If you could get Bold for 14p per wash (Makro) and Ariel for 15.5p per wash ( Sainsburys) which would you buy. Ariel is rated by Which and I like it, but you get fabric conditioner with Bold which usually makes it a bit more expensive, but in terms of quality of washing are they on a par?

Neither.. They both set off my eczema and are overpoweringly perfumed.. I'd get something much cheaper like the supermarket own brand or the like.LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0

I wouldn't want anything with fabric conditioner in. I like to control what has fabric conditioner and make sure nothin that shouldn't have it (e.g. Fleece) does and that towels mainly don't get it.
I spend ages tryin to choose the 'right' washing stuff, and always am sure I am missing something....0 -
I prefer Aldi's to either of those tbh. I rarely use fabric conditioner though.Normal people worry me.0

I use Ariel but only 1/4 cap fabric conditioner as we have really soft water. I try others but always go back to this.0

As stated by others, I prefer to control the amount of fabric conditioner I put into the wash. Certain washes are better without. I quite like Lidl's own if on special offer but Ariel is my preferred choice.0

I dont like fabric conditioner, so if I had to chose between the 2, it would be Ariel. However I always buy which ever powder is on offer, regardless of brand. If I wasn't so os I would always buy Fairy, which is my personal favourite.

lidls as its the only one that doesnt set of mine and my daughters skin with comfort fabric softener (the white one)The only people I have to answer to are my beautiful babies aged 8 and 50

Neither, I like a separate fabric conditioner because I don't want it in everything and I had a bad allergy to Ariel a few years ago and wouldn't buy it again. I use Surf (15p a wash, but less in reality because I use less than a full cap) and Sainsbury's FC.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0

Bold and Ariel are both the top of the range powder. The only difference is the perfume and conditioner.0
