Laundry alert!

[Tina G]

Today I saw a large basket of Purex 3-in-1 laundry sheets discounted to $2 at my local supermarket. I always pack those in a zip-lock baggie so I won't have to pay for laundry detergent and fabric softener. I really hope that they aren't being discontinued! I bought several packs to save for future cruises.

Good for you. If they are discontinued I hope you find something comparable that you will like

Tide now has "pods"

I prefer tide to purex. "All" also has something equivalent.

Unfortunately, I believe they have been discontinued. They have come out with something similar to Tides pods. I am not a fan of Tide and love Purex. I love Purex sheets for travel and have bought several packages which should carry me through several trips. Will continue to buy the sheets to save for travel as long as I see them and will try the new pods after that. I only buy the "free" as neither my DH or I like perfume or additives in our laundry detergent.

I only use them for traveling, so the one package I bought has lasted several years, and I still have some left.

 

I'll be on the lookout though, and buy some more if I see them. I like them better than the 'pods' I'm seeing advertised--easier to transport.

Doesn't the ship provide the detergent when you activate the washing machine?

[Bowie MeMe]

No the packages are $1.00 (quarters) and the detergent is not my brand and I think it does not disolve very well. I love the purex 3 in 1 for travel. Thanks for the warning as I will buy ahead some.

HAl has the machines that have

the free soap in them.

Just push a button.

Thanks for the alert! I was able to pick up the last pkg (22 sheets) at my local store this morning. Should keep me going for awhile on vacations.

[Jetswdo]

I just tested one out. See my post under tightwads! Anita

They are currently 4.97 on Amazon. Found none on sale in my area....

[Nebr.cruiser]

I should order a pack. I haven't seen any around here and though I have some left, I'd like to stock up. The pods look ok, just not as packable.

[Alaskanb]

That was my thought--just watch which one you order to get the 4.97 pack. I thought it was a great price.

[Gail & Marty sailing away]

That is a good buy ....

Those sound great! Where do you get them. I am in Canada and I have never heard of these.

Thanks

This will give you an idea of what they are--they come in different numbers but are now very hard to find in stores.

I bought mine at Shopper's Drug Mart. We used them on our last cruise, The Emerald Princess. They work very well and were so easy to pack.

I live in Gatineau, Quebec and found them at Shopper's Drug Mart (called Pharmaprix here). Good luck.

[operabob]

Most retailers have them in Western Canada.

Thanks for the link. Not sure if Royal Caribbean has facilities but if not I can use them on another trip. Super travel idea.

O Boy, lots of people seem to know about these. So kind of you to post a helper comment. Thanks!

[operabob]
