    I've got some on order for tomorrow. Nothing else - just those. I think I'd better cancel now.

    Just be careful with these. I bought some on offer and used as directed and my washing was full of white streaks and powder, they didn't seem to rinse off properly. I then squashed them up before use and that helped a little, but I must say that I threw most of the box away, just a warning if you have anyone in your family with sensitive skin!

    I find the trick with these is to only use 1 tablet per wash (making them more of a bargain) and not 2 as stated, a washing machine repair man gave me that tip few years ago. They wash really well too, my OH has an allotment and often very dirty clothes to wash.

    Also we are a family with sensitive skin and I actually find them the best to use as in the past Persil or Ariel have caused rashes for OH and DD. On another thread about cheapest washing powder other people have reported similar. Not sure how to post link to that thread but worth a read for anyone thinking of buying. :)
  • anyone know if this is still working today?
  • I'm hearing that these are now scanning at the full price so worth getting one price checked before loading up your trolley if you find a shelf full.

    Have delivery coming tonight so I'll let people know what they are charging for these on online deliveries. I have a confirmation of them each being 25p so I'll see what happens.

    Blimming heck! I forgot to cancel my rather large order and it arrived while I was out. I order 22 boxes, so I could share them around (and so it made it worth the delivery charge too). I was petrified they were going to charge me full price, or send really expensive tablets!

    Anyway, they substituted with bigger boxes and price matched. BUT... they only sent 7 bigger boxes instead of 11, and still charged me for all 22 small boxes.

    I've just phoned them and told them, and they've issued a £2 refund.

    I feel like a right saddo now!!

    Happy Happy Happy Happy!!!!

    I also did a large order.

    Had it all substituted with 48 packs or a different brand called Daisy 48 packs to the equivalent amount. BUT ALL PRICE MATCHED.

    Have enough washing powder to last months now!!! And at such a bargain price. THank you thank you thank you to OP.

    Just need to find somewhere to store it all now!
