Buying Hombrand goods can save you up to 50%. But are they good for you? We find out. Most of the homebrand goods are under $5. So lets see how we go for a week.
First up I bought a packet of Homebrand Scotch fingers for $0.95. Normally a packet of Arnotts ones are $2.95. They were on special at the supermarket. Here these tasted not as sweet as the Arnotts one which I liked.
This week there was packet of microwave popcorn for about $1 per bag. I bought 2. Normal brands are priced between $3- $5. They weren't really buttery and the first packet that I bought all the popcorn had not popped
I also bought heaps of lollies. The party mix was $3.30 and the TV mix was $2.50. I also bought marshmellows at $2 each.They were the same as the ones outside. They tasted the same.
I also bought a can of Spaghettini for $0.55. It tasted like the Heinz can of spaghetti.
Its such a cold day that I bought some soup for $2.50. It was pumpkin soup that tasted like baby mash. But still it is great for a winters day.
At Coles I saw packets of pasta for $1, but not much instant noodles. I saw packets of rice for $2
Lessons learnt:
Homebrand is better and much cheaper for those that are trying to be on a budget. But its always just best to buy the basic things like milk and pasta as Homebrand goods. Sometimes treats are good too, such as lollies for the movies.
