To ask for - Best low cost thing you’ve bought recently ?

[PollyCherry]

As a flip side to the expensive letdowns thread , has anyone bought anything low cost that’s been good ?
I got a mascara in b and m that’s great on my long blonde but thin eyelashes.
And an ineos hand wash that is actually really nice.

French body oil from a pharmacy - smells like nuxe but a fifth of the price and the sprayer on the bottle is better too.

New Zoflora Golden Sands smells great. Repurposed my old purdy and fig bottles and it makes a good disinfectant spray.

Thank you for the link @MrsPositivity1

sounds interesting, what is it called plz?

Colourful ice cube trays. I've been using them for ice cubes, home made jelly beans and to freeze lemon juice

Some people really cannot help themselves. They see a lovely, enjoyable thread and immediately have to descend on it with their dour righteousness. So annoying.

I'm going to use extra fabric conditioner today in order to cheer myself up. Think I might have some of those scent booster pearls too?

I'd actually normally be with you on the not liking self-righteousness on threads. And I get you just want nice things said on this thread. But I live right next to two little rivers and am always really concerned about what goes into our water systems. All sorts of stuff is poured in and you can actually see the damage. And fabric conditioner is not biodegradable and is harmful to aquatic life.
I think it's good people are informed so they can chose. I'd like to know.

It's a bit like spraying wasp killer in a room with goldfish. You might like someone to let you know that it's harmful.

Anyway, self-righteous rant over and on with the fun thread.

Sure. Being sanctimonious on a Mumsnet shopping thread is the way to fix water pollution. If only someone had thought of it sooner!

Are you aware that the mining and manufacturing of some components in the device you're using to post on here, cause massive damage to the environment?

Yes. That's a proportionate and reasonable comment. My answer is that I need a mobile for work. I don't need to use fabric conditioner.

I'm not trying to attack anyone by the way. If you are happy using FC then that's your choice.

God another nice thread ruined by the thread police!

Lots of things are bad for the environment, particularly coltan mining for mobile phones. There is no amount of FC I could use that would touch the damage done by water companies dumping sewage. I like Fairy FC, some are way too strong. I dont use perfume though so thats an offset. Wonder if the FC police use it?

Is the thread ruined though? I don't think I'm policing anything? It's mumsnet. People probably don't immediately vomit at the.sight of a post they disagree with or don't want to see??

I do get it. The reaction just shows though how fanatical environmentalists like Extinction rebellion have ruined the general conversation as people now instinctively recoil at anyone suggesting chemicals in our water is not great for wildlife.

Anyway. As I keep saying. Back to the fun thread. The point has now adequately been made on both sides.

Well no one's posting any bargains anymore, are they?

That's because everyone keeps banging on about the environmental dangers of mobile phones!! So people are frightened to use them now to post about bargains.

Honestly..you environmental fanatics!

I added FC to my Tesco shop when I previously wouldn’t have thought about it 😄

Good price for an Ionic hair dryer

I've just ordered a new phone, laptop and a printer despite the old ones just being manky but still working, all because of this thread.

Solidarity x

The rivers and streams of the UK thank you for it 😃

It isn’t low cost but if it broke I would buy it again - it’s a little hand held Shark vacuum. So handy when you can’t be bothered to get the big hoover out.
It has a tiny collection area and it doesn’t run for long but that’s ok by me.
It’s just to get crumbs up or reach hard to reach places ( particularly in the car ).

Could you possibly link to those ones please? How have you found them? I’ve not used anything like that but I’m wondering if I should and I like the look of those because I think I can feel how they’d feel, if that makes sense? Thank you!

Here you go;

I feel my anxiety reducing when I play with them. I always thought the value of fidget toys was exaggerated but I have found my thing.
