What have you never bought or no longer buy because you think it's a waste of money?

Dog accessories - they have a coat for the depths of winter but that's it.
Bath bombs - completely pointless.
Many kitchen gadgets.
Clothes/shoes that aren't a perfect fit.

I also don't buy air freshener/ plug in type things (or wax melts/ those stick things).

I disagree on your list of cleaning products - you don't need zoflora or bleach!

Their digestive systems have evolved to eating worms, not left over oil from roast potatoes.

Gave up on Kitchen roll- buy these instead

I have never understood how you clean with bleach. Partly because it smells horrible, I would hate my house to smell like that all the time. But also - do you mix up fresh cleaning product every day? Can you leave it mixed? How do you know what solution to make? Don't your clothes get bleach stains all the time? How do you just do a quick wipe of the kitchen surfaces, do you get your gloves and cleaning clothes on every time? I just don't get it.

All of those shows are free votes on the app or online in strictlys case.

Me, I don't like other brands. Probably because I grew up eating Heinz, but I try others now and again and they're just not right.

There's nothing Heinz I eat a huge amount of though, so it's hardly costing me a fortune. £4 on some ketchup every couple of months is fine.

Few comments saying all I need to cheap is bleach, fairy liquid and zoflora - can someone explain how I use all these products to clean? Like in the bathroom, what combo would I use for floor, sink etc?

I pour kitchen fat into a ramekin and chuck it in the next slow cooker meal.

I don't understand how people are not using kitchen roll. In the last few weeks I've used it for:

• cleaning up cat sick/errant poos/wees over the edge of the tray (I have two old cats)
• cleaning up small spills (I don't have enough cloths to use a new one every time my child spills something)
• drying off a cleaned surface so we can use it
• dabbing grease off greasy food/keeping pancakes separate so they don't get soggy
• wrapping cut flower stems to keep them damp while taking to a friend's house
• cleaning windows (we don't get a newspaper so can't use that)
• emergency tissue when you sneeze but aren't anywhere near a tissue
• staunching nosebleeds (admittedly not ideal but better that that walk up the carpeted stairs bleeding)
• dabbing small wounds

Kitchen roll is so useful. I understand you can use a cloth for all these things, but kitchen roll is just so much easier.

It’s just another name for washing up liquid!

I’ve never been one for loads of different cleaning products- bleach and washing up liquid does it….clean everything with washing up liquid which I dilute into a scooshy spray bottle, and I only use bleach down the loo.

No fabric conditioner-I live in a very soft water area so we don’t need it.
No air fresheners/candles/diffusers etc-I don’t like the chemical smell, so just open windows.

I had a horrendous magazine habit when I was younger but gradually stopped buying them with the advent of t’internet, I’ve bought one occasionally at the airport but then get pissed off at the amount of adverts..

I’m quite low maintenance/lazy beauty wise, but I do get my hair coloured by my friend who’s a pro but does mates rates.

I DO use kitchen roll, but not a huge amount of it

Get more cloths
I still have my baby muslin cloths that are really useful where ever you seem to use kitchen roll

That’s ridiculous. Face wash is considerably more expensive.

You can also use worn out clothes to make cloths

What do you use now? Dilute some washing up liquid in an empty spray bottle and use that in the way you’d use whatever specific cleaner you use now, use on everything, then I use a quick swoosh of bleach down the loo (I know not everyone agrees with this but we all have our thing!)

It is becoming a bit 'Four Yorkshireman'.

Which these threads always do.

100% agree! Worst thing about buying 2nd hand clothes is getting rid of conditioner smells!

The PP who doesn't buy Home Insurance has genuinely worried me.

I know they said that they like to live dangerously', but not buying home/contents insurance isn't the place to stick it to the man.

Totally agree.

And white vinegar

I agree, I hope to hell it never happens but I have visions of her being subject of a social media appeal having lost everything but the clothes she stands up in!

Thanks, @Heyhoherewegoagain ! I was imagining a big brick of carbolic soap!

I switched to using an ECO egg (with the pellets) for laundry a couple of years ago - absolute game changer, will never go back to using washing powder/pods.

Aaah, the four Yorkshire men. Luxury, I tell you 😍

Excellent for floor spills and you can just throw away afterwards. Sponges and cloths have to be washed.

I have a cat. When she throws up, I mop up with kitchen roll and throw away immediately., before cleaning the floor. I wouldn't really want to re-use a sponge of cloth that has been used to clean up cat sick.
