I'm feeling a heck load better now, Mentioned in the Newsletter which is fantastic!
Right time to address a few things:
1. Yep This will return with the Smart Fox and Sainsburys own brands.
2. Markman has challanged me to a new test, can I go for a day with eating nothing but stuff you CAN'T get on the Tesco value range, eg. No Tinned spagetti or Tea because you can get em.
3. I will make sure on the future Value diets (Sainsburies, Asda etc.) I will get pictures! |

| Day 7 |
[Feb. 8th, 2006|12:00 am] |
The final day, its been fun... oh wait no it hasn't, its been a hell hole of White labels and "value". It feels good knowing I can eat normal stuff now, in fact.... I can finally start now.
Stuffed Badger Flaps, Just swigged down some coca cola and now I can understand how people feel after being beaten with large sticks then given a box of small weasels. its great.
Breakfast - Toast as per usual, Coffee - I don't feel bad about saying buy to Tesco Value Bread, I really don't.
Lunch - Jaffa cakes and Bourbons - I think my mind has cracked, I'm alright about eating Dry wall concealed as a biscuity treat.
Dinner - Tinned Spaghetti and Toast - Spaghetti is alright not brilliant but not bad, and when the bread has been mixed in a captain planet style it actually is bearable.
And that's it! ITS OVER.
Thanks to: Markman (The Irish Tesco man), Aydin (Supportive evil fur), dismantled_hear (Egging me on with out use of actual eggs), Robots (Because there brilliant), Cardmagician (THE HAIR), Kaziko (HAHA SCOTTISH), Drew (Laughing at kids with me),Jester (just because he has magical powers),B3ta (for the original idea), the other people who have read this and thought (what the fuck?). and finally Wheatgerm and Kit_kat for tempting me with normal food and getting the tesco stuff with me. |

| Day 6 |
[Feb. 6th, 2006|10:42 pm] |
I'm really really glad that its almost over, what with killer Pork Pies, Dry wall bourbons and Noodles that taste the same all the time, I'm surprised that I've survived this long, I thought this was going to be a complete piece of piss and It would just be a minor problem only eating Value Products, no its a god damn endurance trial of White with Blue stripes!
Breakfast - Toast, Butter and Coffee- as time goes on, the bread slowly tastes more and more like what I imagine the pink goo from Ghostbusters 2 tasting like.
Lunch - Bourbons - I'm thinking, if I combine this with Mayonnaise maybe I can make a small fort to defend myself against Tesco.
Mid afternoon snacking - Sausage rolls - One of the few shining lights in the value range.
Dinner - The value range has killed my want of Dinner |

| Day 5 |
[Feb. 5th, 2006|11:54 pm] |
Only 2 days left, and I begin with this on the filth day.
I haven't eaten Dry wall, I doubt I ever will (but you never know with life), but I do know one thing, if you have ever wanted to emulate dry wall, I'm pretty sure Tesco Value Bourbon biscuits are the closest thing you'll ever get.
Breakfast - who has time for that on a weekend?
Lunch - I can now officially confirm, Tesco value noodles are the same bloody thing no matter what type you get, They could make a human flavored one and it would taste the same as the curry one.
Dinner - Cottage pie - my kind mother bought me a cottage pie because she saw I was kinda running out of food. It was alright but the mash was similar to wall paper paste.
My mother has discovered a magic trick, Just because its value doesn't man you have to skimp, just shove a hell of a lot of Coffee Granules into your mug and chuck the water in, makes it bearable.
Wound up in the lions den of temptation, Kit_kat, Wheatgerm, Drew and Cardmagician were all chomping down on Nachos, argles and the little restaurant wasn't being shit tonight! |

| Day 4 |
[Feb. 5th, 2006|02:15 am] |
Missed Breakfast due to I woke up late, and skipped to lunch.
Lunch - BEEF! noodles and Sausages with Mayo - Not too bad on the whole, Noodles are still as bad as ever, The flavor is the same for each pack, Beef, Curry ah there the same thing.
Dinner - Lasagna - same as before but decided to Oven cook it, tastes a tad better, may not kill.
Late Night snacking - Bacon, Cheese spread and mayo Sandwich - Same as before, but this time the Bacon went a horrible yellow colour and tasted like cardboard.
I munched away on the Jaffa cakes and some Raspberry tarts today and both were tasty, although the tarts did seem to have a weird effect after a little while.
Been generally feeling worse, feeling like I've got a lot less energy than I should. |

| |  sick | ] |
Oh jesus! Oh jesus..... the horror.....
Pork pies... never..... never..... jus......t....no.
I feel really really ill right now, I think its the Tesco Value Cola, plus the Pork Pies that have done my stomach in, Markman (AHHHHH) said something about 3 Tesco Value Porkpies gave him Food Poisoning.... erp.
Jesus I've used alot of Full stops.
Breakfast: Toast, butter and Coffee (again)
Lunch: More Eclair's! EDIT - Remembered at last that I had Tomato Soup - it was so bad I blocked it out of my mind.
Dinner: Chicken Curry - The horror, the horror, As Vincent Price once said "Eating Tesco Value Chicken Curry, is like a fight with a deadly python. You'll always wind up regretting it and wondering where your wallets gone." It's alright, but the rice isn't anything amazing and the Curry only gave me a nervous twich.
Drink: Value Cola - Sugar Water thats black, thats all, I think thats what's given me the headache.
Snack: Pork Pie - Ah, it tastes good, at first, after a few seconds you get the feeling that its not all well and you wind up looking into a RJ45 going "I'll do it, I'll end it all" threatening to shove it in your mouth.
Weight: I think my Scales are busted, it says 13 1/2, I don't trust them. |

| Day 2 |
[Feb. 3rd, 2006|12:11 am] |
Still going strong, Kit-kats (Strawberry and White chocolate version) along with the chocolaty goodness of Lemon and Lime Jaffa cakes almost killed the challenge, but I have remained faithful to the blue striped diet of hell.
Breakfast - Same as yesterday
Lunch - No lunch for me! Just Eclairs which weren't bad, in fact they were damn tasty!
Dinner 1- Lasagna - Twas alright, but for some odd reason, it looked like it would want to come alive at its own desires, I think this because the cheese layer had made a clear attempt to kill the cellophane wrapping. Had some nice Apple Juice with it, hmm! Juice, gulped it down like a rabbit eats a fox.
Dinner 2- 4 sausages and Mayo - Jesus, the real challenge is opening them, then realising that they are impossible to get apart with out use of a sharp implement, which makes eating raw hard. Got them into a frying pan and served them with mayo, not half bad, but the fact I think I saw one winking at me was a clearly bad sign.
Guts are feeling alright, but feeling a slight effect.
Haven't weighed myself today, will do tomorrow morning. |

| Day 1 |
[Feb. 1st, 2006|11:14 pm] |
Weight: 14 stone
Breakfast: Bread, Butter (Toast) and Coffee - Toast was alright, but the butter wasn't brilliant, Coffee is bearable.
Lunch: Curry Noodles and Strawberry yogert thing - Noodles were awful, looked like a baby has puked after eating pasta, Yogert thing was good though.
Mid evening dinner: 2 Sausage Rolls and midget gems - Not bad! Although the spider eggs scared me. Gems went to fast.
Dinner: Bacon, mayo, cheese spread and bread, Coffee again - Not amazing, not bad either, Bacon cooked quickly which is a plus, but cheese changed colour quickly.
Not a bad day over all, temptation is hard with lots of little shops and vending machines, but I will make it! |

| Here it is... my food |
[Jan. 31st, 2006|09:44 pm] |
This is what I bought today, in its full glory! All of this came to £10 and one british Pence.
EDIT: Cardmagician just pointed out, I must stress - the PG tips aren't included. |

| So it begins... (Almost) |
[Jan. 31st, 2006|05:31 pm] |
Morning all, I decided to make the small challenge I set myself (based upon an idea found on a B3ta
newsletter) I will only eat items from the Tesco Value range for 1 week
(Starting Feb 1st). Taking from "Super Size me" I've decided to call
this "Tesco Value Me".
Now what are the rules of this? well simply put...
Items bought MUST have the Tesco Value Banner on them
Food and drink consumed MUST be of Tesco Value range (Except water)
I may use items that are not part of the range (Eg. Kettle, Cooker, Hobs etc.)
You might also be asking why I'm doing this? Well because I want to
find out if it is possible to live on Tesco Value range and nothing
else, For my General Studies coursework (awful reason) and also because
I chuckled about it when I read it in B3ta and kept saying "I'll do
that some day" well tomorrow is someday.
I'm a young College student in there second year, and play Dance Dance
Revolution and generally lead a not sporty but not couch potato life
style. I have my own LiveJournal (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) shadowmanx) which I will post bits and pieces in that aren't related to the Tesco Plan.
I went out today to buy the items I will be eating, and tried to stick
to a £10 budget. I was shocked and horrified to find..... I went a
penny over budget. I will post up a picture of the food along with the
Receipt (to show its legit) later tonight.
