    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


    What is it please??? :rotfl:;):rotfl:

    I haven't tried the sprays - I always use the one that is priced there at £4.60 and I see they do a travel version of the same.

    They are available on amaz0n and fleabay and health food shops so shop around for best price.

    They do last months and months.

    Well I started reading this thread and only up to page 9 but love it. I think I am going to do my best to buy the basics and value version of things and give them a go.

    I havent had rice pudding for ages and looked on my diet website and I can have half a can for 8 syns so half of my syns for the day.

    Not sure I will be eating Tesco Value Beef burgers as on the list of the ones that was found with horse DNA.

    Morissons savers apple and black currant squash I bought for the first time on Monday. It was 28p for a litre bottle and I was pleasantly surprised. it's not thick like Ribena etc but makes a nice warm drink. Bargain..
  • sponges - perfect for washing up/cleaning my grill pan
    dishcloths - can be rewashed 2-3 times b4 they fall apart,
    washingup liquid - does as it says on the tin
    toilet cleaner - clean fresh scent, leaves my loo sparkly clean
    multiuse liquid - fresh lemon scent and cleans my floor perfectly
    furniture polish - not heavily perfumed, does the job without making my skin itch
    chopped tomatoes - good enuf in chilli or spag bol if whizzed in the blender
    teabags - omg!!! cant believe i didnt buy these sooner!
    rubber gloves - good enuf for cleaning or washing up
    handwash - new formula has a lovely grapefruit like scent to it, very nice
    cream cheese - easy to jazz up
    tortilla chips - good at xmas as a nibble
    pasta - is ok for what it is but try to buy the next own label up if i can
    all the above are Sainsburys basics - will add more as i think of them

    did a huge online shop the other week..... got a few goodies to add to the above:
    kidney beans - perfect in chilli, dnt need much reheating to soften them up
    surface cleaning wipes - over the 50p limit but do a good job for what they cost
    cooked sliced ham - again over the limit but price per slice makes it work, normally hav this on toast for breakfast in a hurry
    diced pork - works out to about 50p per 100g, cooks nicely in a casserole
    brown sliced loaf - ok for toast or sandwiches

    again all basics - but the majority of my shopping is basics anyway so

    Hi everyone - sorry if this has already been posted.

    Popped into the local Co-op yesterday and bought 'Soreen' loaf for 50p. Not everyone's cup of tea but it is low fat and stickily yummy! :)
