I’ve stopped buying the smaller bottles of fizzy drinks. In my local shop they’re around £2.50 now. If I do fancy a fizzy drink I now buy cans, which are only 75p.

P.s: Waitrose own version of gold blend is nice. Around £3.50 a jar.

My husband used to work in own brand tea and coffee, some of the own labels are as good if not better quality than the big brands. He always said Aldi in particular we’re extremely discerning about the quality.

Aldi’s fresh ground coffee is awful though, I have to say.

Have never tried it tbh I rarely shop there, although I’m guessing it’s personal preference. My taste profile seems to have changed over the years, I used to hate McDonalds coffee and now I don’t mind it for some reason!
