To be a snob about this? (Lighthearted)

[Ohwell14]

I am a washing up liquid snob. I will only use fairy liquid. No cheaper version ever gets used in my house and if someone sneaks a bottle in I give it to my dm

[LBOCS2]

That’s because it is the BEST. One of the few branded products I’ll use over any others.

YABU. It's a waste of money. Also see branded washing tablets and the like and dishwasher tablets.

[Anditstartsagain]

Me too same with toilet paper.

[Ohwell14]

I don't do it with anything else. I do all my shopping with Aldi, just oddly can't use any other washing up liquid and wouldn't even try it

[MaMisled]

Fairy fan here. It's the only brand I'm really loyal to. Nothing can beat it.

[WhyteKnyght]

I never understood this. I use the cheapest I can find. Together with hot water and elbow grease they all do the job just fine. Sometimes you have to use a bigger squirt if they are less concentrated, but it still works out much cheaper than buying the branded ones. I have just been on the "where have all the supermarket value products gone" and this is reminding me that it's one of the things I most resent having to buy "branded".

Im not bothered about washing up liquid but I have to have a branded washing powder they smell much nicer imo.

If you paying more than a pound more per bottle for Fairy then you're a mug, not a snob.

I used to only buy Fairy, but Aldi's Platinum one is exactly the same, so I buy that now.

[Shadow666]

I can’t get on with cheap washing up liquid. I think it’s a false economy. The article says that Fairy came out top 6 times but the Aldi one beat it this time but is only available in limited stores.

[Ohwell14]

I got the 780ml one for 1.50 today I do shop around when I buy fairy so I get it from the cheapest place

[lightgreenglass]

I only buy fairy platinum as it does cut through the grease and it lasts ages. I tried switching and it took longer to wash my dishes. Same goes for dishwasher tablets - any other brand and the plates have muck left on them, it's partly because my dishwasher is a bit crap too.

[PandorasXbox]

Buy cheap buy twice/thrice even.

It’s false economy buying cheap washing up liquid, you need half a bottle every time you wash up.

[BuggerOffAndGoodDayToYou]

Fairy makes my hands really itchy! I use Ecover or Method.

[owltrousers]

I was the same until I discovered tesco do a rhubarb and rose scented one and its amaaaazing.

[givemushypeasachance]

I'm not fussy with brands and buy plenty of value, Lidl/Aldi and even stuff past it's best before from Approved Food - but for washing up liquid it has to be Fairy! Other stuff just doesn't work as well and you need to use loads or it doesn't cut through grease.

[Steeley113]

Aldi one won awards over fairy. I was always a fairy girl until I washed up at my mums with Aldi orange one (pomegranate I think) and I was 100% converted.

[BenLui]

It’s not snobbery to be brand loyal to products that work well for you.

I will only buy Plenty kitchen roll. Everything else is a waste of money in my opinion.

[Ceto]

I won't buy Fairy because DH squirts the same amount into the bowl whether it's Fairy or Aldi's cheapest, despite my best endeavours to educate him that there's a difference. I'm not going to pay double for something that doesn't and can't last any longer.

[flyingpigsinclover]

We use fairy liquid because they sell massive catering packs in a local shop for £3 - they last about 6 months.

[PutTheBunnyBackInTheBox]

I'm a supermarket snob, I can't set foot in Tesco

[haveagobletofblood]

Fairy costs about £1 per month, is it really worth buying cheap washing up liquid.

[WhingyNinja]

I like the Waitrose own ones, there’s a rosehip and apple blossom one that smells delicious. It’s a quid too!

[WhingyNinja]

And Regina Blitz is the best kitchen roll I’ve found!

[Rafflesway]

I have had a dishwasher for over 30 years now so haven’t bought washing up liquid in a very long time. However, I never bought Fairy as the smell of it was foul!

Definitely not a brand snob apart from instant coffee. Only Kenco decaf will do 😸.
