    Oooh, just looked at Asda online, Smartprice malt vinegar is 16p for a pint (568ml!) A gallon for £1.28!

    Check that it is white vinegar student100. Whilst normal brown vinegar will do the job, i find that it leaves a brownish tinge to the surface of the things you have cleaned. In itself is no problem with dark coloured surfaces, but paler surfaces definately need white vinegar.

    i never used to believe all this just about vinegar, but reading related links at the TMF and on this website, has made me think again.

    i am off to buy some tonight.

    p.s. My mum says a good sore throat /cold remedy is to drink a mixture of cider vinegar adn lemon juice and honey.

    pls can anyone suggest the best place to buy white vinegar? I have tried both Asda and morrisons- no luck.

    Also where is a good place to buy bicarbonate of soda? Does any store sell an own brand/economy make?

    FARMFOODS SELL WHITE VINEGAR

    if you have a makro or booker card you can buy it a lot cheaper but the farm foods one is 49 for a bottle

    bicarb?? every shop will sell it look where the flour and baking products are

    fantastic for indigestion as thats what rennies are

    minty flavoured bicarb spoonful in a little water

    hold your nose but by eck its worth the foul taste

    Re the Bicarbonate of soda,
    You can buy it in chemists like Boots and Lloyds in packets that are much larger & cheaper than the little pots sold in supermarkets.
