    Seen sooo many people scrutinising the packaging. If you’re On a tight budget, what does it matter what the packaging is like. I’m really impressed with the asda range! Haven’t tried all the items, but the bits we have had, have been great: x

    • @TheBudgetMumUK
      @TheBudgetMumUK  ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Exactly! I pour my rice into a container, same with pasta. Once it’s in, who knows whether it’s Waitrose Essentials or Asda essentials 😉
      I used to work for a continental food production company. We supplied pasta and continents meats to Asda, Sainsburys, M&S… the same product. Different pack.. 🤫

    We swapped our whole shop to Asda own brand last week and I was amazed at how much we saved. The kids, who are the hardest critics, love some of the stuff and prefer it to the branded items!
    I think everyone is wising up and buying the essentials though as most of the stuff are out of stock.

    I love Asda essentials and don’t care what colour the packaging is. I’d rather eat well than worry about what other people think. Good for Asda, every penny helps. At least they are doing something unlike our useless government. Give it a go you’ve got nothing to lose and pennies to gain x

    Here in the US, about 40 years ago, we had a slew of generic products hit the market, labeled in black and white with the simple name of the item inside listed. Not everything was top quality, but most items were at least on the level of house brands (which for the most part were and still are made by major manufacturers). It seems that ASDA is now doing the same thing there in the UK. I would love to see this sort of thing return here in the US.

    • @TheBudgetMumUK

    why should you care about the colour of packaging your not going to eat it.
    people need to get out of there heads the stupid idea that it makes them look poor or that there buying substandard product.
    too many food companies are hiking up prices due to there name.
    paying 95p for a tin of soup is just not value for money
