  • I like the "easy" brand from Iceland. They have banded twin packs at the mo, 2 x 500ml for £1

    I buy the yellow bottles from Lidls for 39p each, and found them to be as good as fairy etc.
    A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water.:D
  • I use the cheapo stuff from Morrisons and add a tablespoon of washing soda if the pans etc are minging. That cuts through all the grease in no time.

    I use tesco value for soaking saucepans, pie dishes etc & Sainsburys basil & rosemary for general, not becuse it's any better (it isn't tecos value brand works fine), not beacuse it's any cheaper (at 89p a bottle it's 53p dearer ) and not beacuse it lasts longer (there is a washing up liquid conspricy against me which means they all magically go from half full to dregs at the end of every fortnight ) but beacuse I'm hooked on the scent. I think it must be addictive:confused::o:eek::rotfl:



    And to me, leaving washing up would be roughly the equlivent of putting putting a bank card in a cash point then leaving it there to normal people (The inner Monica in me speaks!)
    Post Natal Depression is the worst part of giving birth:p

    In England we have Mothering Sunday & Father Christmas, Mothers day & Santa Clause are American merchandising tricks:mad: Demonstrate pride in your heirtage by getting it right please people!

    Yes, I agree. This is what I buy, too.

    I have alway found morning fresh to be the best cheaper one (buy it when *% free) but I am still using some fairy I won at the bingo!
    The best bargains are priceless!!!!!!!!!! :T :T :T

    ECOVER for us as we have sensitive skin and it lathers up brilliantly  - not cheap but lasts ages 
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Another vote for Aldi's Magnum and their Premium wul is brilliant, very little is needed.
    Normal people worry me.
  • Where did you find this 14 year old thread?
    Aldis Magnum is the best by far and value for money it can’t be beaten. 
    Which proved this a few years ago. 
    I’ve been shopping in Lidl quite a lot lately because of the convenience compared to Aldi during Covid and the difference in quality on pretty much everything is notable, Aldi is far Better and the same price
