Sainsbury's Basics Cooked Ham Reviews

I recently bought a packet of Sainsbury's Basics Cooked Ham for my kids sandwiches to take to school and I kind of thought that this ham would be okay for sandwich meat. It cost me £1.65 for a packet of the ham which contained 30 slices and so this equated to 5p per slice. Simply from an economical point of view this is obviously a ...  Read the complete review

A place I don't normally shop is in Sainsbury's. Not for any sinister reason really but that I don't have one locally to where I live but I do have a local Tesco's and Asda. However my best mate likes to shop in Sainsbury's and occasionally she buys bits and pieces for us to enjoy at my flat and the other night she bought us a ...  Read the complete review

I have always been a little dubious with regard to the quality of the fresh Basic & Value products that are on offer but in another cost cutting exercise I thought I would try Basics Cooked Ham. The ham is located with the other cooked meats, usually on the bottom shelf (as with the majority of the basics brand - it's ...  Read the complete review

Sainsbury's Basics Cooked Ham In our attempt to save a little money on the food bills, we have started trying out a few of the basics range from Tesco, Sainsbury's and Asda. I feel that the bits we have got so far are a bit hit and miss. Some products such as basic bread is either too dry or literally fall apart and is ...  Read the complete review

Sainsburys have put a lot of effort and advertising money into promoting the quality of their higher end own brand food range, for which Jamie Oliver is the painted lady on the flagship of the supermarket's promotional armada. However, rather surprisingly, Sainsburys have almost neglected any public promotion of their basics range. I ...  Read the complete review

Despite the no frills packaging, Sainsbury's Basics Cooked Ham is surprisingly tasty and great value. At only £1.38 for 400g, that's approximately 30 slices, it is very reasonably priced. The slices are quite thin but the packet is sold by weight rather than number of slices so there is no need to feel cheated by this. I was a bit ...  Read the complete review

For people who read my reviews regular will know I love my food and snack a lot and my wife was shopping in Sainsbury's recently and was looking for something cheap for snacking and she saw this Ham and thought she would buy it as it was very cheap. It comes in a plastic container with a pull off plastic top, and with the ...  Read the complete review

Basics cooked ham is available from Sainsburys for £1.64 for 30 slices and this is just such a reasonable price when compared to other products that are available on the supermarket shelf. The packaging of this product is very basic as it is just in a plastic case with a peel back plastic lid. Once I've opened my cooked ham I ...  Read the complete review

Yet another one of my budget buys from my experimental Sainsburys shop! I love sandwiches, they're such a quick and handy snack, and my favourites are ham and cheese. So, when I went to Sainsburys, I decided I had to grab some ham for a sandwich, and me being the utterly impoverished cheapskate that I am, I opted for a pack of ...  Read the complete review

Ham, ham and more ham. Every time I go to a supermarket just to get some bloody ham, I am met with a plethora of choices. You almost need a website to compare the ham pros and cons and help you with your decisions. Depending on your budget, and what you want the ham for, this could be a good one to go for. What you get is a ...  Read the complete review

I like to try and save money wherever possible so decided to give this 'Basics' Cooked ham a try in the place of my normal Sainsbury's ham to save myself around £1.50. There are 30 square cut slices of reformed ham that has been cooked and cured with added water. There is 75% pork in each slice which is obviously less than ...  Read the complete review

I have been slowly trying to shift down a brand with my food shopping over the last few months and to be fair I have found that some supermarket's economy brand products are actually a good value for money trade - but this is not one of them. I bought the Sainsbury's Basics British Cooked Ham for £1.64 for 400g which ...  Read the complete review

I am currently on a mission to see if Sainsburys basics are really value for money or just cheap rubbish. As a result you may find many reviews from me in this area. Sainsburys cooked ham is one that I wasn't looking forward to, the reason being that it's reformed ham and is pumped full of water. Nevertheless I thought it was only ...  Read the complete review

The supermarkets own labels have always been popular and with the added financial pressure we are all under at the moment to find cheaper alternatives I am sure that they have become even more popular. On the whole I am happy to buy almost anything `basic` to try out. If I find that I don't like it then I don't buy it again, ...  Read the complete review
