Tide with Bleach

Too expensive when store brands will do the same quality cleaning.

Economics have made it necessary to review my shopping habits. Purchasing Tide with bleach has become an unnecessary cost as I have determined that I can do my families laundry for about half the price.

I had always purchased Tide with bleach in the largest size because it is convenient in my laundry room. And I have always been swayed towards name brands vs store brands because I believed I was getting better quality.

Recently I have been purchasing store brands in an effort to save money on my grocery bill. I have found that the store brands do just as good a job, if not better than the Tide with bleach for a lot less money.

I wash all of our laundry using the cold setting only, and hang our laundry to dry. I have two small girls as well as a teenage son who is prone to spills and have lots of laundry to do on a weekly basis.

Tide with bleach had always done a great job of getting our laundry clean, but at a cost. The less expensive option of using a store brand makes sense and is just one of the ways I can help our family save money.
