Great in the summer. Fizzy water might be the world's best invention

Nice as a fizzy replacement for beer for us that need help doing so

How about toilet roll? Must be quilted imo.

Sausages containing at least 70% meat ; Walls' sausages are an affront to nature.

Absolutely.

I purchased a soda stream a couple if years back. Brilliant little investment

'Compromise' on pretty much everything. Processed food you think tastes better in my opinion is mainly due to nostalgia and familiarity, budget supermarket gear is no less quality in my experience.

I could name a few where you buy the best quality possible though.

Bacon - buy the best. Cheap is loaded with water and you'll use twice as much to get the same flavour cooking with it. Same with cheap cheese flavour wise as the wise @COYBL25 mentioned.

Tinned tomatoes - always buy whole tomatoes not chopped, they are of a lesser grade.

Don't compromise on cheap cut meats or pate. Or any processed meats. Read your ingredients. My missus doesn't go shopping with me anymore because I study the labels so intensely, putting more effort into selecting the right sausages than I ever do into my actual job.

I was going to mention Walls sausages! Absolute vile things

We've started to go down the less meat but better quality route. It's such an improvement and you look forward to eating it as opposed to just going through the motions

Bagels

They have to be the New York Company ones.

I've tried others, but they don't come close to those

Thank me later

Racking my brain though always go for proper Monster Munch.

Aldi ones are stale texture and the hot ones are too burny less sweet.

Where can I find these?

Sainsbury’s and Tescos have them but don’t seem to always stock them, Ocado and Waitrose always have them.

Heinz tinned spaghetti.
Napolitana or better tinned tomatoes.
Proper marmite.
Pasties - will only buy in Cornwall, or Devon if they've come from Cornwall, and from certain bakeries.
Jam and pickle - Bay Tree. I feckin' love overpriced condiments and preserves, and cheap jam tastes like arse.
Colmans English Mustard.

Clarks shoes for my kids, properly fitted.

Costa & Mollica pizzas.
