Advantages: Inexpensive, acceptable taste and texture.
Disadvantages: Not a lot of taste.
---Product---
White loaf from the Tesco Value range.
Suitable for vegetarians.
---Why I Buy---
I often get the Tesco Value Bread these days - mainly because of the price - and the fact that if you do not finish off the whole loaf you don't feel too guilty feeding the remainder to the birds!
---Price---
47p for 800 gram loaf.
Currently selling for just 47p it is a good staple food and I always keep some in my freezer.
----My Opinion---
Would not say it actually has much flavour - but used in toasted sandwiches or with beans on it is quite acceptable.
Granted sometimes I treat myself to an expensive 'proper' loaf which I enjoy for its own sake - but for general family use this is quite acceptable.
I use it mostly as toast - but only because I tend to eat more toast. It is ok if you want it in sandwiches too - but obviously a home-made loaf has a better smell and taste.
With beans, eggs or cheese and onions it makes great toast and toasted sandwiches.
---Would I Recommend?---
Yes - if you are after an inexpensive staple food.
Lots of people would like to buy the more speciality breads but the constraints of their budgets prevent this. Therefore this is a perfectly acceptable bread that is actually edible and is not too doughy.
---Star Rating---
3 stars - its perfectly adequate to eat with other things but not the sort of bread you would want to eat on its own.
---Pros---
Inexpensive, acceptable taste and texture.
---Cons---
Not a lot of taste.

Summary: Inexpensive but an ok family staple
