sandwhich stuff like sliced cheese/ ham/ humous /pitta bread/wraps are all really nice so are the cakes/ yogurts /smothies the friut is also always nice and fresh the only down fall is there isnt as much choice as the bigger stores

My husband is normally a fussy bugger when it comes to food and a normally spend roughly ??100per week. There is just us 2 and his 2 kids at weekends. He actually suggested doing this. if i could save ??70 a week then im going to start this week. If we dont like it then we dont have to do it again but im def gonna give this a go.x
my mum used to buy smartprice food from asda n i think its fine especially wen its sooooo cheap. id do tht but ant dont like cheap food.
last summer [before i had baby] it took my agent 14 weeks to find me another job after my last one finished, and so i had to buy smart price food.
most of it is good, [spesh the cheesecakes] but i would advice steering clear of smart price meats: they neither look or taste nice, and smart price bread is a bit nasty too !
me and my oh spend around ??60 a week on food, and its just me and him and 10 week old daughter. but we like good food and i only occasionaly buy smart price things. we dont smoke or drink or have any other hobbies, so nice food is like our luxury, our treat for ourselves.
dont get me wrong, i shop at asda, not waitrose, lol, as im still tight fisted and dont believe in spending more than we have to, but some smart price food is not nice, and i was either constipated or had the runs because the quality of some of it is rubbish.
