We like to buy most of our foods in France. All we take is coffee, milk and a large bottle of gin. If we are late on site and the shops are closed the gin is opened. No worries then until the next day

Hi Lilli.

         Well I have picked up 50 tins of "Tesco Value Curry Sauce" 390g size, total outlay £2.50!, at 5p each tin, as for what's in em?, it says on the label Tomato Puree onion, Vegetable Oil Sugar, Modified Mize, Wheat Flour Spices and Celery, Sultanas, Salt and Garlic powder, not forgetting the Acidity Regulator, anyway the BB date is June 2011, so should be gould for the next fifty years at least!, to be fair though I have not yet plucked up the courage to try one yet, but in the interest of research I will try one with some chicken and rice this weekend!.

I have yet to go camping in France yet, however, when my partner and I went to a self-catering holiday at Center Parc in Holland, we met up with a couple of friends at Dunkirk to go shopping at the big Carrefour or Auchen to stock up for provisions, and filled our cool boxes up with goodies and bought loads of snacks.

The only food stuff we would take is the brew kit - teas, coffee, Coffeemate and suger, plus salt and pepper grinders.

I imagine I would do the same when I go there eventually. There are so many things I would want to buy and eat in France!

 Looking forward to the review of the Value Curry Sauce. Like Lizex says probably cheaper for Tesco to make it the nearly natural way rather than adding all the artificial stuff. We're off in two weeks time .. if it's any good will leave a few tins for the dog walkers and house sitters.  Mmmm I wonder? ...let me know if I could pass it off as home made by decanting into a different container abnd freezing it .. maybe chuck in a few veges...( I know I'm cheap so you don't have to say it)

you will find costs pretty much like for like now with the euro as is currently sits.  We take T bags, instant coffee, sugar, sausages and bacon.  Just really so we can have a cupa when arrive without needing to do the shop first. Sausages as we prefer ours, same with bacon.  Then shop when we need.  Apart from that everything else is much more enjoyable out there anyway and wont cost you anymore to be honest.  You just need enough to tie you over for a bit.
