Sainsbury's Basics Teabags Reviews

I am very much of the opinion that there are some items you can go economy on (such chopped tomatos, beans) and some which you just cant, T-Bags being one of them. I tried these quite recently due to all the media hype about supermarket value products being just as good as branded ones, espeically during the credit crunch when we're ...  Read the complete review

I only have 1-2 cups of Tea a year, but I do like Tea. Why do I drink so little? Well i'm not entirely sure, and people think i'm weird for my small consumption. My favourite brand is Tetley, and I have to have it with half full of Milk. I guess the term is lighthouse tea - near water, but it's how I like it. Last week we were at a ...  Read the complete review

Before I start writing about this product, I have to tell you that I am not an avid tea drinker, I barely drink the stuff and you will often find me with a glass of water in my hand. This review is coming from someone who does not have a first class honors degree in tea and the making of it so you might not want to take what I say as gospel and ...  Read the complete review

It's quite rare for me to drink tea or coffee as I am generally a fan of cold drinks no matter what the time of year. However, I recently was offered a cup of tea at my Mum's place and promptly said yes as I was in a tea drinking kind of mood! My Mum brought me over a cup of tea with two sugars in and when I took a sip I was instantly ...  Read the complete review

80 teabags for 28p? It seems to be such a ridiculous price that most people will just by pass them in favour of a brand name. Last week we had a walk to Sainsbury's and the Other Half was sussing out the Basics range with a keen eye. I could see him eyeing up the Basics teabags and as much as I tried to steer him away and change the ...  Read the complete review

These days few people can't afford to pay over the odds for anything and I'm quite happy to try the cheapest/ basics products. However tea is something I'm a bit funny about in so far as I always buy the fairtrade type. There are lots of budget type fairtrade tea now and I usually go for Sainsburys red label which is lovely and quite cheap. ...  Read the complete review

Recently I was in my local Sainsbury's and they were giving out small cups of piping hot tea and asking what brand people thought it was, I knew straight away that it was none of the top brands as it was a little bland but thought it was perhaps Sainsbury's own or some of the budget brands they have started stocking. I was completely shocked when ...  Read the complete review

My husband and I are currently on a quest to save as much money as possible for our big holiday at the end of the year. There are just the two of us so we thought we'll set ourselves a £100 budget for our monthly shop. Well so far it's going pretty well. We manage to do weekly shops for around £26 so we'll be slightly over but not by ...  Read the complete review

As i'm on an economy drive I decided to try out the Sainsbury's basic teabags. I have tried various items from the basics range and some of them are actually quite nice. I'm the only tea drinker in my household and i'm not really that fussy when it comes to tea - as long as it's got sugar and milk in it, that's fine. The saving for ...  Read the complete review

I have to confess to being more of a Coffee drinker than tea, my other half however loves nothing better than a cuppa, and she probably guzzles a dozen or more cups a day (maybe a slight exaggeration). So anyway, on one of the few occasions where I was entrusted with the grocery shopping, I thought I would be sneaky and purchase these ...  Read the complete review

My mum has been buying Sainsbury's Basics Teabags for a while now and her reason behind buying them is that both her and my Dad are both coffee drinkers so the only time they use tea bags is when they have visitors which is becoming less and less often. Unfortunately for me I am one of those tea drinking visitors that has to put up with ...  Read the complete review

Recently I have been buying Tesco's own brand Value tea bags, as they are very cheap, and we do not have as much money coming in as we used to, when I worked full-time before becoming a mother. Occasionally, I go and do some shopping in Sainsbury's (Tesco's is nearer) and the last time I was there I bought a box of their Basics Tea Bags. There are ...  Read the complete review

When I was very young, I remember my Grandma serving tea. There were no teabags in those days and the leaf tea would be spooned into the brown earthenware teapot, one spoonful per person and one for the pot! The pot would then be encased in its knitted, pompom-topped cosy whilst the tea was left to "draw". After an appropriate time ...  Read the complete review
