I am sure I am not the only one here noticing forever increasing prices in the shops which then results for my weekly shopping being more expensive. Trying to reduce amount of money I spend each week on food, I decided to try out some of the Sainsbury's basics products, one of them being the partbake baguettes I am about to review. I purchased those baguettes the other day whilst browsing in the bakery aisle during my weekly food shopping. The baguettes caught my eyes as they were laid out on the trolley separately from rest of the bakery products which made it stand out. I do love smell of freshly baked bread reminds me of home and my mum used to ...  Read the complete review

I've gone a bit mad on sandwiches and rolls at the minute and one thing I've been buying quite a lot is these Part Baked Baguettes from Sainsburys Basics. You get 2 long baguettes for about 40p and that's a bargain because next cheapest is over 80p and that's still Sainsbury own brand. You have to sprinkle water over them and cook the baguettes in the oven for about 10 mins. After a few minutes they start smelling like fresh bread baking and the smell of them makes my mouth water big time! I like having these plain with a bit of butter spread on them while they're still warm, this dead basic way of eating them is delish because the butter melts ...  Read the complete review

Sainsbury's Basics Partbake Baguettes Description: Manufacturer: Sainsbury's / Type: Bread. Anyone who regularly reads my reviews (many thanks!) will know that I review a lot of products from the supermarkets own ranges which offer savings to customers by spending less on fancy packaging. As we all know, the packaging just gets thrown away anyway so why spend extra on it just to chuck it into the bin! I have recently become a convert to the Sainsbury's Basics range, whereas before, I confess that I passed it by, assuming that the cheap and nasty packaging meant that the product would also be cheap and nasty. I have been pleasantly ...  Read the complete review

I can thoroughly recommend these incredibly cheap part-baked baguettes. Although I can't pretend to be a great connoisseur of bread, I have been unable to detect any difference in taste or quality between the Sainsbury's Basics part-baked baguettes and the Sainsbury's standard range of part-baked products. I suspect the flour used in the Basics range may be of a lower grade but it would take a very refined palate to detect the difference. The packaging is simple with the distinctive orange and white Basics label, the price is very low at just a shade under 40p, which is roughly half the price of the standard part-baked range, and the shelf life is ...  Read the complete review

On my usual quest to reduce my evergrowing food bill, I came across Sainsbury's Basics Partbake Baguettes. I usually buy their own brand anyway as I find these type of things useful to store in the cupboard. I love warm bread rolls and as I can't be bothered to bake them myself from scratch, these are the next best thing. I must admit on visual inspection, you can tell that you are buying a basic brand as the bagettes themselves are thinner than the standard brand and slightly flatter, but as there was a 40p difference in price, the difference in size was not considerable. After preheating the over place the bread directly on the oven shelf and ...  Read the complete review
