Morrisons 'value' Toilet Roll

Whilst technically useable, I'm less in favour of this one. Its flimsy, its mediocre in a really annoying way.  The main upside is that its cheap, and if I need some desperately, its useable.  

Cost 1-10 with ten the most expensive: 1
Value for money 1-10 with ten being the best: 4
Durability 1-10 with ten being the most: 3
Usefulness 1-10 with ten being the most: 8
Importance 1-10 with 10 being the most: 10
Smile Factor 1-10 with ten being the most: 
Cool Factor: 1-10 with ten being the most: 1

*Do I think its the best in its field: NO
*Could I live without it: NO
*Target gender, age range, and possible further demographic targets : Adults, Female, Male

Tesco Value Tissues

I'm not fragile about my tissues, they needn't be soft, or scented, or anything else.  Not being like sandpaper would be a decent start, and if I've been ill for awhile I start to wonder about my wisdom.  The truth is, though, you save absolutely loads by buying value tissues (either from tesco or morrison's.)  If you use about one box of tissues a year, fine, buy a pretty and soft box to impress people and ignore it.  If you use them at all regularly, you'll notice the pounds you are saving.  

That said, the old red stripe Tesco value tissues were a bit softer and more overall useful. They've made the boxes bigger, rebranded them, and turned them into harder and more sandpaper like tissues in the process. It doesn't look like all boxes have been mistreated equally (tho I must admit I also find the rebranded style ugly and annoying.)  Still, what was previously fairly unequivocal is now guarded, and coming out in favour of their near competitors.

Morrison's 'Savers' Kitchen Foil

I have mixed feelings on this one, for the purposes that I wanted it for, it comes up short.  However, those are not at all the purposes it was designed for, and it does well at those.  To wit, I mostly use my foil for cooking, and whilst it survives the process admirably, it does let fat/oil leak into the pan.  


For its intended purposes of wrapping food its fantastic, and I've had no breakage problems in the freezer, in handbags, or anywhere really. If you need wrapping foil regularly, its a great way of saving money.  If you have to try and make it work for cooking, it sort of does.  Proper cooking foil is better for cooking though, and I don't wrap things too often, leading to in my case lower scores on usefulness and necessity.
