At Lidls now, screen wash with antifreeze 5lit for £5.99.
I used this neat last year all through the winter and even at -20C it didn't freeze in the jets!!!
In fact I last filled it neat in March and in summer all I've done is top it up with water and its still soapy!!!
Hope this helps.

Re: Recomended screen wash
That's a good price.
Is it not bad for paintwork when neat though ?
Although having said that, when new they just have a bit of neat screenwash put in the washer bottle. Its filled with water at PDI

They try to get away with doing that also.
All levels are allways as little as they can get away with, and have to be corrected by the dealer, and the tyre pressures have to be corrected as they are pumped up a lot higher, to stop flat spots forming during the times when the vehicle can, and will be standing for long periods of time.
If the vehicle come from abroad it stands around at the factory car park, dock side, on the ship, at the dock when it arrives, at transportation storage areas on route, at the dealer etc,
At the PDI they get brought down to the correct pressure, and all the fluid levels go up to where they should be.

Re: Recomended screen wash
I agree with that comment, because it's not intended to be used undiluted, if it were then when mixed with the water it would be too weak!Is it not bad for paintwork when neat though ?

Re: Recomended screen wash
I've got about 12.5 litres left in the garage from last winter - once I started using it (at 30% conc) no more problems with frozen washers, even down to below -15 we had last winter. The only problem I had with it was breaking the windscreen in the Picasso! Son was asleep in the car, so left then engine idling for about an hour, then we went off out. Washed the screen (it was -10 at the time) and it cracked right across the middle - from a tiny chip in the middle
