  • I don't know if these have been mentioned before but I buy the following 2 items from Home Bargains as staples :-

    18 pack of loo roll (the one in the dark blue packaging) for 2.99. brilliant value and good quality!

    1.5L bottle of 'Ultra Non Bio Washing Liquid' (HB's own brand i think) for 1.99. This is fabulous stuff - I use about 1/2 to 2/3 of what they recommend. On an average of 4-5 washes a week this lasts me 2 months :). Oh and my partner gets pretty severe ezcema and this does not irritate his skin :T

    I've bought this from hb & I find it pretty nasty stuff. I've used about 30g of it at work (with marvel) and it's just sat there in the locker now. I will definately throw it away next time I'm at work & most likely replace it with aldis gold blend equivalent at £2.49/200g :)
