At Home Bargains.

Halfords are selling 250g for £2.50 and 1kg for £7.

Not sure if your local store will have it but mine did so I'll be stocking up.

I ignored those words because it made no sense to me!
Never heard of home bargains.

So the halfords prices were like a contrast, how interesting.

Home Bargains is based more up North. Do you live down South below Birmingham? If so they don't have any stores.

Thumbs Up

Usually pretty cheap for a big box(even less if you can get them at work Wink ) and saves you from removing half your epidermis with cleaning products and grit.

I got a jug of the stuff from costco for under a fiver, not sure how big but it's the same size as a 4-5 litre jug for under a fiver, definately cheaper than fairy liquid and sugar, better too.
