Most effective fabric conditioner for the money?

I know that I can use vinegar etc (and I do),but for certain items I need a really hard working fabric conditioner. There are so many on the market its a bit overwhelming. I would be interested to know which ones people recommend (primarily for making things smell fresh rather than for softness).

    I use Lenor spring awakening. It smells really fresh and lasts for ages. I love it. I look for the offers/sales in iceland and other supermarkets and buy 2/3 at a time. Not cheap I know, but I think it's worth it.:T

    Good to hear.
    I've just stocked up on both the "spring" and "summer".
    It's on offer at £2 for a 42 wash size and there's a £1 off coupon which obviously makes it £1 per bottle.
    Fairy 42 wash can be had for £1 also.

    It depends what you use fabric conditioner for really. If it's because you want things really really soft, then I would go for the mid level brand, just above value (you know for example Tesco's own) as I have used them a lot in the past and they don't feel any different to branded conditioner to me.
    If it's just for the smell and making them a little softer then the value ranges work fine (in my opinion). You can get a litre of conditioner in wilkinsons for 30-ish pence and it smells quite nice. Just don't use their own brand detergent liquid as it smells like fairy (it probably is!)!

    Had been using Tesco's own which is 85p for 750ml, but managed to get 2 comfort (750ml) for £1.80 and the difference is amazing, the smell is so strong and lasts for ages. I use the pure Comfort, it's better for sensitive skin.
    The frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.

    I like the Lenor Infusions 'Breath of Fresh Air' (the blue one). I like the smell and I find it keeps things smelling fresh. I wait until it's on offer and stock up - I think it's been on offer in Sainsbury's recently, and I noticed in Asda yesterday there was some kind of offer on Lenor.
