Tesco Finest* Pasta Perfection

After being Invited to the Tesco Finest Pasta programme from the Orchard at Tesco, which enabled me to try 2 packets of Pasta from the Tesco Finest range for free, I chose Finest Gigli and Finest Fusilli Lunghi Col Buco.

I have now tried the Gigli pasta which I served with a tomato based sauce with chicken and chorizo for myself and 3 friends from work at our weekly get together.

The pasta was simply divine and you could really tell a big difference when comparing it to cheaper brands or even the more expensive market leading brands.

I have never had dried pasta from a supermarket that tasted so good and neither had my 3 friends, it was so tasty and the sauce I made complimented it perfectly.

The pasta held it’s shape really well and was cooked to perfection in 8 minutes and the whole meal took me about 40 minutes to prepare and serve from start to finish, enabling me to spend more time with my guests.

At £1.70 per pack this is more than I usually pay for pasta but it is so much better than other brands I have tried and it is well worth the money, and I, as well as my guests will definitely be buying Tesco Finest Pasta from now on. #TriedForLess

Flowers From Tesco

So I got invited to take part in the Flowers from Tesco programme by the wonderful people from the Orchard at Tesco and received a £5 coupon to use towards a bunch of fresh flowers from Tesco, as well as 3 pass along coupons to hand to friends and family.

The range of flowers at my local Tesco was huge, but I think that was something to do with mothers day approaching.

I chose a lovely spring bouquet which cost £5, so I got them for free.

It was a lovely full bouquet with beautiful white, green, red and purple flowers included and all I had to do when i got home was trim them down a bit and put them in a vase.

They smelled absolutely wonderful in my living room and visitors to my house commented on the aroma as well as the freshness of the flowers.

My bouquet lasted 11 days before they had to be thrown away which I think represents excellent value for money and I wouldn't hesitate in buying Tesco flowers again. #TriedForLess.
