    I've tried beans on toast (I live in the U.S.), and liked it well enough. It's not bad, but I prefer to cook black beans with a bit of oil (bacon drippings are best...just a little) and chili seasonings and serve them with cheese on top of blue corn sopes with a tiny dollop of sour cream and either salsa fresca or salsa verde. Generally, the cheese is either Monterrey Jack, cotija, or sharp cheddar. My recommendation of what to drink with it is either iced green tea with spearmint, tamarind soda, or mineral water with a bit of fresh lime juice. I'm a huge fan of Mexican food, Mexicali food, and Tex-Mex food...and I live in farmville central Cali so that shouldn't be a surprise. I would recommend trying it...though I don''t know how easy it is to get masa (blue is best, yellow is second best, but white is fine) in the U.K. If it is hard to get, I would still recommend the dry stuff online. It's also used to make tamales and can be used for all sorts of good stuff.

  • @LydiaTarine12

    I find videos like this really interesting because I've been known to try out store brand things out of sheer curiosity. Sometimes they become staples, sometimes they don't. ^_^ I _love_ the Sams choice microwave macaroni and cheese cups. They use a sauce rather than a powder so they're much better tasting than Easy Mac. They're also only $1 per cup, which is surprising.

  • @Matt19matt19
    @Matt19matt19 5 лет назад +1

    FYI they still do smart price bread. In white and brown, it's made by Kingsmill, the folk that also made the ones you bought. Maybe it's just not available when you order online.

  • @Matt19matt19
    @Matt19matt19 5 лет назад +13

    I've noticed even though it's smart price you still spend a lot per day. £12 today for the 2 of you which seems very expensive. I guess you've counted the whole pack of cheese for example even though you've not used all of it

    • @JustAnotherLondoner

    • @Artanis667
      @Artanis667 5 лет назад

      Well, considering here in the states, a decent fast food dinner would be at least £16 for two (and we're talking cheap mexican food place down the street) it's really not bad for a whole day. It's not uncommon for me to spend close to £8 per day on lunch alone, being to lazy to make lunch at home and bring it in.

  • @leeguest9133
    @leeguest9133 5 лет назад +2

    Loving these videos. Regarding the Baked Beans: my own experience is that if you cook them well in a saucepan, almost all can be really good. Added to this, Heinz ain't what it used to be - their Baked Beans and Sausages are pretty much the worst you can get nowadays (aldi better, Lidl better - Branston absolute top) a case of trusting the label regardless of the lowering quality.

    Make up the cake mix in regular cups. fill them up half way and microwave for about 2 minutes and they will come out as perfect little cakes (shuffle the cups around half way so that they get equal nuking).
    Less hassle.
    Or.. just use self raising flour, egg, milk, sugar and little butter. Do the same thing and make cakes for about 1/2 price of the packet mix.

    • @ChristopherDraws
      @ChristopherDraws 5 лет назад

      The butter is one of the least processed items - just pasteurised, churned milk and salt - so there's little the manufacturer can do to lower the basic cost of the product (i.e. by adding water, xantham gum, longer-acting preservatives, sweeteners).

    What I've wondered on this and the tesco value week on is, do you ever end up integrating some of the products you try into your daily life? Like the bean from today, you say they're pretty good and indistinguishable from higher priced items, but after the week on, do you go back and buy more of the same products to save money? if so, what have you continued to buy?
