British households looking for a more economical alternative to orange squash face a cheaper option that can compete directly with popular brands. According to tests conducted by journalist Angela Patrone, purchasing an own-brand product from one of eight supermarkets tested proved to be more cost-effective than Robinsons. In her test, Patrone examined various well-known brands and supermarket own-brands—namely products from Tesco, Lidl, M&S, along with other unnamed stores. She found that, while the quality was generally good across multiple vendors, one particular bottle stood out for its lower price tag of 75p less than Robinsons while still meeting consumer expectations. Patrone’s investigation reveals that while classic brands like Robinsons command a £2 price per bottle, several supermarkets' own-label varieties provided similar taste and value at significantly reduced costs. This test is particularly relevant in the current economic climate where cost-saving measures are high on many consumers’ minds. The findings suggest a viable option for families seeking to reduce spending without compromising on their daily drink choices. As orange squash remains a common household item, these results could influence purchasing decisions among Britons looking to stretch their budgets further with everyday products.
