I've just brushed my teeth and used listerine. I think it's expensive for a mouth wash but I will never buy a cheaper one as I think it is very effective.
Very boring I know, but makes me wonder about others.

Toilet roll

Just thinking what else, I was always told not to skimp on kids shoes and so far have always paid a fortune in Clark's but I'm starting to think maybe cheaper ones are fine...

Fairy washing up liquid is another, much better then cheaper.

Fevertree tonic.

Childcare. Willingly pay decent rates for our amazing childminder to do FT even though DSs are in school as she’ll then cover illness, INSET days etc
