Asda Smartprice Cling Film

Any regular readers of my reviews will know that for some time now I have been making a huge effort to reduce the cost of our weekly grocery shopping, mainly because we are saving like mad for our wedding, but also because I am unable to work due to my ill health and therefore we have a limited income. With this in mind, I have been actively trying out supermarket-own branded items, in a bit to save some pennies! Many of these have proven to be a worthwhile switch from our regular brands, but others have been less successful. One cheaper-than-usual product that I tried out for the first time recently was the 'Asda Smartprice' cling film. I chose ...  Read the complete review

Cling Film is used for wrapping up foods as part of good food hygiene and for keeping things fresh and germ free in the fridge or even just out on the table at a barbeque or party. There are some things in life that I refuse to pay a lot of money for if I can get it cheaper and for similar quality and this is one of those products because it's just 35p for 45 metres and you when you can't buy much for your money this is an absolute bargain. Inside the green & white Smartprice cardboard box is the roll of clingfilm and it's relatively easy to find the end to begin with and inside the box are cardboard teeth which make it much easier to break off ...  Read the complete review

Cling film is a funny old thing; does it ever really have much of a use? We use it to wrap sandwiches, but since they then just go into the lunch-box, I never really know whether it's neccessary. Still, for 40p, you get 45 metres of the stuff, which can't be bad. I would have to say I've never found a brand that does a better job (and we've tried all sorts over the years). The metal serated teeth on the box make it easy to tear off which is something you don't get in every box. The good thing about it is it keeps things fresh. It's surprisingly strong unless you poke a hole in it, so it keeps stuff covered well. It's also so thin it kind of shrink ...  Read the complete review

Cling film and I have a bit of a love hate relationship; I love what it does but I hate how you get it to do what it does. It has taken many years of blood,tears and sweat to get to apoint where I am nearly happy about using the stuff and I am even at a point where I could be classed as a 'pro' when it comes to unrolling, ripping and wrapping! My hubby on the other hand is far from this stage and I have kindly asked him to refrain from using it because whenever I get it out of the cupboard after him, it's either an unusable mess or I spend hours trying to find the end. Normally I wouldn't go near a cheap cling film because they end up ripping and doesn't even ...  Read the complete review

Overview ------------ As anyone who reads or follows my dooyoo ramblings will know. I like to save a little cash at the supermarket, as it really allows me to do the things I enjoy. Therefore, I generally skip items such as cling film as they are not essential, but on this occasion, seeing the price, i decided i could do with a little to wrap up my sandwiches for the day! General Info --------------- Cling film can be used for a multitude of different tasks, but mainly, in my household, its used for wrapping up food in order to keep it fresh. For example, open a tin of tuna, don't want it all, so put half back in the fridge ...  Read the complete review
