I love Lidl. I get so much more for my money and their jams are the best.

I am a recent convert to Aldi, especially the beauty and laundry products.

Lurpak spreadable. From time to time I try alternatives, but nothing comes close.

No one really beats Lakeland though do they? Maybe John Lewis match them, almost. Will return if I think of an alternative to throw into the mix.

Yeo Valley full-fat Greek yoghurt.
I feel deprived if I can’t have it for breakfast.

My Miele C3 vacuum cleaner, the best I’ve ever had.

I love NEXT clothing but not their shoes. Sandals are ok but shoes always tear my feet to shreds until they are broken in . Clothes are on trend , of course and well made using nice fabrics . My only criticism of clothes is the sleeves are very slim so I have to be careful what style I order.

Oh I love Lakeland !! It’s full of gizmos and gadgets I didn’t even know I needed Cari ! One of my favourite brands is First Direct!

But of an odd choice I know but I’ve been with them for nearly 20 years and they are the best bank I’ve ever been with by miles !

I'm happy to kick things off by nominating Lakeland. I can pore over their catalogues for hours on end. I have a set of magnetic measuring spoons that I bought from them years ago and they are still the most useful things I have in my kitchen. And I am a sucker for bakeware

We are constantly looking at the way we work with brands and thought it might be useful to ask which ones you like best, why, and what you would tell them they were doing right/wrong if you had the chance. We would also love to know about any products you particularly like from your favourite brands too
