There's a buy 3 for the price of two offer that means rather than having it work out at 41p per 100g, it is now 27.7p per 100g.

I bought 3 tubs of this today, ohhh and 2 cans of Tesco's own brand anti perspirant (41p each). So that's the kitchen sink and waste disposal unit taking care of for a while.

No more fighting with soap suds leaving one sink and coming up the other. :mad: A quick spray of deodorant will sort them out. Many thanks to whoever on here posted that fab tip. :T

The bicarb work wonders for getting rid of any pong from the waste disposal but I grudge paying full price for something I'm literally chucking down the drain.

So much for telling my Mum not to bother with a basket as I wasn't buying anything. :rotfl:

p.s I also bought Soda Crystals and Stardrops in Semi Chem and a pack of microfibre cloths in B & M - all on the basis of threads I've read on here.

Thought this place was to save me money...

Anyone know where I can buy larger quantities of baking soda for cleaning etc. The ones in home baking aisle are too small but haven't seen it in cleaning aisle. Is it under a different name?

Chines supermarkets stock it apparently I live in the sticks, so we don;t have one

Take a look at this older thread for more ideas; I'll merge this later.

Hi,

You're looking for bicarbonate of soda. Not to be confused with baking powder, which is a mix of bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar (tartaric acid).

Boots sell a big box for indigestion.

Go to a swimming pool chemical dealer. Sodium Bicarbonate is used to increase the alkalinity of pool water. A 25kg commercial bag would work out cheapest if you intend to get through loads of the stuff.

I've found them a chemist shop and in an Asian supermarket.

Thanks for all the replies. Never even thought of a chemist!

Does anyone know where I can buy large bags of bicarbonate of soda ?
and preferably somewhere I can walk into to buy ( not online shops ) I know Tesco do small pots in there bakery aisle, but I need a larger amount to cover a bedroom floor.
Many Thanks
