    LPT: Don’t buy Tide Pods at all.

    Any liquid or powder detergent will get cleaner clothes and be far cheaper.

      Powder is the way.
      Otherwise you’re paying for the water, its storage and shipping.

      I bought a big bucket of the stuff which has lasted me for several years.

        I actually tried the laundry sheets. They are just detergent that’s been processed into load sized sheets. A tiny tissue box sized cardboard box is 50 loads. They work great, and like you said, I’m not paying for extra water and packaging.

      Yeah, can’t believe people think those things are economical. And they’re terrible for the environment. A lose/lose.
