Default Is there anything special about Balgrip tile adhesive?

I'm just reaching the end of the second 15kg tub and have still got a
lot of tiles to hang - at £25/tub it's getting expensive!

Never skimp on tile adhesive, especially in bathrooms. I've tended to use
Bal White Star when using readymix, or Arduflex for powdered. Basically, if
it doesn't claim suitability for commercial swimming pools, I'm not
interested!

Wickes high-grab (or whatever it's called), waterproof tile adhesive is very
good. B&Q Value is very bad.
