Household budget · 2026-04-26
Household products are part of the grocery budget too
A weekly shop is not only food. Cleaning, toiletries and laundry products can quietly take a large share of the basket.
The quiet expensive products
Washing capsules, toilet roll, shampoo, soap, bin liners, cleaning sprays and wipes are not glamorous, but they can push a basket up quickly. They are also easy to miscompare because brands, pack sizes and units vary.
Per wash and per bag matter
Laundry tablets should be compared per wash where possible. Bin liners should be compared per bag and by size. Shampoo and soap often need brand and volume comparison. These practical units make the site more useful than a simple product list.
Brand filters help normal people
Some shoppers want Persil or Fairy. Others want the cheapest own-brand option. A good site should let both people filter quickly without reading every product name line by line.
Use the live comparison
