frozen and has 105 calories per slice which seems pretty standard for thick cut white bread, although I wouldn't say that these slices are particularly thick, more of a medium slice which is why I buy the thick slice in the first place. This is not very nice bread for using in sandwiches as it is not really white in colour, more of an off white (greyish almost) and it does not have that ...
...I personally would recommend using this product for toast, making breadcrumbs or using in bread and butter puddings etc. The smell of this bread isn't offensive or anything like that, it just doesn't have a very nice taste or smell to it, kind of plain and the bread is not very soft no matter how soon after it hitting the shelves you buy it. It is quite compact and after a day or two it goes very stale very fast. I would always recommend keeping ...
