sorry I read your post wrong and made an assumption, I use soda crystals for most of my cleaning and in the bath, caustic down the drain and bicarb for baking/indigestion.lindos90 said:Thanks for the comments, although Soda crystals are probably good for cleaning, as Pipney says, it is different, it is specifically bicarb I'm hoping to buy, and hopefully from a high street store rather than online. Sounds like other people have had the same idea if prices are rising (Pardon the slight pun there!)
Appreciate the advice . I'll have a look in Aldi and Wilkos

No problem at all Bettie, I do have some soda crystals, but use it with a bit more caution. I've since ventured into town for a dash around Wilkos and found a smallish box for £1.75, much cheaper than buying the tiny tubs in the baking section anyway!Bettie said:
