Hi all for those of us who try to keep our expenditure to a minimum and budget go further, just thought you might take a trip to ASDA they are offering a 80 wash box of DAZ for £6, i have put this in another post but had to laugh when i saw several people with more than 4 boxes in their trolleys! 4 boxes would give you 320 washes for £24 that is nearly one a day for a whole year lol!


Good luck to you all, best wishes.

That's really good value. I wish they'd put Fairy non bio on special offer - it only ever seems to get dearer!

Not sure why this one is on offer skippy, it isn't the orginal so maybe not a good seller, however you wouldn't have thought that when i went in earlier today. Needless to say i have purchased two so whilst i might not have much money in my purse i am at least clean lol.

I love a bargain! Mind you, it doesn't always pay to stock up - I bought boxes and boxes of Whiskas cat food for Harry and he stopped eating it! I'm sure he did it deliberately!

I now stock up on things that we always need - loo roll, washing powder, soap etc. Nothing we might go off!

6 months ago i switched to shopping in Netto instead of Morrisons and can't believe the difference in my shopping bills. Am well impressed. Iceland do some really good deals too so by shopping about can manage to still eat well for less money

We use Fairy as we've got sensitive skin, and I use M & S unscented fabric softener as I don't like the strong smells on most of them.

They did Surf a few weeks ago - a 90 wash box for £8.

This is the size of powder I was buying from Makro, but paying a lot more for it.

I make sure we stock up on loo rolls. Been to Costco today and bought 48 of them! Should keep us going for a while!

I usually stock up on dog food and fabric softener and dishwasher tablets as well.

Harry will now only eat James Wellbeloved duck flavour dried food and £12.49 a bag! Luckily it lasts him a while. I'm registered with Pets at Home and they often do special offers in store or on mail order on all makes of food. The last time I ordered it was buy one get one free so even paying postage it was a good saving.

Sahsa my bengal has james well beloved. (plus tuna and cooked meat - the luxury of requiring a high protein diet and being preganant). Plus she is a hungry horrace and a bag doesnt last a month!

I get that from The Range, it usually £11 a bag, but is on offer at present at £8 so I have stocked up. lol. Maybe worth checking if you have a range local to you Skippy!

Costco is brilliant! I find it better than Makro - and at least they display the prices both with and without VAT so you know how much everything costs.

I'm so glad that I have two dogs who are not fussy about their food and eat Chappie and Butchers Tripe!

Adam, you cat sounds wonderful. You ought to get admin to put a picture of her as your avatar.

Thanks Kallis. I will get a good picture of her and do that. She is a beauty if a little high maintenance and rather demanding at times!
