chickric Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Haven't used Lakelands but have lots from Asda which seem ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I thought Lakeland was one of the few shops that sold original Lock & Locks? I always got them from there before I discovered QVC and the 'mega' packs. Not that I am addicted to Lock & Lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I have tried a few cheaper own brands and IMHO nothing compares to the original. Especially after a few goes in the dishwasher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I use the Te$co version and they are just as good as the originals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I found the Tesco ones we bought years ago leaked if filled with liquid. I take them to work and always fill one up with ice cubes to keep in my cool bag. Only the Lock & lock ones are water tight. It is a nightmare with the liquids policy at airports as I can't take any ice packs through anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathybc Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 Thought Christian might pop up on this thread (not that your addiction is famous!) Lakeland do still do the real L&L but have their own too now, which are cheaper and they carry a wider range. Might just give them a go....my handbags have survived exploding coke cans and smashed eggs, so leaking soup can't be any worse.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadietoo Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I always try to stick to one brand so that they stack more easily and the lids are interchangeable..(that was until L& L changed the shape of the ones sold by Lakeland ).

kitbag Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I personally think Lakeland's own brand is just as good with a wider range than L&L. Then again I do work at Lakeland so maybe I am a bit biased! I find with a lot of customers it comes down to price and I'm pretty certain that the sizes of the two brands boxes are slightly different!

Shirl Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Morrisions have 470ml L&L on special at the moment. I think it was a pack of 3 for £3 or 2 packs for £5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
