Sainsbury's Basics Medium Sliced White Loaf Reviews

On the face of it, there should be a compelling case for buying this on a regular basis rather than the "by Sainsbury's" range, or the branded breads. The ingredients list reads almost identical to the others, as does the nutrition information. And compared to the other 800g loaves, it's surprisingly cheap, at just 50p it is ...  Read the complete review

I called into the nearest supermarket on my way home which happened to be Sainsbury's. I needed a loaf and seeing the price of my usual in-there I grabbed Sainsbury's Basic Bread instead for 50p. The next one up is their own brand at 75p. Being in their orange basic wrapper it's easy to spot. The weight is 800g which is the ...  Read the complete review

The Sainsbury's basics range has always seemed patronizing to a poor starving fool like me. We all know 'basics' range means 'you're poor, and this is what you have to eat now HA HA' range. This is the same reason we know that the real reason mums go to Iceland is because of terrible poverty, not to buy their Kentucky Fried Lasagne bites ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to bread i buy and actually prefer basics bread. Its not too thick and stodgy and not heavy on the pocket either. Sainsburys basics bread is like a few other supermarkets with regards to price at 47pence a loaf. It comes as a standard 800g loaf size in basic clear bag with the signature orange and white print the ...  Read the complete review

I was recently bowled over by the great quality of Sainsbury's Basics Wholemeal bread, so I had high hopes when trying Sainsburys Basics White Bread for the first time. At 47p per loaf, it seemed like a real money saver. Unlike the wholemeal variety, however, Sainsbury's Basics White Bread is a real disappointment on the ...  Read the complete review

I will begin by saying that I think this bread tastes much better if it is toasted. It also has a better texture. When not toasted the bread can be a bit doughy. If, however, you toast it and have it with beans, spaghetti and cheese etc, then it provides a filling, satisfying and nutritious snack: and most important of all it is very ...  Read the complete review

Bread for under 50p will always arouse my suspicions - like cheap meat and cheap women, there is a chance you will get something nasty. Fortunately I have not succumbed to any illness from this bread and it is, surprisingly, fit for purpose. There is a noticeable quality difference between this and almost any other loaf on ...  Read the complete review

Sainsbury's Basics Medium Sliced White Loaf -A Wishy-washy product from Sainsbury's I normally adore Sainsbury's value range products as they are of good quality and also value for money. However this one proved to be contrary to my expectation. The packaging is no different from the basic range product. It is ...  Read the complete review

I usually like sainsburys basic range. However i was quite dissapointed with this bread. It is very cheap, at about 47p a loaf but you can tell why. The bread is VERY this and flakey. The bread is fine if you toast it and cover it in peanutbutter but if you have it in a sandwhich it doen not taste right. I have started spending a ...  Read the complete review

I find that I like Warburton's Bread for Sandwiches, but any cheap Bread seems nice enough for Toast. The Bread doesn't seem to taste that hard and spongy when it is Toasted. Unfortunately I picked this up the other night when coming home. There was only a couple of loafs left, and I thought this one would be ok. It was an emergancy ...  Read the complete review

Being a student feeding myself on a fairly small budget, I have to cut back on costs as much as possible. Sainsbury's Basics Bread is a good way to do that. It is still quite cheap (just under 50p) despite having fallen victim to a fairly large price hike in recent months. For what you pay for it, this is good stuff. It is ...  Read the complete review

When I first became a student, I saw this in the supermarket and thought, "Fantastic! Now I can save even more money by buying Basics bread!" What a naïve opinion. The only thing that's good about this bread is the price. You can buy it for about 30p. But it's a false economy because you won't be able to eat ...  Read the complete review

I eat loads and loads of bread (I really do) It's a massive problem for my Mother who is the one that buys it and she's always going mad at me. I can eat 6 slices toast in one day and that's without a sandwich and stuff through out the day! I just love the stuff and it makes up the bulk of my diet! The ...  Read the complete review

Before my current relationship, I'd bought Sainsburys basics white medium sliced bread quite regularly, and at 38p a loaf as it was then it was pretty good value. Of the basics range offered by the main supermarkets Sainsburys was far superior to the others and actually stayed fresher longer. Unfortunately it's not ...  Read the complete review

As anyone who has read my other reviews will know, I had a very tight budget and live for a bargain. Partly through being a student, partly through being silly with credit cards, I've learnt to appreciate the cheaper things in life. And that applies more than ever when it comes to the staple parts of my diet, bread being one of ...  Read the complete review
