				Surf is lovely - smells great and you don't have to use too much of it!

				I saw that Ang, not a bad deal. I went yesterday and I ended up with 2 boxes of 48 tabs that had been spoiled by what smelled of washing liquid for £3, £1.50 each form £3.50....considering I do at least 2 loads of washing a day that was a canny bargain.
I think Asda are doing a lot of deals at the moment, it's all good for everyone. Can't comment on the other supermarkets though as I try to stick to Asda.

				We use surf and have done for years. Tried daz once but it made my daughters eyes swell.
Theres not a lot we dare to change as little boy is so sensitive, i swear he would even know if i changed the washing powder.
Will deffinately pop into asda tomorrow though for a couple of boxes.
We go to makro every now and then and sometimes they have the huge boxes on offer for £5, they last for months.

				We go to Makro as well Mrs Skint - not as much as I used to though!
I buy their own fabric softener which is fine and a lot cheaper than the rest.   I also stock up on the huge boxes of powder as well.  Get the toilet rolls from there as well, always when Charmin is on special.   Came away with 60 a couple of weeks ago (1st visit in ages, and you can never have too many loo rolls!!!!)  should last us for a while!

60 loo rolls @ 240 sheets a roll=14400.
1 sheet per wipe,jeezo that could last you a lifetime!!!!
Only joking about the 1 sheet a wipe,I am not that tight!!!(I use 2 on a weekend)[:D]
