Liquids V.s Liquitabs

Liquids are still more convenient, as you can pour liquid on the stain and scrunch it in. where as liquitabs are easy as you just chuck a pouch into the machine and off ya go with it.

I prefer liquids as you have flexibility in dosing and pre treatment of stains
 
Price!

Just thought I would give you guys the heads up on the prices that are "going on" with the new procter and gamble stuff that's on the market.

As I'm up north I took the opportunity to go to the local Morrison's Supermarket in a last ditch attempt to purchase the new P&G offerings as Asda and Tesco didn't have any.

Firstly, this New Lenor in the dark coloured bottles. £2 a throw! Bit steep I thought.

Secondly, the new 2x concentrated liquids. I've gone onto non-bio again for various reason's and I've paid £4.39 for a 20 wash bottle of Fairy 2x concentrated liquid!!! Yet Ariel "Power" is £2.50 a bottle.

Now is it me being tight fisted?!! £4.39 for a 20 wash bottle of liquid! I've bought it regardless because I wanted to try it and I need it anyway.

I haven't tried either yet but they better be good at that price. I'm tempted to shop around for this liquid though. Extortion!

Pricey indeed!

I can confirm that the new 'Premium' Lenor range is overpriced: my local Somerfield is selling it at £2.18, I couldn't believe it! I honestly can't see many people paying that price.

Knowing my local Tesco, the products will be gone by the summer, due to poor sales.

I found another local store, selling the now discontinued Lenor variant that I like, at £1.19 a bottle.

Who the hell is kidding who???
 
I think the new Lenor is £1.98 in normal supermarkets, Sainsbury's have it on offer for £1.49 (or £2.69 for a 1.5L bottle - usual price £3.59!!) at the moment.

It's not worth it - and what exactly does a "black diamond" smell of?!
 
sadose

Fairy is now a premium P&G product, like the new Bold range (i.e. costs more, get less). Powders and tablets have gone up in price, Liquitabs have increased in price and now come in packs of 18 instead of 20. The regular liquid has shrunk from 1.5L to 1.37L bottles - same size bottle with less in it, and the price has gone up too. Not surprising the concentrate is so pricey.

A good way of pulling the wool over their usual customers' eyes when they casually throw some into their trolleys without checking the amount in the pack/bottle or checking the price on the shelf.
 
Hmmm! Very true indeed. I shall try it this once and then revert back to Ariel sensitive liquid or even Filetti liquid which is now a lot more reasonably priced that what it once was.

Well, one has to try these new gimmicks I suppose! I shall see what the Fairy is like at the weekend.

One good thing I suppose is that Fairy powder is the same price as it has been for a while.
 
Woolite

I have the woolite all fabric one and its fantastic, i do all my topman cardigans in woolite on the wool cycle and they came out fantastic

i recommend this, i only use this on my delicates but everything else gets Persil Small & Mighty Biological
 
P&G Detergents

The Price of P&G detergents has been decided probably by P&G, all new products start off really expensive, then go down in price

I remember paying £4.50 for a box of Ariel Essential Tablets back in 1999, then gradually they came down in price.

I like Persil Small and Mighty, i got so many stains out with it, its very good on greasey food stains

...coal, perhaps?

These days they have completely daft ideas!
