So I bought these:
I got them at Wal Mart for $5.47 and I had a coupon. I thought Why not?
I really did not expect much from them. I'm a Tide with Febreze kind of girl. But I figured 24 loads for $4.50 (19 cents/load) I would have them on hand for my emergency stash. Aka. When I run out of laundry detergent and something needs washed.
Well I didn't have to wait long. HOW do 3 people create sooo much laundry?
I tried. And I liked. I really liked.
I was shocked. So easy (I know -- how difficult is it to measure out detergent and then grab a dryer sheet) but after you do this you get spoiled. Plus I had a coupon in my package. $3 off. Which means my next buy was only $2.47!!! That's 10 cents a load people!!
{My Tide with Febreze was 25 cents/load}
And just because I'm a numbers
I spend about $130/year on Tide. (10 loads a week)
PLUS $26/year on Bounce dryer sheets
Total: $156/year on laundry
Switching to Purex 3 in 1 $98.80/year
I just saved myself $57.20!
*Prices were taken from Walmart.com
I'm buying them...not only cheaper - and easier - but my clothes are soft and smell yummy. Way important.
And, when my box was empty I couldn't throw it away.
Before: Under my Kitchen sink
After:
haha yea I'm silly. But it's holding all those plastic bags. {I plan on pretty-ing it up here someday. Silly I know. But I like pretty.} Plus when I need one I don't have to get a bag that's holding a bag that has 2 bags inside it. And it's nice and neat.I'm really glad I tried this. Otherwise when Kroger had the liquid Purex on sale for $1.99 (24 loads) I would have kept walking. I bought them this time! (This was taken from my We're the Joneses blog from last week. I thought it better fit here)
Have you ever tried something and were pleasantly surprised?
P.S. This was not a slam Tide post. :) I do like Tide. Esp. those little tablets they have now!
P.S.S. I was working on my blogs this morning (all 4 of them...) at the breakfast table this morning. {Shame on me I know}. Josh asked what I was doing. "Mommy blogging" "That's boring stuff." Thanks kid. Talked about what a review was. And he asked if he could review something? Why not? So tonight after school look out for Joshua's non-mommy censored first review. {I'll give him a list of questions but I won't help him write it!} Good for moms because who is more honest than a 7 year old giving his opinion? Good for us - because what great skills to work on! Talk soon!
