WHEN it comes to being a parent, it can be expensive to keep the house stocked up with essential products.
One mum raved about finding one popular item, which is a staple in many households, that had been reduced to just 88p in M&S.

Taking to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, the mum showed how she had five tubs of Sudocrem thanks to the purse-friendly price.
She wrote: “88p each M&S bargain thanks mum.”
A similar 125ml tub from Superdrug or Boots will set you back £3.75, so it could be worth taking advantage of the savings.
Many people were impressed with the find, with one saying: “have to go look.”
Another added: “That’ll last you till the year 3000.”
And a third commented: “That’s a lifetime amount. Meaning Sudocrem seems not to go fast.”
Many mums will probably have a trusty pot of Sudocrem stashed away in the bathroom cupboard.
It’s a staple treatment for ailments like nappy rash and eczema.
But it turns out the miracle cream can also be a surprising asset to your beauty regime.
According to Glamour, the thick, white cream can come in very handy when it comes to dyeing your hair.
If you’re doing a DIY job at home, apply a layer of Sudocrem across your forehead to act as a shield.
This will stop the dye trickling onto your skin and leaving an unpleasant dark stain that takes hours of scrubbing to get rid of.
Sudocrem is also great for soothing bumpy rashes caused by plucking your eyebrows.
On top of that, it can provide relief from skin conditions like psoriasis, thanks to its hypoallergenic lanolin and zinc oxide.

The cream can also work wonders as a primer for underneath your make-up.
The bargain white stuff creates a semi-veil on your skin, which acts as a perfect base for your foundation and prevents it from caking.
And as if that wasn’t enough, it acts as an anti-wrinkle cream due to it containing zinc, which naturally tightens up your skin’s elastin fibre.
Finally, as the warm weather sets in, Sudocrem is a godsend if you suffer from chaffing.
Rub a load in the danger zone to keep your skin rash-free.
