Morning Fresh dish soap: the Amazon AU 1.25L bottle vs the 400ml bottle at Woolies
Same Morning Fresh Original formula — the Amazon AU 1.25L bottle costs about 63% less per 100ml than the 400ml supermarket bottle. The per-wash maths and how long a bulk bottle actually lasts a real household.
Morning Fresh Original 400ml at Woolworths is $6.00 when it's not on special — a bottle that lasts most households a few weeks at the kitchen sink.
Amazon AU sells the same Morning Fresh Original formula as a twin-pack of 900ml and 1.25L bottles totalling 2,500ml for $13.98 — working out to a fraction of the per-100ml cost of the supermarket bottle.
The actual prices, side by side
Why dish soap is a classic "grudge purchase" markup
Dishwashing liquid sits in the same category as hand soap and shampoo on this site: a small, frequently-repurchased item that most households buy on autopilot rather than comparison-shopping. Supermarket margins on that behaviour are real — the 400ml bottle is priced for someone grabbing it without checking the unit price, while the bulk bottle is priced to reward a household willing to commit to a bigger purchase up front.
How long does the bulk pack actually last?
A household doing dishes daily typically gets through a 400ml bottle in 2-4 weeks depending on how concentrated their usage is (a few drops per wash vs a generous squirt). The 2,500ml bulk pack scales that to roughly 3-6 months of supply — a genuinely long runway, but dish soap doesn't go off sitting in a cupboard, so there's no real downside beyond the shelf space the second bottle takes up while waiting to be opened.
