Tesco value one dosen't smell of any thing and the last time I bought it it was 42p I think. It may have gone up now. I use it quite a lot. It does the job very well.

I didn't find this at all, it is a very mild smell but i didn't find it worked at all, i might aswell have just rubbed some soap in it was just a nice smell rather than efficient, i'm surrently using a nivea one that was 79p in homebargains and my value one ended up in the bin but then i never stop running about so maybe i need a really good one.


On a side note who invented 48hr deodrant, who decided that people needed to not have to wash for 2 days :eek:

Potato, onion and bacon pie under 50p !

2 large pots
1 large onion, sliced
4 slices of bacon
2 large potatoes, sliced
Put a layer of potato in the bottom of an ovenproof dish, then a layer of onion slices, then 2 slices of bacon. Repeat and end with potatoes. Add a little milk over the top and bake in the oven quite slowly for 45mins-1 hour.

That will go on the meal plan later in the week. The similar recipe I have uses egg and as my daughter has an intolerance to egg she can't eat it. Your version with just milk will be good because we can all eat it.

Has anyone found a good fragrant womens deodourant, preferably a roll on for less than 50p?

Apologies that this is nowhere near under 50p BUT... I absolutely love it and it lasts up to a year so under 50p a month which I think is a bargain.

PLUS it is natural and very safe. It is unscented and doesn't mark any clothes either. If you were willing to take a punt on it I don't think you would be disappointed

I think you can get trial sized ones cheaply - worth a look x

Tesco Value Soap, 11p. I use this on shirt collars, its great for getting stains out of the carpets (I didn't listen to my parents when I got my house and insisted on cream carpets!!!), and for cleaning my vertical blinds. I also use some on a cloth to clean the shower screen and tiles and they come up gleaming.

I always get the value fromage frais for the kids from the big supermarkets. Aldi/lidl do 9's and my twins fight over the 'spare' one.
I buy nearly all my stuff from aldi or lidl such as....
Value philly or aldi/lidl own
mozarell from aldi/lidl
cereal (not 50p but less salt and carp) aldi/lidl
tom puree tubes
pasata
Loads more but cant think atm

Ald! do a decent one - men's and women's - not under 50p, latest one I bought was 69p I think, but works really well. hth

That one drives me mad, it's one of those with a tilted base so you always have to stand it on its lid. This means that frequently more comes out than you want when you apply it. Wilkos own brand is good though.

I buy Sanex when its half price, last time I got one was in Sainsbugs and it was 75p, not under 50p I know, but still good value.

Another favorite is Tesco value cornflakes at 35p a box. We tend to alternate between these and porridge.
