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...

White stilton with some bits added

Advantages: tasty
Disadvantages: A little sweet for some

...White stilton with mango and ginger. While shopping in Tesco's I noticed some cheeses on offer buy 2 for £2.39p. One was white stilton with mango and ginger. It was in a 200g plastic wrapped pack. I thought that the offer was good so I bought some .There were other varieties of these cheeses so I mixed and matched them Now I am a great cheese lover nothing better than cheese and biscuits or cheese and chunky crispy bread. I put it in the refrigerator after purchase .Last evening so hubby and I set down to sample these cheeses. We choose biscuits to eat ours with. The cheese is a creamy whiter colour with the occasional orange yellow piece in it; I presume the mango or ginger. I ate some it is a soft creamy texture had the occasional orange coloured pieces in it a little harder the mango I suspect. The initial response I...

White Supremacy

Advantages: lovely
Disadvantages: none

.... Frankly, you can keep your multigrain goodness, put it on a pedestal, shine a spotlight on it and go 'Aah, look at my multigrain goodness. I am so healthy.' I don't want any multigrain goodness. I want a nice floppy bit of white bread. And answer me this: if multigrain goodness is so damn healthy, how come the man down my street, who ate nothing but multigrain his whole life, suddenly died last month? You'll never guess. Hit by a lorry. You can't blame the multigrain for that. So, to Tesco's Value Bread. Not a grain in sight. Good, honest, limp, slightly chewy, thin white bread. Okay, it looks horrible on your shelf, but you can always put a tub of gravy granules in front of it. And it tastes pretty nice. Slightly tasteless, admittedly, but that brings me to another thing. When I make a sandwich, I want the filling to be the predominant...

Trusty Tesco Value Thick sliced white Loaf.....

Advantages: Very Good price, Quallity seems to have improved
Disadvantages: Might need to use it quicker then other brands

...Over the past three and a half years that i've been living in my own place,budgeting for shopping etc I've always felt the need to hunt out food that is good value for money and the lower in price the better. I do have to admit over the years I would only resort to buying Tesco value bread when I really couldn't afford a better quality loaf and I rarely finished a loaf unless using it for toast as to me it had a horrible texture a strange smell aabot it, the bottom edge of the slice always had an un-appetising look about it -like it was coming away from the slice and was all dried up and horrible. HOWEVER!! What with CHRISTMAS coming up and having to stick to a tighter budget AGAIN!! so I can afford all those christmas pressies etc- I bought Tesco Value loafs in place of my usual loaf again.......Only to my suprise I found that...

A Toast to Tesco Toasters

Advantages: Cheap and cheerful, does what it should
Disadvantages: Flex could be longer

...Review of Tesco 4 T 04Value Toaster Tesco have a reputation for producing a wide variety of products under their 'Value' own brand label. Some are good, some are not. However, I am a convert! I have bought several non-food Tesco Value items and been pleased with most of them. My most recent purchase was my new toaster. **Appearance and dimensions** Bland is a good word to sum up the appearance of the Tesco Value toaster! It is made of white plastic, slightly odd in shape being somewhat rotund. In truth it is a little old fashioned compared to the all singing all dancing toasters produced by other companies, but all I want is something to toast my morning bread, so looks don't count for much in my book! The toaster measures approximately 8" high by 9" long, the width is approx. 6.5", so it is compact...

Review of Tesco 4 T 04 W Value White

The white' alright

Advantages: Inexpensive
Disadvantages: Status

...***INTRO*** I discovered Tesco's value chocolate whilst searching for something special. At £0.53 for 200g it seems like good value. It comes in a oblong plastic bag with a picture of white chocolate on the front. I bought mine in May 2005, it is best before 2006. Store in a cool dry place. ***THE PRODUCT*** The pack contains 8 x 25g servings. Ingredients include sugar, cocoa, butter, whole milk powder, soya , emulsifier and flavourings. Each serving contains 136 calories, 8.7g fat (of which 5.4g are saturated) and traces of salt. Suitable for vegetarians. ***THE TASTE EXPERIENCE*** The chocolate had a strong taste of powdered milk with a creamy texture which might be more attractive to the younger consumer. even so I found it difficult to stop after 1 or 2 pieces. The chocolate added something to the taste of TESCOs...

  Working for Tesco

Advantages: Good pay, great benefits package
Disadvantages: Crap uniform, crap managers

.../union related issue. I have not personally had any need to go to the union, but a number of my colleagues have gone to them for advice and found them to be very helpful. One person in particular has had many dealings with the union, and they have helped him to get compensation for several accidents at work. Overall they seem to give a very professional service. Uniform/Equipment Uniforms and any equipment needed to do your job are provided free to you by Tesco. However, they do not like to give uniforms to temporary staff, so you will have to wear your own clothes (usually black trousers, white shirt/top, black cardigan/jumper) until you receive a permanent contract. Then you will usually have to wait months after putting in a uniform request before you actually get one, as they have to be ordered in. In my experience it seems to always...

Review of Tesco

Tescos

Advantages: Great Value
Disadvantages: Puts local businesses under stress

...Tescos is King of all supermarkets and I think that they are best for value in the long term or in the big shop as well. As a student I have found that the tesco down the road from me is my new home, as opposed to the Centre up the road that can be so expensive some times in comparison. Tescos sells your average grocerys as well as dvd's and electricals, clothes, office supplies, tobacco and confectionary, alcohol, cards for special occassions and toys. Everything you need seems to almost be in one store, there is also a tesco value line that provides Tescos own products at a cheaper price. The staff in Tescos are always friendly where I come from in Cookstown, they always help you find something if your not quite sure where it is and always strike up a pleasant conversation at the help desk, though I understand that some...

The White Knight to the rescue on those wet summer days

Advantages: User friendly, light weight and good load capability
Disadvantages: C rated so not he most economical

...As most people in Britain own a washing machine, many, like me, probably struggle to get there washing dry, especially with the glorious sunshine and top quality weather that is constantly warming our cheery faces, (that was sarcasm by the way), so the invention of the clothes/tumble dryer was a god send. So when my old dryer suddenly decided to stop blowing hot air, whilst also gaining a sort of stutter, I decided to go on the hunt for another similar one, coming across a brand called White Knight. But, to add to my confusion, I discovered that there are several types of dryers, such as spin dryers, which simply spin the clothes inside so fast that they eventually dry. Then there?s the condenser dryer, which passes warm air through the clothes and turns the heated air into water vapour sending the vapour into a storage hold, thus...
