> Over a year of daily washes, it would have cost £174 ($242) in Bob cassettes alone! Imagine paying that much recurring cost for a dishwasher!

We pay at least half of that depending on store prices and whether or not we use name brand Cascade and Jet Dry.

That's presumably for a normally sized dishwasher though?

Yep. I purchased some new tablets yesterday (I'd say the most popular ones available) and they were abou 0.12c (€) per tablet. So assuming usage every day of the year (not uncommon in our household) that's €43.80 a year.
