    In the northampton store yesterday, they had Lyclear headlice combs for 19p.

    Dunno about you lot, but my kids are forever getting nits :mad: and 19p for a nit comb is a bargain!

    They were right up on the top of the shelves, so easy to miss!

    i just paid £5.99 for one of these:mad:

    OT but I stopped buying nitcombs as I was gathering a small collection of them as DD seemed to have nits every month. It was costing me a fortune! A friend recommended using a drop or two of tea tree oil on her head when shampooing her hair - since I've done this she's not had nits :D:j Well worth the £1.99 for a bottle from Aldi when they had it on special. I even bought a second bottle to have in spare as the only other place I've seen it is Holland & Barrart;) :eek:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
