Several years ago I went through a phase where I only ate Bran Flakes for breakfast, I loved them but after a particularly bad tummy bug I went right off them. While browsing around my local Tesco recently I decided I quite fancied them again and picked up a box of Tesco Everyday Value Bran Flakes. I have tried a lot of the Everyday Value range and found most of it to be good value for money, the Everyday Bran flakes cost 88p for a 750g box. Everyday Bran Flakes are sold in a regular style cardboard box that most cereals come in, this is a beige colour, the front of the box has the Tesco Everyday Value logo across the top where it also informs the customer ...  Read the complete review

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and for many years I did not eat any, but I do now as I am getting older my way of life has changed and I started to use these bran flakes around a year ago and I like them, they are a from the Value range and cost 79p for a 750g box which is excellent value for a breakfast cereal. They come in a large cardboard box and can easily be opened from the top with a little flap opening to reveal the inner hard plastic bag to keep the cereal fresh and dry, the flakes are a very good size and are crispy, crunchy and light, they are dark brown in colour and not very pale like some other lower brands, I think they are ...  Read the complete review

Generally I am not particularly a morning person - waking up and getting dressed is about my limit before eight o'clock. Therefore, I sometimes struggle getting to breakfreak, especially if the cereal I am currently eating isn't exciting or edible. So, when I decided to try a super market own brand of one of my classic, "boring but yummy" cereals - the All Bran - I was surprised with the outcome. Packaging The box is classically recognisable as a budget, supermarket brand product. It is clean, simple and avoids any fussiness, simple stating the name, the brans, five words of description and the nutritional information on the front. ...  Read the complete review

Tesco own brand Branflakes to me are as good as the real thing. 750gm packs cost about 78p compared to £2.26 for the same size pack for Kelloggs Initial smell is of bran, initial taste is quite sweet with little after taste but they are very crunchy and quite filling. They are a pleasing colour and texture and delicious with cold milk, though some may prefer them soggy in warm milk. The meaningful ingredients are 75% wholewheat, wheat bran, sugar and barley malt extract, salt and then the added minerals and vitamins, so they is no rubbish in this product. The insoluble fibre, the bit that is good as part of a healthy bulky diet, is 14% ...  Read the complete review

As you may be aware ( that is if you have read any of my other reviews and if not WHY?) my youngest is going away to Uni in two days boo hoo! so like a mad woman I'm making up food boxes left, right and centre. All the family tell me that I'm feeding just one and not the entire Uni, but mums will be mums. So after hubby saw the sixth large box of food on the dining room floor this morning, knowing that I haven't finished just yet ( I've still got 2 days left after all!) He went to work and phoned the hire van centre and changed the small van for a large Transit instead. Now having worked out that if I do different boxes for different foods he will find what he ...  Read the complete review
