    I am so upset right now...just back from ASDA....what a waste of a trip. Tried to buy 2x fairy dish tabs, 2x kitchen cleaner, 2x bath cleaner and 2x Surface wipes and two sponges. My total grocery spend came to under £20.
    However just as I was about to pay and had my groceries packed in my cart, the floor manager came over and said I could not buy more than a total of 4 promotional products and I would have to put items back.

    What is the point of advertising a 2 for £1 sale etc when a customer cannot buy more than 4 items in total.

    What a scam to get people into the store.

    Needless to say I left my unpaid for groceries there and walked out :mad: .

    I would have brought four lots then paid then leave the items with the man then queue about again and pay for another 4 as then you would still have the items and also he would see how silly it was. :rolleyes: Ive been on several sprees with these items and the women who were at the checkouts have just put them through as two seperate orders. :j

    OK...need to go and get some Stardrops to try.


    Where can I buy it? What does the packaging look like? Please don't tell me it's branded by ASDA:eek: ?!!!!

    My local Asda has no limits as far as I am aware.
    Stardrops is good ! Its either an orangey colour in a clear bottle or the amonia one ( white colour ) is great on floors.
    Pop over to the oldstylers board and you can see what it is used for.
    Get it in Wilkos.

    this is the bottle that you want, i get mine from home bargain, but supermarkets do do it.

    It's great for everything,

    the starclen is good for tiles, and getting grease from stuff.

    there is also a pine disenfectant, same bottle but green
  • Limit of 6 of each item in my local Asda - Hulme, Manchester.

    Domestos is 2 for £1 and I also picked up the Persil offer (not in the promotional aisle but at the cleaning products section). All areas seemed well stocked.
