00:00I tend to go to an Avda, which is local, and they have their own yellow brand, and I can't fault it.
00:06I had a piece of, a joint of beef that was as good as any I've had.
00:10You can have, like, the most cheapest of ingredients, genuinely,
00:14and yet you can produce, like, exquisite, like, mac and cheese, for example.
00:18I've experienced this with, um, well, I think it's Sainsbury's I had this,
00:21with, like, their Taste the Difference cheese, I think it was.
00:24They had two cheeses out in front of you.
00:26One was Sainsbury's brand, and one was, like, Taste the Difference or something,
00:30and I genuinely, I had both.
00:31I'm not even joking, absolutely no difference.
00:33It was all, it was all just red Leicester to me.
00:35I do actually go to Morrisons, and I use Savers a lot.
00:38There's a lot of Savers products there, which are a lot cheaper than, actually, other main brands,
00:42and, for example, Morrisons do their own, um, soups as well,
00:46and their soups are much cheaper than Heinz's,
00:48and I saw a survey recently online that said that Heinz's tomato soup is a very good soup,
00:53but it said Morrison's was better than theirs.
00:55It's usually, like, sauce and stuff that I get,
00:57you know, like, ketchup and brown sauce, whatever, that's it.
