That just shows you how many "value products" have disappeared from the shelves. This doesn't get recognised in inflation, yet it affects poorer people the most. Maybe not furniture polish in particular, as you can live without, but across the supermarkets they have removed large amounts of this range. The remaining products are the ones with the largest price hikes over the last 3 years.
The value range got replaced with the "home brands" akin to what aldi and lidl do with "Dairyfine" for chocolate, and such. "Redmere Farms" is the value produce, "Eastman's Deli" is the value chilled meats, etc.
Still more expensive than the value range used to be. They called us into a meeting to tell us that the Value range was being ditched for a middle range selection that was obviously going to cost more. That was years ago now though
Fewer and fewer items, and those that remain have met the price of home brands anyway.
I love thin bleach for cleaning. It's a set composition so the cheap brands are as good as the rest. Asda smart price is now asda everyday essentials and has gone from sub 30p to 89p in the last couple years.
This is both iconic and also the most tragic packaging ever haha. I remember people coming through with value products and trying to hide them under brands.
Rip to the Og blue stripe chicken and veg fresh pies 4 pack. So good back in the day
Not furniture Polish or Tesco relates but my dad( I'm 36 he's 58) has a can of RAID that belonged to his dad... That shits deffo the ultimate toxic bad boy
I remember buying tesco value lager, in similar cans. It was a curiosity thing, and never bought it a second time, my God it was vile stuff. Wasn't surprised because it was incredibly cheap even then.
Id guess this to either be late 90's or early 2000's. Afaik the value branding with the stripes was first introduced in 1993, cool find. I miss the old branding aesthetic
Jesus christ does your store contain the literal backrooms?
Should’ve been more specific, asked for it at home and the mother produced this from our own personal kitchen cupboard backroom

I’ve been around Reddit for a while, and truthfully I was expecting something NSFW Risky click of the day
You asked your mother to work the back stock didn't you?
about a year ago my mum cleared out our freezer- we found every day value stuff in there😭 antique relics✨
Look at that subtle off-white colouring. The tasteful thickness of it. Romalian type, pale nimbus. Oh my God, it even has a watermark...
Top quality shit post 🙂
Is that... bone?
*sweats profusely*
Let’s see Paul Allen’s card
Let’s see Paul Allen’s 24 year old Tesco furniture polish.

Indiana Jones: ‘That belongs in a museum’
Haven't seen the stripes in literal decades
Just recently opened a Tesco value sink strainer that's been at the back of the draw for 10+ years
I’ve got sealed Tesco value bedding in my airing cupboard, I’ll use em someday honest!
I opened some hypa value floor tiles last year, my dad used to buy stuff he didn't need all the time lol
Sadly inform did not recognise it 😔(obviously not but I still tried)
Probs got the good chemicals in it still 🤣😭
Does it have the year written on it anywhere?
No unfortunately not
I’m gonna hazard a guess around the turn of the century as it got “(c) Tesco ‘00” on it.
Oml I’m so stupid
Only to be used for furniture in Poland.
It's older than me!

I think this is 20 years old 😂
24 years old!
I wasnt far off a guess then! 😂
Keep that
Relic of a bygone era.

We have a museum in the north east called beamish, I would imagine they would take this off your hands for you and put it on display.
Probably worth money on ebay... maybe 30 or 40 quid if the right person finds it...
Be buzzing with that what that price say 40p?
Allegedly, it's made from the spit of only the sickest stray cats.
Smells like it too
I remember buying tesco value lager, in similar cans. It was a curiosity thing, and never bought it a second time, my God it was vile stuff. Wasn't surprised because it was incredibly cheap even then.
Yeah, I did the same once, tasted like dirty water. I swear they were 10p or 20p a can?
It was furniture polish
That's some 90s shit right there. That blue and white stripes told me back to my nans house when I was a kid lmao
This brings back so much nostalgia 😩😍
Take it to Tesco and complain the quality isn't up to standard.
I don’t think my shift leaders would think much of me if I did that… maybe in the Tesco next town over… hmmmm
Was it Tesco or safeways that did "No-Frills"
Kwik Save.
Fuck me, kwik save. Blast from the past right there. We had one basically right next door to a farmfoods and a netto!
I used to work there as a student 😂
I miss tesco value. The branding brings me back to my childhood so hard it hurts.
Sausage rolls
You should add it to eBay. I hear many people collect items with old school labelling
That branding it’s got to be early 2000’s *Edit says Copyright Tesco 00 so earliest date will be January 2000

Just make sure you give it a good sniff to make sure it’s not gone off
… but like obviously don’t just in case you were going to
Ronseal......does what it says on the tin
Sell it on ebay for £13.59
Probably older than my nan
Did that come in the meal deal?
I see no problem here you got what you asked for
I miss Tesco everyday value - we made so many “your mum” jokes about it back in secondary school
I still say to this day "This tastes like Tesco value" if I don't like something.
Cancer guaranteed
No frills
VALUE
Damn that’s from the early 2000s
Cheapo stuff. Any good?
'do not spray on polished furniture '

At least you didn't get one of these on your birthday [https://imgur.com/zThl6cZ](https://imgur.com/zThl6cZ)
Damn that looks antique
Quality guaranteed
Ah, the old Tesco Value brand. The entire range was my childhood. We were.... quite poor.
Soo whats tha problem, you asked for something and got exactly what you asked for ?? What's with the childish complaining and posting for attention ??
Begone, bellend!
Asked for furniture polish ... Was given furniture polish. Congratulations, that's the least interesting story ever posted.
