Introduction: Unfortunately the economic state of this country is not going well, and peoples pay rises (if they get one) are less than the rate of inflation. This means peoples disposable incomes are getting less and less and there is increased pressure on spending. One of the ways I personally try to lessen the impact of tighter budgets is to try and make my weekly essentials shop as economical as possible. Where I can I 'down trade' from well known luxury brands to cheaper, supermarket own brands. I only do this where is makes sense, as if the product is useless or the taste is poor then I trade back up. Washing up liquid is one of the things I am trying to ...  Read the complete review

When we were having a 'poor week' and were very low on washing up liquid, I thought I would buy this to give it a try. I use quite a lot of Tesco Everyday Value products and usually find I'm quite impressed with them, but I certainly wasn't with this! It costs 33p for 500ml, so is very cheap, but you have to use so much more meaning it is not at all cost effective.

It wouldn't cut through greasy pans at all, and they ...  Read the complete review

I've been trying out some super cheap supermarket value items- although not all value stuff is that cheap anymore but seeing this washing up liquid at 33p for 500ml I thought I would try it.

The washing up liquid comes in a white bottle with nice kitcheny pictures depicted on it and has a squirting flip top lid. The bottle is okay quality and so is the lid, it's easy to open and easy to squeeze. The liquid itself is dark green like most liquids. Pouring it under running water I realised just how runny it is, you need loads to get ...  Read the complete review

Another product from my brand downgrade challenge from MSE. I thought I had really cracked it here as this washing up liquid is the cheapest one in tescos even more than daisy. Its 33p and claims to wash through grease and fatty residue. The colour of the liquid is a murky green, its is quite thin and watery compared to other brands. It doesnt really smell of anything except a faint scent of chemicals, and it does not produce big fluffy white bubbles. It does clean things that arent really that 'dirty' like cups and glasses. However if your trying to do your whole days washing up with just a few squirts in a bowl of water, it will not work and the water ends ...  Read the complete review
