I refuse to buy cheap bread or jam. For me it's hovis thick sliced wholemeal and Mackies jam only.

We've started buying Robinson's squash, as I was finding the own brand squash to taste really weird. Even though it's a bit more expensive, the taste just seems more natural and, weirdly, has a smoother texture. Own brand (both Tesco & Sainsbury's) seems to make my mouth feel weird.

Also, De Cecco pasta. I thought pasta was just pasta, but damn I was wrong.
