New DUO laundry powder strength ... Does it NOT seem that concentrate to you ?

Yep Baths, i think it is a suds issue.

How much do you pay for 20kg bag? Just that i've seen it at a Turkish delicatessen in Dandenong which stock it, but am unsure of the price.

The price can really vary... but usually works out to be between $2.40 and $2.70 per kilo. I don't think it's ever got as high as $3.00 per kilo. I haven't got a calculator handy but obviously $2.40 x 20 and you will get the price. My haphazard mental arithmatic says about $48 per bag but I also recall paying less than that so i could be wrong...

That's fantastic value for money.

I usually stock up on non-perishable items such as laundry powder, diswashing detergent when they are on special at the supermarkets. Even then, the new 500gm Fab or Duo is around $1.99 per 500gm box.

I'm checking the 20kg Omo out this weekend.

Thanks again for the tip. Greatly appreciated.

Mitre 10 Hardware and KMart also occasionally stock OMO, Drive etc in large 12/15 kg boxes. Not quite as cheap as Bass but still way under what you pay for those tiny little 1 / 2 kilo boxes. We'd go through two of those boxes a week! I don't know why families buy them... so expensive... maybe ok if you were a single person or a pensioner who doesn't go through much I guess.

ive recently changed from omo bulk to euka from mitre 10, i have a front loader and use a dessert spoon for each wash, was $50 for 10kg but because you use such a small amount it lasts for ages!!

I usually only buy the 10kilo's box of DUO from BigW (sometimes two of them when on special) ... but ran out & bought the small box of ' New ' Duo from Coles to try it out ... wow, such a disappointment feeling ripped off

Bath, where about's in Brunswick do you buy the big OMO ??? ... As my folks live up the road from Brunswick (would you believe i was only shopping in Brunswick this past Sat for the first time in 20years)

I can't use Dynamo or Fab on DD's sensitive skin but she is fine with Duo ... How is the OMO on sensitive skin ??? ... BATH anyone in your family have sensitive skin & obviously are fine with it (no reactions) ??? ... (Thanks )

Smiles: Bass Foods is on Victoria Street, to the left as you drive north up Sydney Rd Brunswick. I don't think it's open Sundays. I'm sure you'll find it a useful place to visit No one in my family has especially sensitive skin although my DD used to get eczema on her legs... but she seems to have grown out of that. I don't like highly perfumed laundry detergents and OMO isn't too bad compared to some if you just stick to 1 scoop per load. We'll have to make a trip there either this weekend or next so i'll update the price of the 20kg bag as it does seem to fluctuate.

You are soooo right. We go through about 2 boxes per week, but as i said i try and stock up when its on special, but your way is still way cheaper.
