Why Australian shoppers buy all their cleaning products at Bunnings instead of the supermarket

Shoppers are turning away from big supermarkets and instead scanning the aisles of Bunnings for cheap cleaning products.

Customers have noticed significant savings on things like dishwasher tablets and laundry detergent at the hardware giant.

Bunnings has been stocking bulk household and cleaning supplies for up to $20 less than major supermarkets.

“If you don’t buy cleaning products from Bunnings, you’re wasting money,” smart saver Cassandra Davidson he said in a video.

“I go and grab the dishwashing tablets, they’re 36 cents each, which is a savings of 24 cents or you get 10 more for $8 less.”

Fairy Platinum Plus dishwasher tablets are $56 for a pack of 42 at full price at Coles; however, at Bunnings the same product is available in a pack of 84 for $44.80.

The Dynamo 5.4L Professional 7-in-1 Liquid Laundry Detergent costs just $27.67 at Bunnings, while it will set you back $47 at the supermarket.

It’s not just Cassandra who has noticed the big savings at Bunnings.

“If you live near Bunnings, compare their cleaning supplies to supermarkets and Big W,” one woman on Facebook recommended.

“I found that their Dynamo is cheaper by $9 or so even though they are different types, ie: odor removal and deep cleaning.”

He added that he discovered that dishwasher tablets are not that expensive at Bunnings and suggested customers look online to compare prices.

“They beat the price too, don’t they? Even if it’s cheaper elsewhere, Bunnings will beat it,” one user noted.

“I bought 5 liters of Cold Power from Bunnings on sale a few weeks ago for $23, I was paying $12 for 1 liter at Woolies so it’s a win for me,” another replied.

One shopper discovered that Morning Fresh Lemon dishwashing liquid was almost half the price at Bunnings compared to Coles.

“I buy all my cleaning products in bulk at Bunnings,” said one mother.

“The same thing happened with washing scented pearls: Coles was selling them for $32, but Bunnings was selling them for $15.50,” another recalled.

Many shared the stores where they found cleaning supplies in stock at affordable prices, including Aldi, Reject Shop and Chemist Warehouse.

‘Dishwasher tablets and washing powder are still cheaper at The Reject Shop! “I bought 6kg of washing powder for $12 last week,” said one budgeter, and another agreed: “The Reject Shop. Half that price all the time.’

‘Chemist Warehouse is also good for cleaning products! Especially if you look for brands like Ecostore, always cheaper than Woolies,” wrote a third.
