RIP Tresemmé

[NCso]

Honestly, so disappointed.
Tresemme was great value for money. I accepted when the 800ml bottles sneakily changed to 680 or whatever the volume of ozempic tresemme became. It was still okay - most supermarkets kept the offer price at £3.50, it smells nice, lasted a long time, I don’t need anything salon quality it did the job.
New bottles are 500 or so ml, look awful and no longer on offer, the price is easily hitting the £5 mark.

AIBU to be fed up of everything getting smaller and prices going up?

And yes, I understand companies can do what they want, I know prices go up. But what a sad little life for us consumers.

Hahaha

This is not how product profitability works. You can make a profit off even a low priced item if it costs pennies to make & transport.

Would also suggest trying the Aldi & Lidl dupes.

Aldi (not sure about Lidl) also does an Aussie dupe which I use.

Do those people who recommend Aussie not struggle to get the shampoo out of the bottle? After a couple of uses I have to upend the bottles to get anything out.

What I meant was that if you sell someone a massive bottle of shampoo for £3.50, they don't spend much on shampoo. That amount would last me months, as an aside, I have no idea what the poster who says 'I make the 900 ml bottle last a whole month' is doing with it, drinking it?

Say I buy 2 bottles a year, that's £7 a year on shampoo, which is hardly anything. If the price changes to £5 for 500 ml, the same amount of shampoo costs about £18, so the amount I give them per year has more than doubled, with minimal changes in costs - plastic bottles, ingredients, production costs and transport will be pennies per item either way.

Any recommendations for a shampoo for vivid hair? Couldn’t get on with tresseme at all and currently alternate between Aussie colour shampoo and bed head colour shampoo.

I struggle with a lot of shampoo bottles to the extent that I decant into squeezy travel bottles (from Superdrug) for home use as well as travelling. Also means you don't potentially suffer the pain after dropping a big bottle of shampoo on your foot in the shower that a few posters have mentioned.

I store the original bottles upside down in a basket in the bathroom cupboard and then when the small bottles are nearly empty, refill them but it still can take a bit of 'shaking down' to get the second half of the shampoo out of the bottle. I have a personal bugbear with packaging that seems to be designed to make the user waste a significant portion of the product and am determined to beat manufacturers at this game.

Tresemme is cheap crap full of strong alkaline detergents, like all the other supermarket shampoos. I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole.
