A woman has spent £40k tasting and comparing every supermarket food imaginable - and reveals the ONE meal to avoid.
Becca Stock, 28, decided to compare food to help people find the best options for their budget - after being inspired by BBC's Eat Well For Less.
She reviews everything from chocolate digestives to supermarket paellas to find the best items.
Becca says her worst meal was tinned burgers and her best was crepe pancakes from an independent company in Cheltenham.
Her favourite ever item is from an independent company based in Cheltenham and they are in Selfridges in Birmingham called Sisu Pancakes.

00:00This is from Aldi, and this is the spicy cheddar with chili.
00:05Oh, love, love, love this.
00:07I like it when I get spice, but I can also taste the flavor of the chili pepper.
00:12It's really intense.
00:13From the moment you put it in your mouth, it really hits you,
00:15and then it's just building and building and building.
00:16I can feel the flame at the back of my throat.
00:18The cheese is nice.
00:19It's smooth, and it's creamy.
00:21That's a nine and a half out of ten.
00:22This one is from Aldi.
00:23This is the specially selected extra mature cheddar.
00:29Oh.
00:30If you like a really strong mature cheddar, that is amazing.
00:35That, for me, is a ten out of ten.
00:37This is Lidl's Deluxe Somerset Crunchy Extra Mature Cheddar.
00:41Does the Great British Food Awards have taste buds?
00:43That's the question.
00:46Oh, now then.
00:47I've just leveled up to cheese heaven.
00:49It's delicious.
00:50You want an extra mature cheddar that packs punch.
00:53This is it.
00:54It's creamy.
00:55It's crumbly.
00:57That is a ten out of ten.
00:58This one looks so fancy.
01:00This is the world's first carbon neutral vintage cheddar cheese.
01:04This is Ivy's Reserve Vintage Somerset Cheddar.
01:09Holy moly.
01:10It's sweet.
01:11It's nutty.
01:12It's like something almost caramelized.
01:15I love the texture of it.
01:16Like, it is creamy, but it's slightly crumbly.
01:19Cheese on toast would be taken to the next level with this.
01:22That firmly, in my mind, no doubt, is a ten out of ten.
01:26Let's try a flavoured cheese.
01:28This is from M&S, and it's the Barber's Farmhouse Truffle Cheddar.
01:32Oh, gosh.
01:34Damn.
01:35The truffle flavour hits you straight away.
01:37Then there's this sweetness, smokiness, nuttiness.
01:39That's the best truffle cheese I've ever had.
01:41That's a ten out of ten.
01:42I want to find out who makes the best chocolate digestive,
01:45so let's rate these from worst to best.
01:47I do get a lot of requests for gluten-free,
01:49so these will be included in the list.
01:50Little.
01:52Ugh.
01:53I didn't think I'd be hating any of them.
01:55The chocolate is almost...
01:56It's just brown, thick layer.
01:58Like, it's not even chocolate.
02:00It doesn't taste to anything.
02:01Biscuit is very crumbly, and again, has, like, no flavour.
02:04They're a two out of ten.
02:05This is too far down the pack, Tesco.
02:07I do not want to eat five biscuits in one go.
02:11If you hadn't guessed, this is Tesco.
02:15Mmm.
02:16I am 50-50, because that digestive is the best tasting
02:20out of all the ones I've tried.
02:22But I can't taste the chocolate.
02:23It's so plain.
02:25They're a four and a half out of ten.
02:26Next, we have the Galaxy Digestives.
02:29Thing is, with brands, I hold them to a higher standard,
02:32because they charge usually twice the amount of supermarket charges.
02:36Why would you pay all this money?
02:38You can't really differentiate it for being Galaxy chocolate.
02:41They're a five out of ten.
02:42This one is Waitrose.
02:46I like the chocolate.
02:47There needs to be more of it, though, or it would be a little bit stronger.
02:50The texture isn't as good as I would hope for.
02:52It's a little bit more crumbly than it is, like, crunchy.
02:55They're a five and a half out of ten.
02:57I wonder where these will play.
02:58So this is McVitie's.
03:02Shocker.
03:03I'm not actually that fussed.
03:04I think some of the supermarket ones way outperformed these.
03:07The biscuit is a little bit too crumbly for me.
03:10Doesn't really have any flavour.
03:12And the chocolate is, it's fine, but it's just a bit mediocre.
03:14These are not worth the money.
03:16They're a six out of ten.
03:17This is M&S.
03:20I don't mind the chocolate on top.
03:22Could do with being a little bit stronger.
03:24Everything is quite sweet.
03:25They're a six out of ten.
03:26Okay, this is Asda.
03:28This is the first one where I've been able to taste salt in the biscuit.
03:33It's pretty good.
03:34The only thing I dislike about it is that it's got more of, like, a rich tea texture than it has a digestive.
03:40But it's still not a bad biscuit.
03:41That's a six and a half out of ten.
03:43This one is Aldi.
03:45They're enjoyable.
03:46The chocolate is quite thin on them.
03:48I like the flavour coming from the digestive biscuit.
03:50They're not bad, especially taking price into consideration.
03:53I would consider having these again.
03:55They're a seven out of ten.
03:56This is the Morrison's Free From.
03:59Not bad.
04:00I've tried a lot of gluten-free digestive biscuits, and this is quite palatable.
04:04It's a bit oaty.
04:05I really like the chocolate on the top.
04:07These are pretty good.
04:07They're a seven and a half out of ten.
04:09This is Co-op Free From.
04:12The chocolate is a little bit darker.
04:14I actually like that.
04:15It's got more of a cocoa flavour.
04:17I like the texture.
04:18Could be a little bit crunchier.
04:20They're an eight out of ten.
04:21This is Tesco Free From.
04:22It's got really good crunch to them.
04:26Lovely flavour.
04:27The chocolate is pretty good.
04:29These are banging.
04:30Like, you wouldn't know these were gluten-free.
04:32They're an eight and a half out of ten.
04:33Probably the smallest digestive.
04:35This is Sainsbury's.
04:39Pretty nice.
04:40It's a bit thicker than the other biscuits.
04:42I wish I could taste that chocolate just a little bit more, but I love the flavour of
04:46the digestive, and I love the texture.
04:47That's an eight and a half out of ten.
04:49Next up is Morrison's.
04:52That is almost a perfect digestive.
04:55Amazing crunch.
04:56Great flavour from the digestive.
04:58The chocolate is good on top.
05:00Nice and thick.
05:00It's got a lovely creaminess.
05:02Nice cocoa tones coming through.
05:03I would have thought that was brand.
05:05That is very, very good.
05:07That's a nine out of ten.
