Laundry detergent tablets

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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?
