Is it great to go back to basics?
In the current climate, people have made cuts to their spending, this goes all the way from big spends like ski holidays, to smaller and more popular cutback’s switching to cheaper brands of groceries. However some people, including myself (I’m not ashamed to admit it) have shied away from buying cheaper products. Despite buying a few Sainsbury’s Basics products as they seem better value, I am sometimes sceptical with a few products, and have regretted buying a few (Basics hot chocolate tastes like sawdust) but this blog has changed everything.
‘Back to Sainsbury’s Basics’ blog is a person’s experience with different Sainsbury’s basics items, tried and tested, often in a recipe. The blog is great as we, the general public can read about the items before buying them and making the same mistake if applicable. It also provides cheap and cheerful recipe ideas, like kedgeree and cottage pie, all with Basics ingredients. At the end of each review is a price per unit, the cost of a trade up premium, and benefits of a trade up, great info for us shoppers.
The ‘Back to Sainsbury’s Basics’ blog also provides awareness about Basics products. The truth is that many people are still fooled by Sainsbury’s basics products, thinking that they are cheap and rubbish, it may be the case for a few items, but certainly not for others. According to the blog the Sainsbury’s Basics Chocolate has a higher cocoa content than the standard Sainsbury’s chocolate bar, and from personal experience, their Basic’s tissues are just like the leading brand. The ‘Back to Sainsbury’s Basics’ is a great blog and if more people saw this blog and considered the benefits of switching some goods, we could all save a little more money in such hard times.
