FOR years many shoppers have saved loads of cash by buying non-branded products – and this wife is no exception.

The anonymous Facebook user revealed that she's been stocking up on supermarket's own version of laundry detergents – but one day her hubby finally realised what's going on and his response has left people in stitches.

Sharing the hysterical conversation on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, the woman, from the UK, wrote: ''I'm laughing out loud.

''For years I have always decanted cheaper detergents into a more expensive bottle.

''Not once has Mr P asked why our Persil bottle is about 4 years old.

''Not once has he asked why it's gone from white to blue, to purple, to pink & whatever colour I pick up.''

She went on: ''Not once has he ever said how the scent has changed.

''Not once has he mentioned about the feeling of his clothes changing.''

All this time, the wife revealed, she had assumed that he had been aware of this money-saving hack.

But as she came to discover a week ago, this wasn't the case – he had truly been under the impression that the family household had been using the more pricey brand version.
