Bulk Buy Washing Powder/Tablets/Liquid

Options
Hey. Does anyone know where you can bulk buy liquitabs for washing machine?
Ideally Bold 2in1, but anything would be good.

Im aware of Costco/Macro, but is there any websites dedicated to bulk buy in groceries etc?

    I tend to wait until they're on offer at a supermarket and then stock up. The last place I got bold 2 in 1 liquitabs was Tesco and Morrisons, where they had 24 for £4. I used to always buy Tesco own brand 2 in 1 liquitabs but these worked out cheaper per wash when they were on offer.
    Also, Home Bargains had Bold 2 in 1 liquitabs 33 washes for £6.99. Not quite as good as £4 for 22 or 24 but good compared to supermarkets.
  • I agree with Pruney, bulk buy when things are on offer.

    We have enough diswasher tablets for the next year after there was a money off coupon on the diswasher rinse aid which made the tablets almost free.

    Same with the washing up liquid. We have a cupboard full of that too because of a MOC for fairy diswasher tablets.

    Another cupboard is full of Pampers wipes when they worked out at 50p a packet from Boots with Quidco cashback, a good price and Boots points.

    Loads of wine, when it worked out you were getting more money back in Tesco Deals than you spent in wine.

    Bulk buying when things are on offer is the best way.

    The only thing that does not seem to work is bulk buying beer. The OH just drinks it faster.... lol :)

    I've always used supermarket own brand dishwasher powder and find it gives pretty good results.

    For washing powder I have to use a particular brand due to allergy and find costco the cheapest.

    I use all the diswasher stuff from Lidl and it's really good. I bon't buy 3-in1 tabs just ordinary ones plus salt and rinse aid.

    I don't use liquid tabs but Asda Smart Price washing powder is perfectly OK and the best value I've found.

    I bulk buy off ebay. There is a seller who I have used for some time who supplies 10kg sacks of Persil Performance tablets in either bio or non bio which have been crushed into powder making it concentrated.
    You only need about an egg cup full for each standard wash so a 10kg sack lasts approx 350 washes (less than 5p per wash).
    I pay £16.99 incl delivery for each sack.
    All I did was buy a large plastic container with a lid and put the powder into that and its great, the cheapest I have found and never had a problem with the powder.
    If anyone is interested, I can pm you the seller's details.

    A good tip is to buy some of the top brand soap powder when on special and mix it with some of the cheaper stuff each load.
