Apparently pre-rinsing confuses the dishwasher or something. Not doing it leaves me with residue all over the other dishes though 🤷

50% is 50% it scales linerally.
82 Cascade pouches at bulk cost me $30 75 oz of Cascade powder costs me $6
that’s $0.09 per wash for powder and $0.37 cents per wash for pouches.
I don’t really consider $30 to be cheap… and it turns out it’s 1/3 as much not 1/2
How often do you use your dishwasher?
I use mine about 2-3 times a week, so if we go with 3 that’s saving like 40 bucks a year, assuming perfect measurements and no spilling of the powder. That’s not enough of a difference to fret over.
You could spend that saved $40 on the powder, and now you’re sitting on ~4 years worth of detergent.
Do the same for washing clothes.
Buy foodstuffs in bulk when able.
Same with personal soap/shampoo/etc.
Now you’re sitting on few hundred $ in savings a year.
I don’t need 4 years’ worth of detergent taking up space. I’m happy to have a little box of pods I replace occasionally when I go to Costco.
Yeah, I could spend a bunch of time and effort maximizing my savings. But I spend 50 hours a week plus a commute earning money, and that’s all the time I’m devoting to it. When I’m off the clock I’m done trying to make or maximize income. I spend that time living. It’s worth $40 a year to me to not deal with powder.
Daily, occasionally twice a day
