in Gone off!
hi wonder if anybody can help. i am desperate to get my hands on good old fashioned windolene - tried co-op, morrisons, tesco (woman didnt even know what i was on about), semi-chem and cant get it -notice can get it online ebay etc but most are working out at over £5.00 a bottle once adding the p&p - has anybody seen it in a high street shop? am beginning to hate all the sprays and have tried i think about everyone on the market !

thanks (posted on old style as after tesco lady not knowing what i was on about thought this would be the best place!)

    a couple of stores on Amazon UK have it, priced around £3 odds

    I used to love that stuff - haven't used it for ages though and you've just told me why - I haven't seen it anywhere!

    I buy it in my local newsagent/grocers shop, I don't use it myself but my OH uses it for work. Its only £1.50 a bottle there, maybe I need to start an Amazon shop selling it.

    I'll move this to the Grocery shopping Board - the experts there may have more ideas for you :)

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email forumteam[EMAIL="forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com"]@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].
