    Have a look in ethnic supermarkets - I get my white from Aisian or african grocers at £1.99 for 5l. grab some when you go to buy your spices (also much cheaper at athnic shops than the main supermarkets). I'm pretty sure I could get it cheaper if I shopped around but only by 25p or so and you do have to carry it home. The little supermarket bottles are a rip off imho.

    I tried at my local wilkinson store today and they don't stock it. The lady said it's very old and wilkos don't do it and to try the pound shop kind of places. The local tesco don't sell it either or the local kwiksave or superdrug so not sure where to look now as our cheap shop doesnt sell it either

    I don't understand though, if it's been around so long why haven't people kept using it then rather than it get to the point where supermarkets don't stock it anymore as there couldn't have been enough call for it.

    I'll try it though, if I happen to find it that is but it looks like that isn't going to be that easy
    Thanx

    I found the same, people have been saying on here how much cheaper it is in wilkinsons, but when I looked they don't sell it. I did manage to find it in safeway (now changed its name to morrison), but it wasn't as cheap as some people were saying.

    I used mine in the DW and it did a great job on glasses and no soap worries!

    why would they stock it in some of their stores and not others :confused:

    maybe email the head office type dudes and complain / request they stock it in your local store :D

    Been looking for Stardrops for weeks since discovering this thread, as am keen to try it out - it sounds wonderful stuff! Finally got some in Semi-Chem yesterday for 58p, so worth having a check there if you have a branch nearby.
    Haven't used it yet, but later today, once I've woken up properly and had some more coffee! Must be mad, me keen to do some cleaning? :rotfl:
