Tesco RULE - Student Starter Set

Went to Tesco Extra today to get things for uni, had started putting a few pots and pans in the trolley, before I noticed the student starter pack, for £40 you get...


[*]Frying Pan
[*] Saucepan
[*] Can Opener
[*] Chopping Board
[*] Measuring Jug
[*]Peeler
[*] Colander
[*] Tongs
[*] Pizza Cutter
[*] Oven Glove
[*] Oven Tray
[*] Roasting Pan
[*] 8 piece cutlery set
[*] 4 teaspoons
[*] 4 nylon kitchen tools
[*] Grater
[*] Ice cube tray
[*] 2 egg cups
[*] 3 piece mixing bowl set with lids
[*] Spatula
[*] 3 knives
[*] Mixing bowl
[*] Whisk
[*] Juicer
[*] Measuring spoons
[*] Corkscrew
[*] Toast it bags


I took everythin out already that I had put in the trolley and got it. Obviously I won't be taking it all, just thought it was incredible value and saved me so much time in getting it all separately.

For everyone who isn't sorted yet it's well worth a look :biggrin:

I've also been told they sell incredibly cheap duvets - £8 or something like that? - for those of you who'd like to keep one on your bed at home as well :smile:
found duvets at wilko for £8 much better quality

Tesco/Wilkos are my Gods.
Bring two duvets, and put one on top of your mattress under the sheet for a snuggly soft warm bed. Fact.

Basically, Tesco rule. Looking at what's in there, I'd say a trip to Tesco is in order, as I had to throw a few of my things away or they're cheapy small versions that are hard to use.

I bought a matress topper from Argos (it has straps so it won't move around) just so I don't have to sleep directly on top of other people's nasty stains :biggrin:
I had two mattress toppers (college provided one as well) as well as the duvet in the winter. It really was massively comfy :biggrin:

Airbeds are the way to go IMO :smile: Been sleeping on one every night for the past two years!

argos do a similar sort of thing for kitchen bits and pieces, as do ikea. Im not sure on the prices though
That's crazy!Hmm I need to get a new duvet cover/sheets for my new bed actually.I'm getting a double in my room(can't stand sleeping in a single any longer!) but the sheets I have for it don't match my room.

When I started uni a couple of years ago I got something practically the same as that for £29.99 in Woolworths. Well it was brought for me actually, but all the same!

Woolies may be worth checking out too.

Tescos were doing some really useful student stuff, I'd already bought all the stuff in that set though.

Ikea isn't too bad, you can get really nice quilt covers for like £7 plus the kitchenware is quite cheap too.
I went today but mine didn't have one! So annoying. Ending up spending more money and not getting as much as you did.


But I did get green plates =)
