Cheap over expensive

So maybe it’s just me but on the whole I prefer the cheaper version of a food than the more expensive.

A cheaper sausage than the more expensive one as the skin is nicer (no pun)

A cheaper rasher of bacon than the thicker type of rasher

Is there any food you won’t compromise on regardless of expense?

Paradise, Herts

Oh god. Cheap sausages. Nooooooo!

I prefer thin bacon though as I like it crispy. I don’t like thick cut

These days, it’s whatever I can afford.

I hate cheap sausages but if the international bank of money says so, I gotta have ‘em.

Real question is less about cost and more about quality and value.

Looking at a menues you'll often hear people say hmmm slow braised pork belly served on patatoe & cabbage hash. Or oh my look marinated ox cheek slow cooked with red cabbage . Both of which are two old fashioned "cheap" cuts but they now command both places on the "specials" menue at inflated prices.

Marketing makes fools of us all.

Fruit. The cheap stuff is usually tasteless (well in this country anyway... Doesn't seem to apply in the rest of the world )

I learned in this country we are mostly eating last years crop. They place it at a temperature which puts it in to hibernation so it doesn’t “rot” or “freeze”. But when you bring it out it absorbs a lot of moisture hence why apples etc go “mushy” really quickly

I’d much rather eat seasonally

I look for good value rather than cheap, thats subjective I know

To me some cheap things aren't good value, likewise some expensive aren't either

Carlisle usually

Value to me over direct numbers on price.

If something is worth the cost is more relevant than what the cost is so long as it's within budget.

If I have a slight preference between two equally priced items and one is reduced, I'll take the reduced. If something is cheaper but nasty, then no.

A lot makes sense now. But I kinda wish you hadn’t told us

Kelloggs corn flakes. There’s no compromise. Everything else I buy shops own brand.

since being converted to aldi there are lots of their own brands I buy including baked beans and tomato ketchup. I prefer their yogurts and smoothie type drinks. I now buy their cleaning products and washing tablets. Fresh meat is meat wherever you go.

I've found one of the very few things I won't compromise on is mayonnaise it has to be hellmans

I'm trying everything, if I don't like it I go back to what I was having before, if not I'm sticking with cheaper and enjoying the saving. No doubt those cheaper items will creep up in price and become just as expensive in a few months or years.

What I don't like is when choice is pulled from you so that it's only own brand or only expensive named brand with no other varieties.

you'll be surprised but i read that the same chicken factory , for want of a better word may supply all the chains there chicken breasts (for example) so a waitrose chicken breasts no different to an Aldi breast , its just the packaging.

its the same with lots of products
