Tesco Value Strawberry Cheesecake

Advantages: Delicious!
Disadvantages: None!

...Who says Tesco Value food isn't up to scratch? Well on the contrary my dear Watson...here's a small dessert that is second to none - their individual strawberry cheesecake. Found in the yoghurts section of your local Tesco, these 100 gram pots cost around the 40p mark. They may not look the most appealing of desserts - in a clear plastic pot with a foil lid with the words Tesco Value inscribed on it. Hardly a great advertisment, but fear not, once you try them then you'll keep going back for more. The strawberry topping is absolutely delicious - sweet, thick and tastes like genuine strawberries rather than some artifical nonsense. The base is a little bit soft compared to a first-class cheesecake base, but remember, you're eating Tesco Value here so there can be no qualms about it's quality in comparison with the price...

Tesco Value Worth A Try!!

Advantages: Cheap And Cheerful
Disadvantages: None

...I seem to go through biscuits at a rate of noughts in my household. I recently discovered the value range of products from Tesco and I have to say I am extremely surprised at how good and vast the range is and how much money I have saved over the last few weeks and months by switching from my usual branded items. The value selection has products which look similar to their more expensive counterparts however they can often be up to a third cheaper or even as much as half price less. In all honesty my son doesn't really notice the difference so I will continue buying these items. The product that I will review now is Tesco Value Jaffa Cakes. These Jaffa cakes come in a box containing 24 cakes. They are around 56p and I have to say are a good alternative to the original Mcvities range which are considerably more expensive...

Tesco Value Bread

Advantages: very cheap, ok if you are on a serious budget
Disadvantages: goes mouldy quickly, not very tasty

...Bread. One of the nations staple foods, and certainly one of my favourites. There is so much you can do with bread, from bread and butter pudding, to sandwiches and toast, to dippy soldiers and croutons. Most people eat bread most days of the week and if it is made the right way with the right kind of flour it can be very healthy for you. Bread these days somes in all manner of shapes and sizes, flavours and colours and will a whole range of toppings and additions such as sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, nuts, fruit... the list 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...

Tesco Value Gravy - Hit or Miss?

Advantages: VERY CHEAP! Ok for Temporary stand by -if really is no other.
Disadvantages: Bland-with strange after taste ..

...TESCO VALUE GRAVY I think it's quite likely that most people have a tub or packet of instant gravy or stock cubes etc lurking in the food cupboard somewhere. Perhaps in some homes only to make an appearance once or twice a week with the sunday roast or perhaps with a dinner such as Bangers and mash.. Well ..a couple of shops ago while picking my online order at tesco.com ,I had finished the shop all except going through check out when I remembered that I had run out of gravy during the week. So I thought i'd add some quick but seeing as I always shop to an exact budget and an average price for 200ml of instant gravy can be around 0.70p to just over £1.00 ,It was looking like I might have to take out one of my smaller items to free up some change for the gravy ... However as I am one of those who doesn't usually make gravy anymore...

Do Tescos do dentistry? - Tesco Value Toffees

Advantages: Smell great; super packet;
Disadvantages: Likely to remove teeth.

...As part of my constant search for a replacement for chocolate in my life I am delving into the confectionery department and sampling a range of toffees. Having recently fallen for a range of tesco value products I happily threw these in my basket and toddled off to the train to sample my new purchase on the way home. Big mistake! More later but, like any good review, you have to suffer the important info first. TOFFEE - WHAT IS IT? Apparently, according to the fount of all knowledge - Wilkipedia - "Toffee is a confection made by boiling molasses or sugar (creating inverted sugar) along with butter, and occasionally flour. The mixture is heated until its temperature reaches the hard crack stage of 300 to 310 °F (150 to 160 °C). " Thereafter the mix is stiff enough to be pulled into a shape with a glossy surface. It's then poured...

A puffed up windbag of a pasty. Tesco Value Cheesy Pasty

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Poorly filled, disappointing

...Review of Tesco Value Cheesy Pasty. In a household with two meat eaters and one vegetarian (me!) it is sometimes difficult to find meals that we can all eat. The meat eaters are happy to have a few vegetarian meals each week but on their meat eating nights, I sometimes feel that I am running a cafe, having to cook separate dishes! I'm not fond of processed foods, but when I saw these Tesco Value Cheesy pasties at only 29p, I couldn't resist trying them, thinking that they would make a quick meal for me when the others eat meat. The Packaging The 150g pasty is presented in a clear plastic packet. The Tesco log appears on the front of the wrapper in red and white writing. There is a basic nutritional chart at the bottom, close to the best before date. The reverse of the packaging carries the cooking instructions, oven cook for 18...

Tesco Value Tinned Chopped Tomatoes

Advantages: A basic stock cupboard accessory
Disadvantages: Nothing more!

...Ah, a stock cupboard essential...aside the baked beans and tinned peas, here's the good old Tesco Value Chopped Tomatoes. Nuff said. Priced in the shop at 39p for a 400 gram tin...that's about 6p more than the peeled plum variety, chopped tomatoes are a staple of numerous foods - obvious ones such as bolognese and chilli, and despite their extremely cheap price, they are one of the most important parts of the meal. Naturally, there are more expensive varieties out there. Even other Tesco own brand ones cost more - some include hints of garlic or basil, for a mere couple of pence more which may be ideal if you only want one can and don't want to both a 'bunch' or 'clove' or whatever these additions come in! The ingredients are as followed (there's not many!)... Tomatoes (60%), Tomato Juice, Citric Acid. Done! As you...

Get Stuffed!! (With Tesco Value Stuffing Mix)

Advantages: Cheap and pleasnt tasting
Disadvantages: Not as appealing in looks as top brands

...Review of Tesco Value Sage and Onion Stuffing mix The Product This product is one of the Tesco supermarket own brand budget range. Along with many other supermarkets, Tesco have introduced a no frills, basically packaged range of everyday grocery and household goods, some are excellent, some are mediocre and some are quite awful. The Sage and Onion Stuffing mix falls in the excellent category in my opinion. The dry stuffing mix weighs in at 85g, which when made up produces 300g of stuffing. It is produced for Tesco in the United Kingdom and costs a very reasonable 16p. When compared to branded stuffing mixes, this is an absolute snip! The product is packaged in a recyclable cardboard outer box, it is usually found lurking among the more expensive brands. The box is basically red and white with the Tesco Value logo in red...

Tesco Value Hairspray

Advantages: A good effective value hairspray
Disadvantages: none really

...Just lately I seem to be systematically working my way through the supermarket basic ranges. Admittedly there have been some value products that have been too basic but I have encountered the odd one or two that have met with approval. I have always used hairspray, just a touch to help keep the barnet in place! There is a never ending range of sprays on offer these days and as soon as you turn your back another top hair stylist is introducing yet another `wonder` spray. A personal favourite is Silvikrin hairspray, it is good at its job, it is pleasantly perfumed and the fine spray gives a good firm hold. I had no real reason for trying out the Tesco Value hairspray, admittedly the price being 37p for a 300ml can did play a part in my decision but I think that I picked it up out of interest more than anything else. Why is...

Tesco Value That Wont Break The Bank

Advantages: Really Tasty
Disadvantages: Can Be Sickly

...I was shopping in my local Tesco recently which had just undergone a total refurbishment. While browsing I discovered an entire aisle dedicated to their "value" range of products. I was actually quite amazed at the number of basic everyday essentials that they sold. Usually these products can be found underneath their more expensive counterparts and up to this point I have to say a lot of them had gone unnoticed by myself over the years. I purchased a few of these items and it is these that I will be reviewing over the next few weeks or so. We are huge fans of peanut butter in our household. In fact if I don't have a jar somewhere there is usually an outcry. I certainly don't mind buying it for my son either. Well there are much worse things that I could be giving him on his sandwiches!!! On this occasion I decided to try a jar...
