Laundry detergent tablets

[trampslady]

Can anyone find them anymore? I love to take them along on trips, and I'm having a hard time locating any in the Dallas area.

I'm having trouble finding them too...

I haven't seen them in a while. I specifically looked before our trip last week and came up empty handed.

I'm trying to locate them too. I did a search on google and nothing came up on buying them online.

[trampslady]

It's just like the toothpaste that they were selling in the kinda flat, oval-like container....those are mostly gone too....I know it's because there's less consumer waste...that means less sales.....

I found a website called http://products.peapod.com/29335.html but you have to see if the deliver to your area.

I tried Walmart & Target and could not find anything. Luckily we were at VWL & they supplied the laundry detergent (one use in a box).

[Magickndm]

Glad it's not just me, I looked for them this summer and couldn't find them anywhere.

I managed to come across them at Kroger about a month ago after seeing a thread about companies discontinuing them. I found them at the very top of the shelves at the very end. Only 3 or 4 boxes so I made sure I grabbed mine. Good luck!

I have never had a hard time finding them in the southern NJ area. I believe I've always found "Purex" tablets. Very convenient when traveling. I have always found them at Shop Rite.

I just saw liquid Tide in a travel size container at Target. It was in the travel section where they sell mini-toothpaste, mini-shampoo etc. This is the first time I have ever seen Tide in a travel size. Hope this helps!

I can only use tide (Skin allergy ) so having the tablets were great for us. We live in upstate NY and when away I always keep my eye out for them. Haven'tr seen any on Long Island, New Jersey, South or North Carolina.
I am tempted to write to proctor & Gamble.

I spend the last probably 6-7 months on a mission to find ANY laundry tablets that I could find. I figured they would be great for vacation but also for my son in college. I had zero success. I have looked everywhere that has been suggested and then some with no luck what so ever.

You should all move to the UK LOL
we have loads of them here most of our brands now do a tablet form rather than powder

[southern-minnie]

I was able to find 5oz bottles of Tide liquid at Big Lots for 49cents.

[sweet maxine]

I've got a large box of Tide tablets I bought at Big Lots. There are 112 tablets in a box for $9.99. I bought these about 3- 4 weeks ago.

I found Purex tabs at Giant for our WDW trip in July.

[kymi]

We have a Big Lots a few towns over - so I will make a trip there. I'm hoping I can find some. Thanks everyone---for your great suggestions. I also like the laundry mat one---will have to check out our local laundry mat to get some smaller sizes, if I can't find the tablets at Big Lots. GREAT IDEA!!!!!

[trampslady]

Thanks so much for the tips. I found them at Big Lots today based on your suggestions!!

[MINNIEBOWSER]

That answers my question on why I could not find Tide tablets. Thanks for the info.
I did get some Purex tablets at Shaws Supermarket for those of you in the New England area.

[disneymom33]

I saw the liquid Tide also at Tardet in the travel section...but then ran out at home and used it up. lol I thought about refilling it but I found Tide powder in a dollar store in a bag that would lay flat.I will probably get 3-4 loads...then throw out any left over so it doesn't spill.

[cepmom]

I just picked up at 25 oz bottle of liquid Tide (8 loads) for $2.99 at CVS. I grabbed it now because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find it when I need it!

[massiek]

I just bought some WISK discs at a local grocery in Ashland, Oregon. Great idea. Works out to less then 20 cents per laundry load. And definitely easier to pack then powder.

We have Sunlight and Tide tabs here on the East coast of Canada..

We are bringing 6 packs with us to wdw...Do you use the 2 tabs for 1 wash or does 2 tabs give you 2 washes. I am very sensitive to the smell and feel of leftover soap on my clothes. The washer repair guy from Sears said that he was told (and does this) that we should only use 1/2 of what the manufacturers tell us. They just want to sell their product.

He said unless you worked in the dirt all day, 1/2 is fine.

[turnlisa]

I used to use these all the time. I think it depends on what you are washing. If I was washing a load of jeans, I would use 2 tabs. Anything else, I usually only used one. They do work fabulous. I was really thrilled to be able to find some tabs for our upcoming trip.

[kymi]

I FOUND SOME---I FOUND SOME---WOO HOO!!! For all the New Englanders - I found them at Ocean State Job Lots. I have been searching for awhile and we are leaving this Saturday - so I'm thrilled.

[MINNIEBOWSER]

Kymi,


ME TOO!!!!! I just found them today too at Ocean State Job Lot. I was going to post it for the Mass. people but you beat me to it!
:hyper:

[gigi1313]

they are nearly impossible to find here also... i am hording the ones i have for our next trip!

found some online http://www.nextag.com/serv/main/buyer/outpdir.jsp?nxtg=959745_B08573F3828FCC27&search=laundry+detergent&OVRAW=laundry+detergent+tabs&OVMTC=advanced&OVKEY=laundry+detergent

Since I'm in the same boat as everyone else - I'll share my temporary fix for our next trip. For a few years now we've been pondering how to take our Duncan Donuts coffee with us (we never rent a car). We've mailed some with the rest of our supplies and we've stashed some in our bags. As much as I like the smell of coffee - we end up with either most of our supplies smelling like coffee (even double bag it) or the contents of our luggage smelling like vanilla bean. It finally dawned on me to try using my vacuum sealer. I made individual packets - and except for the fact that you need a knife to open them up - they worked out great. Now I'm trying it with my Tide as I'm saddened by the news that I can't replenish my tablet supply. Anyone have any luck trying this?

[karebear1]

I have never tried it , but I think it is a GREAT idea! Thanks!!
