    Fairy here too - although not much to wash as all goes in dishwasher. It lasts for months and months
    Saving in my terramundi pot £2, £1 and 50p just for me! :j

    I'm allergic to Fairy so use Morning Fresh. Savers usually have 50% extra free bottles so I try to buy it from there.

    We buy Tesco value to wash the cat's dishes in the utility room but find it's too weak to do the main washing up.

    I used to use the Adsa own brand as they seemed to have a permanent "buy two for a quid" offer on.

    I'm a Stardrops convert now though.
    :eek: What if the hokey cokey is what it's all about? :eek:

    Fairy is the one washing up liquid that makes my hands really sore, I use Ecover and water it down half and half, lasts for ages, mind you I don't have a lot of greasy washing up.
  • just read through all the replies........

    maybe I'll give the ecover a try when my current cheapo one runs out.

    It's interesting how many people recommend getting a more expensive one and watering it down or mixing cheap with expensive. you'd think that would make it just as bad as the thinner cheap ones but apparently not!

    I was buying Somerfield own brand (they usually have an offer on), but bought Lidl really cheap (about 37p) which is no use for greasy dishes. However, on another thread commented on hubby using Stardrops - far too many suds for him using it. Thinking of diluting that down, but waiting until Lidl bottle finished.

    Fairy or Persil here.

    A quick tip though if you use Persil. The caps seem very poorly designed with a large hole (so you squirt out more than you need), and it tends to dribble down the side of the bottle making a mess. So save an old Fairy cap and use that on the Persil bottle instead (fortunately it fits nicely).

    Fairy is the one I am currently using as I won it at a game of bingo but when it has gone we will be back to morning fresh. This is the best one I have found that is cheaper than fairy and is found with 50% extra free and 3 for 2 at the same time at morrisons sometimes so I stock up then.
    The best bargains are priceless!!!!!!!!!! :T :T :T
