Borax and bicarb at Tesco

rosh12

Hi there-

I went to pick up some Ecover at Tescos last night, and while I was standing there pondering how cheeky they are to market their own brand "not particularly eco but hey, wave a leaf at it, paint the lid green and put it next to ecover" cleaning products, I noticed they now sell 500g boxes of borax and bicarb.

I know these are sometimes hard to track down so hope this helps someone!

Did you notice the price of the bicarb ? I have been buying it at Boots which is not that cheap.

I haven't been down that aisle for a while in Tesco (too much Stardrops in my cupboard :whistle:). I saw borax in Wilkos the other day, too....

Hmm. Sorry- can't remember the price. Sorry! They were only 500g packs, so I did think they wouldn't be big enough for hardcore OS-ers!!!!!

Thanks for this Rosh, I have been looking for Borax. I went to several chemists yesterday and was told that they have stopped making it. I thought it was rather odd as I have seen it in Boots somewhere, and why would they have it as a cleaner in the "Old Style Cleaning" books..

Maybe someone who regularly shops on line at Tescos could look them up and post the prices?

I got washing soda at Tesco the other day and it was 52p I think

What do you use borax for?

The bicarb is 99p for 500g online, but I couldn't find the Borax. My search didn't show anything so it might not be in my local store yet.

I don't think everything in store is always online.

They are both 99p each (I think) I buy both reguarly.
I put Borax in my washing machine drawer its supposed to boost the power of your detergent think it may be a whitener too but don't quote me on that. Also use it to make a HM cleaner see website www.allecoandbeautiful.co.uk thats where I got my info from
