White bread

Hovis soft medium sliced, £1.20 for 800g

Waitrose Soft White Toastie, £1.10 (800g) PERFECT for toast but unpleasantly soft in sandwiches. 3/5 Sainsbury’s, 70p (800g) LIGHT and spongy all-rounder. 4/5 Tesco, 70p (800g)

RICH flavour, light texture and satisfyingly filling. Stays fresh so you won’t waste any. 5/5 Morrisons Medium White, 79p (800g)

GOES stale almost as soon as you open the packet. 2/5 Asda Square Cut Medium Loaf, 70p (800g)

SOFT and tasty, stays impressively fresh for days. 4/5 Co-op Bakery Farmhouse, 95p (800g)

I WOULD expect more flavour at this price. 3/5 Aldi Village Bakery White Farmhouse,

69p (800g) DISAPPOINTINGLY dry. 3/5 Lidl Rowan Hill Bakery Thick White Toastie, 65p (800g)

UNEVENLY sliced, the crusts were so thin I fed them to the birds. 3/5 STAR SWAP: TESCO
