With food prices rising, are there any big brand items you’ve swapped for cheaper versions and how do you feel about the change?

00:00I'm just very stingy, so I only buy the cheap stuff anyway, so I always have, always will,
00:04most probably, even though I could afford the more expensive stuff. I just never could see the point.
00:09I've been quite fortunate, and no, I haven't swapped any brands. I'm just very concerned
00:14about the animal welfare side of things, so clearly we need to have value brands,
00:18but I hope it doesn't impact on animal welfare. Something I probably consciously try and do more
00:23than anything else is try and buy brands that don't have too many things added to them,
00:29and you can get that from a cheaper supermarket. Always shopping at Aldi now. I can't afford to be
00:34shopping anywhere else, so all Aldi-owned brands, all the coffees are good enough for me. I don't need
00:41any high-end brands, except from Heinz. Heinz is the only thing that I'll actually go for. My criteria
00:48for buying things is probably different from whether it tastes really, really good. Maybe it's
00:54more if it's got sort of more natural ingredients, and then you can add things yourself.
