Cheapskate that I am, I'm a firm believer in buying own brands...however...I have just come unstuck...I ran out of coffee and the OH was on her way to Waitrose, so I asked her to pick me up some own brand, rich blend coffee.

Tastes like crap...don't buy it...it's alright if you chuck some vanilla on it to flavour it out, but only if you put enough in that it takes the flavour out of it completely, so I'm not sure if I have a sugar rush, caffeine rush or just a rush of relief that I didn't feel like throwing up afterwards right now.

Anyway..if you have any negative home brand reviews on here then stick em down and maybe we can all shop own brand with far more confidence...

Once, when I was a student, I bought Kwik Save Own Brand Tea Bags. The orange juice was OK, so I thought the teabags might be alright too. How wrong I was...

Don't touch own brands. They're shite.

Own label products can be very good indeed, however if you go looking for cheap versions of naturally expensive products such as Coffee, don't be surprised of you get a rude awakening. Some things just can't be done cheaply.

To be fair those jars are excellent for keeping assorted nuts and bolts in. Just tip the coffee straight out.
