How do you calculate laundry detergent/softner...

[frugallady19]

Hi everyone,
You can move this thread if needed cause I am sort of new and I wasn't sure where to post this... thanks.

I was wondering who calculates their laundry detergent/softner by loads? and what is the cheapest you have gotten for a load (for example 10 cents, 8 cents, etc).

So far I have found laundry detergent for free (with Purex Zout coupon but that was just perhaps a once a year thing or a one time thing) but other than that I have gotten it for:

Old Dutch (haven't used it yet but lets see how it is) - 3 cents a load
Purex - 5 cents a load

For softner I have gotten:

Snuggle - 4 cents a load
Purex - 4 cents a load

Please feel free to add to the list and also how you calculate your detergent/softener.

I have only gotten my detergent for free for the past 6 months or so, but then again, I am in B.C. and can stack. There are many variations to Sunlight coupons, and they often go on sale at LD for $4.99, making it free. Tide used to be a whole lot easier, when we could stack the brandsaver online coupons, with flyer, and various others ($1 for 1, and $2 wub2). I still miss Greenworks coupons as well... Those are $50 load bottles, and were fabulous stackers.

I just used my purex coupon, $3.49/32 loads - $3 = .49
So about 1.4 cents a load
And the first pures coupon i used 4.77/55 loads - $3 = 1.77
So 3 cents a load
Along with the smart source coupons I am going to have purex to last me a long time
