Asda Smart Price Shampoo

BACKGROUND What with having two children and moving to a bigger house, we have been trying to economise on the grocery shopping. The shampoo that we were using was a little bit expensive, so I decided to try and find a cheaper one to use. PRODUCT The shampoo I decided to buy from my local Asda store is from their ‘Smart Price’ range. It only cost me 29p for a one litre bottle. I thought that this sounded like a really good deal as I normally pay about £1.50 for my regular shampoo, which was only a 500ml bottle. PACKAGING The packaging is typical of the ‘Smart Price’ range, using the red and ...  Read the complete review

I don't have much hair, but I do use shampoo. My wife uses a posh one and I don't want to waste it, so I bought a bottle of this. First impressions are awful; plain white bottle looks like some industrial chemical, but for 12p what can you say? The look takes me back twenty years to the cheap shampoo of my childhood. It's cream in colour, thick and oily looking with a sweet but obviously artificial smell. Again, not a good start. Finally, it lathers well, washes well, but leaves your hair feeling a bit abrasive and rough. The smell is actually quite nice. It smells like all cheap shampoo seems to, but that's OK. It reminds me ...  Read the complete review

I tried a bottle of this about 2 months ago and although I wouldn't buy this again, I thought it was worth a shot since it only cost 12p, and since I could write about my experience about this, then I could make money for the amount that I spent. This totally looks cheap and not that cheerful. It is a white plastic bottle and the only colour on this is the lime green colouring of the Smart Price writing. There is a little picture of what looks like a blob of the Shampoo, but the whole thing isn't that eye catching. I found this down the bottom shelf of the Shampoo aisle, and around the other side of the aisle I found the matching Shower Gel which cost a ...  Read the complete review

Our food bill has been getting a little out of hand again recently so my husband stepped in and we wrote an exact menu of what we would need over a two weekly basis. We scanned the pages on Asda.co.uk and looked at what we could cut back on. One of the things that bought about a little 'discussion' was the shampoo and conditioner that we are using; I have dyed blonde hair so need a good one whereas Andrew doesn't have a lot of hair and can get a way with any. In the end it was decided that I would stick to my usual and he would have a try of this Asda smartprice one which cost us 12p for a 500ml bottle. Now I just couldn't resist giving this a whirl when we finally had ...  Read the complete review

Asda Smart Price Shampoo Some people say you get what you pay for, other people say you pay for a name. In this case both are true, this is very cheap product only 12p but still does a great job and doing what you need it for. I originally bought this as a bit of a joke, i just couldn't resist at 12p, but when I used it I was pleasently surprised. White and creamy, it lathers up very well into wet hair and smells alright, although not great. After it has been washed out my hair feels a little rough still and definitly not silky smooth. To be honest I am not sure how different using an expensice shampoo would have been, obviously you get ...  Read the complete review
