How much do you spend on shampoo and conditioner? The costs of these products vary enormously depending on the brands you buy but over a week, a month and a year they can really add up to an eye-watering amount of money. Go on, quickly work out how much you spend on keeping your hair clean.
Most people buy shampoo and conditioner (if they use conditioner that is) at supermarkets and continue to buy what they are used to buying. That simple act of adding them into a basket with all your other goods masks just what you are spending on individual items, not just shampoo. Next time you walk down the aisle to pick up your regular shampoo take a look at the prices. Be careful, they all come in different sizes so check out the price per 100ml if that's shown or work it out for yourself. Yes, the 3 for 2 offers help but you can reduce your spend even more - even halving it.
Let your eyes drop down to the bottom shelf of the shampoos and conditioners and towards the end of that bottom shelf. Chances are that's where the supermarket's own brand value shampoos and conditioners are. They usually have a plain label and don't really stand out much. The reason for this is that supermarkets like to say they offer value products but because they don't make much on them they put them out of our direct eyesight. Don't be fooled by this. A 500ml of shampoo for 40 pence is good value, compare 8p per 100ml with all the big brands. Remember, it's shampoo so it will clean your hair perfectly well. Even if you only use it every other wash you have virtually halved the amount you pay out to keep your hair clean - and that's no bad thing is it?
