Has anyone used...

Has anyone used Tesco Value laundry detergent? Is it any good or will i just be wasting my money? I need to cut back this weeks shopping to the bear min, as i've got £20 to get a weeks shopping. I think i can do this as i don;t need loads of stuff this week.

I have been using Tesco's own cause that was £1.79 but it's gone up now to£2.40 or something.

    Do you mean the value washing powder -the one in a bag (much better than a box I think)?

    If so, yes, I use this all the time, and I find it to be a very good product. I think there is a lot of "snobbery" surrounding washing powders/gels/tablets/capsules etc..... which I refuse to get "sucked in" to.

    A friend gave me two to try a while back...one was in the plastic bag and another was in the box, the bag one worked fine but the box was rubbish! Didn`t get anything clean unless I hot washed it, and even then....
    I have no Tesco near me but if I did, I think it`d be a false economy to buy the box value detergent.

    I used it ages ago - once. Then found myself mixing it with other ones just to use it up.

    It's funny because until that time I just thought their own brand stuff was just value stuff rebranded, but I do use their own brand washing tablets and find them absolutely fine.

    i used to use it however they changed it, and it just went all clumpy in the drawer so i stopped, you could try the value laundry liquid instead it's suppose to be quite good and it's not too expensive
