On Wednesday, the kids and I went to Wal-Mart for a few midweek staples. One of the items on the list was Cascade dishwasher detergent, I even had a coupon. I pushed the semi-trailer 2 seater grocery cart to the detergents when I noticed how much cheaper the generic brand of dishwasher detergent was in comparison to Cascade, even with the coupon. We are talking over one dollar difference. In fact, I noticed the off brand was laughing at my coupon, laughing and saying “if you buy Cascade, you’re an IDIOT.” Well, I didn’t want to be an idiot, so I bought the cheaper brand and guess what? My dishes are dirty. There are many things that I buy the off brand, for instance, I think Target brand diapers are the bomb and the diaper wipes. Contact solution, applesauce, cereal and some paper towels I will try and buy the off brand. However, there are some items I will not change, like my coffee. My dear husband once tried to trick me by switching the off brand into my Folgers can. That went over like a whore in church. Needless to say he knew how serious that offense was when a police officer showed up at our door wanting to arrest him for fraud, not to mention the trust issues that resulted in. But we’ve moved forward. I think.
Somethings are great, somethings are not, somethings work just the same. Too bad it cost money to figure it out.
Oh and P.S. I rinse every dish before placing it in the dishwashwer. It’s not me, it’s the soap.
I’m that way about eco-friendly, organic stuff. The difference in cost is worth it to me. I think it drives Rich nuts.

Take it back and get your money back

Definitely get your $$ back. And BTW–the coffee trick, you know Bri comes by that genetically, right?!?! (I’ve done it a time or two myself….:-) ) Oh–and I’m currently using Meijer brand DW soap and it’s fine, should you find yourself there and needing soap at some point….

Whore in church. My diet coke went up my nose on that one. There are somethings I will not compromise on either: Razors, toliet paper, mac n cheese, pop tarts. Need I say more? You bring the fakes into my house and your facing sleeping out in the shed buddy!
