tesco value tinned potatoes

[Haplo2481]

for the last week or so Tesco has reduced the price of it's tinned value potatoes down to 15 pence a tin(in the Reading branch at least). They now have a best before date of jan 2016. I know a lot of snobs think that value lines aren't worth buying but in my experience they are nutricious and filling and for us lower paid workers an affordable part of daily life let alone prepping. I usually try a tin of what ever I plan to stock up on before I buy a load to make sure that I can enjoy what I store.

I just thought it worth mentioning that people should at least try the cheaper options as I have a few friends who only pay fro the best.

I'm not sure about the Tescos tinned taters but I found the ASDA value ones disintegrate a bit, may be just the batch I tried, so i tried the Aldi ones and they're OK, so try some before you buy a shed load

Tesco Tinned potatoes are ok as a stand by. They do disintegrate a little but are filling and easy to warm up. Have sliced and fried them and they make nice chippy type things to go with bacon and egg.
I have them in the stores but aim to use fresh first.

I use the Sainsbo version, their Basics range. I love them! Don't use them a lot, but every now and then

mashed or whole , sliced and fried or deep fried with veg and yourchoice or meat . its a quick meal .
i still prefer fresh but when thats not an option they make do.

I work from home, and don't eat wheat ... so for me, its a quicker lunch than gluten free pasta and my taste buds betray me, I *like* cheap food
