Palmolive classic UK

[linuxman]

For those in the UK who like or want to try Palmolive shaving soap, just noticed in the local ASDA that the shave stick (50g) is 25 pence and the shave cream (100g) £1.13.

Tesco's are a penny cheaper !

Wonder why the price has crashed. Last time I bought any, I paid 50pence or so for the stick and 1.70ish for the cream. Strange.

The stick used to be 75p at Tesco, now its 24p, and may even go down more. I will wait until it stops, and then I'll buy a load.

It wouldn't suprise me if they are about to stop stocking Palmolive & they are trying to shift what they have left which is a shame because I feel Palmolive is the best budget soap/cream on the market.

Another thing ASDA has are Personna blades at £1.70 for a pack of ten.

Good deals!

I've had a pack of Asda Personna blades and they are quite good. I've noticed that the box and small printed card in front of the blades is identical to the own brand blades sold by Boots and Tesco, the only difference is the backing card. The blades have no markings at all.

Tesco...every little helps!

no I don't have shares in Tesco...or do I???

 

[linuxman]

ASDA 48 pence for the stick and £1.11 for the cream today. Maybe there is a futures market in shaving soap and cream........ or you all went out and raided the stock!

Try Superdrug for a nice tube of Ingrams for only £1.69, give you that great summer cooling effect.

Anyone else noticed how Palmolive Sticks have shot up again from 21p to 48p?? Why?

The rising cost of fuel would be my guess, seems to be sending the price of all sorts up at the moment!!

 

[FaPat5]

But the cream hasn't gone up (nor has any other shaving stuff).

 

[Sebby]

Maybe the 21p was just a special offer to stir demand.

 

[FaPat5]

No, it was that price in ASDA and Tesco, it kept decreasing for some weeks. But no special offer tag or anything.

The cream is now £1.08 in Tesco

Are you talking about the stick that can also be found at superlather.com?

If so, I've been really impressed with it lately. Very nice and cheap!

Yes, that's the stuff.

In my local asda

Palmolive cream 100ml - £1.11

Palmolive shave stick 50g - 48p

Great stuff.

I must pop to Asda and get one of these sticks. I'm travelling next week and it would be nice to take my DE, so it should be ideal.
