Tesco Diet Cola

At some point earlier this year, I developed a rather expensive addiction to Diet Coke. At a time when money was tight and I was trying to cut costs, this was not helpful. I was shopping around, trying to find cans on buy one get one free. Eventually, a few months ago I decided it was time to bite the bullet and try own brand cola. I ordered a 12 pack of cans of Tesco diet cola when I was doing my shopping online. It was £2.31 (the price I had recently paid for a 6 pack of Diet Coke) so seemed like a really good bargain to me. The following day I bought a small bottle of M&S diet cola to go with my lunch, and started worrying I had wasted my money on the ...  Read the complete review

~*~ Tesco Diet Cola ~*~ I've always been a bit of a brand snob, and up until recently wouldn't have even thought about trying anything other that Coca-Cola cola, McVities biscuits or Smirnoff vodka. However! Hard times have changed all that and seen me venturing off in search for cheaper alternatives that are as good as the well known brands (or at least almost as good). Tesco's diet cola is my most recent find... ~*~ The packaging ~*~ The packaging of this brand is quite similar to diet coke's with regards to the colouring and style. The label is a silvery grey with red lettering for the word 'cola'. This makes you instantly ...  Read the complete review

You may have noticed I've not been around much this year. This has been due to several things; a demanding new job and (much more importantly) I've been busy transforming from Miss BondgirlK8 to Mrs BondgirlK8. Yay! This is important to this review as, although wonderful and very much worth it, weddings do tend to leave you a little bit skint. As a result, married life has kicked off with us watching every penny....even more than usual, which is saying something for someone as tight as me. So, we've been trying out the online shopping and the mysupermarket.co.uk method (note to self, must review that website one day) and it's amazing the amount we've saved by ...  Read the complete review

Cola is a favourite drink in this house. I know a lot of people don't drink it because of the caffeine content, or they don't let their children drink it. But I don't drink anything that's not caffeinated (unless it's alcoholic, and that's not often now) so I never feel any energy boosts from caffeinated drinks, I think I'm just too used to them. There's not a lot in the way of nutritional information for this product, it has 1calories per 100g or 3 per serving, which even with my poor mathematical ability means that a serving is classed as 300g. Although I though that it would have been measured in millilitres rather than grammes with it being a liquid, ...  Read the complete review

Supermarket brand soft drinks are incredibly hit and miss when they're the full-calorie deal, let alone when they're being as daring as to be Diet too! Nevertheless, if you're after something that's cheap and also a lot better for you than the regular version, you could go a lot further wrong than picking up a 2-litre bottle of this stuff, although beware that you're going to be sacrificing some of the taste as a result, and you really do get what you pay for! The only reason I've ever really bought the Diet stuff before, quite sadly, is because it's supposed to make you drunk quicker than the normal stuff because it lacks an enzyme in it that helps break down ...  Read the complete review
