Sainsbury's Basics Medium Wholemeal Bread

Sainsbury's Basics Wholemeal Bread costs 50 pence for a sliced loaf, containing 800g. I have bought this loaf of bread a few times recently, and have been pleased with it's quality as an everyday bread. We have used it for sandwiches, toast and also to make some breadcrumbs to keep in the freezer. It toasts well and is good with a variety of sandwich fillings.

Each slice contains - 78kcals 14.3g carbohydrates 0.8g fat 2.4g fibre 0.32g salt The ...  Read the complete review

Review of Sainsbury's Basics Wholemeal Bread ~~The Product~~ I am reviewing Sainsburys Basics Wholemeal Bread, one of the many lines introduced to the supermarket's budget range of foodstuffs and household goods. ~~Packaging, Storage Advice, Taste and Texture~~ The 800g loaf of medium sliced bread is simply packaged in a transparent polythene wrapper.

This product is available in Medium from Sainsburys around 50p in Sainsburys. This is a very reasonable price for a loaf of bread and you get around 20 slices on average in the bag also these are really thin slices (in my opinion) not medium ones.

I like nice bread but on occasions I find that I am running out of the shopping budget money towards the end of the month and have to make a few sacrifices in areas. I either opt for this or the Tesco cheap brand depending on where I am shopping. The loaf costs 45p and in comes in one size which is 'medium'. This bread isn't amazing but it isn't bad either.

One of the things I often find that can be a problem with the cheaper loaves is that they split as you are trying to ...  Read the complete review
