​Laundry powder in bulk

I buy my laundry powder in bulk at Kmart during their 15% off storewide sale. 15kg can last my family of 4 upto a year. at about $30 for the box it is a substantial saving for us.

Household Staples Cheaper at Discount Stores

My husband is an apprentice and we have two children under 4 years old, so as you can imagine our budget is quite strict. I save a lot of money by shopping at Crazy Clarks and the Warehouse for laundry lines and disposables. I always buy concentrated powders, you get a lot more washes and bulk toilet paper for under $4, tissues for $1 and bread for $1, even look through the hair care range for known brands that are quite reduced. Also I find it a lot cheaper to buy from the local butcher and green grocer than from large supermarkets.

​Shopping at Chemists for Basics

We have recently discovered that the chemist sells 1kg packs of laundry powder usually Spree or Surf for only $2.50 or less. Buying it this way makes it so much cheaper than the supermarket, which is usually at least $7 for 2kg. We are very happy with our new discovery.
