From a cost/load standpoint, it is A LOT more expensive than regular detergent. You better believe it!
Tide liquid detergent 96 loads: $17.97 = $0.19/load

Tide Pods 72 cts (loads): $17.97 = $0.25/load

It's 32% more costly to use Tide Pods than just regular Tide liquid detergent. P&G is hoping for more consumers like you so they can rake in more profit!
i always overfilled the cups though. i never had the patience to hold it up in the air and watch where that line is. and i would spill it sometimes too, causing a mess that i would never have to spend cleaning up if i would just use the pods.
ive been doing laundry all day. i have been doing this shit for over 15 years now and i am just loving these pods. its like when the downy ball came out...
