What no longer goes on YOUR shopping list?

Used to buy ready meals, but cook more than ever now.
Dont buy bread anymore as we make our own in the fantastic bread maker
Will be stopping buying fabric softener, when I have used the last bottle up
Using up last of shower gel and will stop buying that as well as it irritates my sensitive skin.

cholesterol in the food you eat doesn't affect cholesterol in the blood
important thing is to reduce saturated fat intake

actually it is known that food higher in fat will affect blood cholesterol levels

look on google like I did

I did, and found this

I love the internet, find a page that says one thing, then keep looking and you find a page that says the exact opposite. And the best part is, people believe it all!

I have eco-balls sat in the cupboard:mad: I only use a quick and cool wash and the eco-balls instructions say I can only use on a 40 degree full wash.

Has anyone used them on a quick, cool wash with success?

I got some of these balls when they were on offer in aldi 2 years ago. Always wash towels and bath mats with them on quick, cool wash. I add a couple of drops of essential oils for freshness and have saved a fortune. A household with 3 teenagers who do a lot of sport get through a lot of towels in a week.

Thanks for your comments. In fact I did try a quick cool wash after thinking about it. I put two eco-balls in a load of coloureds - some of them were quite dirty too. They came out really well.
I'll try the towels next. I might put in some lavender essential oil, but I tend to save this for baths

Can someone reccomend which eco balls to try, there are so many on the market and i would rather try some that others use and think are good.
Many thanks
