In an
attempt to reduce our shopping bills, many of us are swapping some of our ‘big
brand’ products for supermarket own versions or budget brands.
I’ve made
quite a few of these swaps in recent months, with one of my latest discoveries
being the Daisy brand available at Tesco.
The first
product that I tried from this range was the ironing water. Ok this item in
itself may seem an extravagance, but I find the waft of scented steam makes the
ironing process a bit more bearable. I have tried Comfort Vaporesse, but at
£1.40 this is becoming a bit pricey, so too is Tesco own label, which has
fluctuated between 80p and £1.20 at various times, though is currently selling
at 90p. Costing just 79p*, Daisy Lilac Blossom ironing water has a lovely
fragrance, and is just as good as the dearer brands.
Something I
always begrudge spending money on is bin bags. For the smaller bins in our
house, we use recycled carrier bags (when we get them, though we often reuse
bags), but for the larger swing bin and refuse sacks, I need to purchase bags
without paying too much. Daisy 50L tie handle swing bin bags cost just £1.11
for 25, and do the job just as well as more expensive versions. The 70L tie top
refuse sacks also represent great value at £1.49 for 20.
I’m
certainly planning to buy more of the products in the range, including washing
up 500ml for just 59p and 1L bottles of fabric softener for 99p.
Have you
tried the Daisy range?
*When I
bought the ironing water prior to writing this blog, I paid 79p, but I have now
seen it on the shelves for the higher price of 89p! It seems that prices change with the weather
these days.
