I use a boutique hotel supplier - premium quality and I signed up to their offer emails (used to be every Friday). You can get a voucher if you sign up (might be £10). Here is a link - they are not the cheapest but quality is excellent (also for bedding, robes, toiletries and slippers - I buy the executive mules but not for all as no backs) - there is one style of towel in "offers" as I look this morning.Save £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £4863.32 out of £6000 after May (81.05%)
OS Grocery Challenge in 2025 I am at £1286.68/£3000 or 42.89% of my annual spend so far
I also Reverse Meal Plan on that thread and grow much of our own premium price fruit and veg, joining in on the Grow your own thread

Thanks for the link Suffolk Lass. Always handy to know where to buy quality items from. I’d rather pay a bit extra for something that lasts. I’ve read great feedback about Premier Inn beds, duvets and pillows although nothing to do with towels but worth noting.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

Once our bedroom has been refurbished I’m definitely getting a Premier Inn bed. I’ve never stayed in a Premier Inn but the reviews for their stuff are amazing 👍I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4
