Hi everyone ...
What brand of shampoo and conditioner do you use? how much do you spend ?
I buy Tesco Brand shampoo and conditioner 300ml each for 75p each,
Loreal is 250ml for £2.89 and Pantene 360ml is £3.69
I cant understand how people could pay that price to wash and condition their hair, I know some pay more certain brands are nearer to £5 each - crazy.
We have been using Tesco brand for a couple of years and I find it works very well, in smell and results are very similar to the Pantene ones, I will continue to use Tesco version as long as they still sell it, sometimes its on offer any 4 for 3 so £2.25 for 4 products works out at 56p each, great value, so next time its on offer I will get a few extra...there is the choice of For Normal Hair or Dry/Damaged Hair too which is great.
A couple of years ago I purchased some pump action shower dispensers for 50p each, I squeeze the shampoo and conditioner into one each and its really surprising how little you use when you use these, its so easy to squidge a handful out of a bottle when you don't need it, it stops kids emptying half a bottle on their head too hahaha I find that a bottle each when put into the dispensers last us about 3 weeks, and I wash my hair every day ..fab!! .. another advantage to these pumps are you can actually see what you have got as the dispensers are see through..so you don't un-necessary buy more when you can see what you've got !!
I know there is the value ranges out there that are cheaper and you get so much more for the money, but I find they dry my hair out terribly so I don't mind paying 75p each..however if we had a house full of kiddies I think it would be fine to clean their hair with the value brands, Tesco Value 1 ltr shampoo for 40p is a massive bargain...
I have tried the Alberto Balsam ranges, 400ml for 75p, fab value, they smell really nice but again dry my hair out, so I stick to the Tesco ones...these ones come in several smelly fragrances too ..
Hope that wasn't too boring for you all ??
Just what I use, and if that helps someone wanting to try it then great, it saves me money so I get to put more into our savings over the year.. all these little things make it able for me to save save save.
Its a No Spend Day today here..fantastic..
Happy Friday Everyone

I use the Alberto ones for myself which always seem to be on offer, although I do confess to being a huge Aveda fan a few years ago... would hate to think of the cost of Aveda products these days! Sx
Hi,
Just found your blog, via somewhere, maybe Dreamer.
Anyway, when I'm not doing a "use it up challenge" as I am now, the shampoo I buy is over five quid a bottle. I also buy my hair wax from the hairdresser and that's nearly £15. It's worth it to me, save on what doesn't matter - spend on what does!
