Then I quit school to work in a factory and realised not only didn't they make their own pies (chicken curry / steak & Kidney etc pies) but they made the ones for the supermarkets n chippers n shops etc... That was an eye opener!! Dunno where I thought everyone else got them from.. Maybe I thought they each had a factory of their own to make them.. I dunno.. Then I realised brennan's made the bread for the supermarkets etc... And that was it... I was no longer a "eh I'm not eating that crap" BRAT!!
Back then of course my Mam done the shopping so the price of all my best brand foods didn't occur to me!! Now I'd say 80% of my trolley is supermarket own brand.. And not even coz i'm being cheap.. I buy the foods I prefer..
Like, I only like hellman's mayonaisse, so I buy that..But for like chicken fillets or that i'll buy shop own brand.. As long as it looks lean n fresh...
And I will say I do wash EVERYTHING I buy before I wear it... I know its weird but I have to.. Got an email YEARS ago about a girl who's bought a bra, wore it and got an infection in her nipple and it turned out while it was in the warehouse a foreign spider had crawled in, laid its eggs and they had somehow gotten into her pores....
Very probably made up but a minging pic was attached and it grossed me out so much that since then I've never worn anything straight from the shop... With the exception of footwear of course.. Not about to thro my stilettos into the washing machine ha ha
Ooh new baby cuddles.. jealous...
I do wash new bedding..feels so much better then lol.Hmm maybe with the spider! You never know!! I buy some branded things and some shops own.Alot of shop own you really can't taste the difference and some cleaning products are fine aswell,I guess it's trial and error to see if own brand taste or works just aswell!
