Is Fairy Liquid a false economy?
I’ve just seen an ad for Fairy Liquid, which talks about how the higher concentrate and cleaning power of Fairy liquid makes it a better buy, subtly implying this works even at a higher price. I was mulling this over, and I have to congratulate it for sheer marketing genius. It reminded me of the probably apocryphal...
Worth a beer?
I have to say this is one of the most bizarre e-mails I’ve received, after one MoneySaver read my Mortgage Fee Reclaiming Guide “Martin, I owe you a beer !!
