Has anyone found an "own brand" Coffeemate that still tastes good, please?

I used to buy Tesco’s own brand, as it was cheaper, but they no longer stock it at my shop.

So I now use proper Coffeemate, from my local ‘cheap’ shop, as it is ‘cheaper’ there. It’s better than the own brand, I think.

Sainsbury’s. But Coffeemate is cheaper in Lidl

We buy Coffeemate from Lidl. Never found a satisfactory substitute.

Aww I used to love coffeemate, but since I was diagnosed with IBS, cannot use such things that are powdery… it’s really not worth the agony if I did.

Coffeemate is one of my staple buys from Tesco. I guess coffee whiteners are so popular Tesco and the Coop don't have to bother making their own brands.

Dh likes Coffeemate. I prefer milk. He buys it at Aldi or Home Bargains where it’s much cheaper than in the Renault supermarkets.

He’s never found an adequate non-branded substitute, btw.

Renault supermarkets? A supermarket in a car would be very small indeed! grin. Regular is the word I (mis)typed.

I just love the longlife Oatly barista in a coffee.

I only keep it in for run-out-of-milk emergencies - currently a jar of Asda coffee whitener. Tastes all right to me.

Tesco and Co-op wouldn't actually make their own brands.......they would buy a cheaper, substandard product from a manufacturer.

H194. Thanks for the info. I take it you are not a Nestles publicity woman.
