What the wife buys is another matter...

Myself I prefer "Marmite" over the Asda brand.

AHEM! no.. I was referring to my wife, not Incog...

That would be the "Marmite over Incognitas" thread thats posted elsewhere..... lol

Myself when shopping I will get the shops own brand if I think it is of equal quality and lower price. Often they are made by the same company that makes the named brands in the first place.
I.E. the crisp manufacturer that just closed a factory..

However, Marmite is a different matter, I prefer "Marmite sandwiches" to "Yeast Spread sandwiches", it sort of sounds better, let alone tastes better.....lol
