There’s one grocery store near me that has it. But as I mentioned, its too expensive now. I need to check the drug stores and dollar stores for pricing and availability. Hoping maybe the larger HEB grocery has a store brand.
I was buying it because it was cheaper, comes in a cardboard box instead of plastic, and a plumber told me that pods leave a residue that will eventually congeal and clog the dishwasher pump.
Also i read somewhere that pods are wrapped in some sort of plastic, and not a gelatin. I sincerely hope this isn’t true. Just what we need — more microplastic in our water table!
Im actually getting to the point of looking up homemade recipes for dishwasher powder.
You can get cascade powder?
I havent been able to find it anywhere in forever. I’ve been stuck buying those shitty fucking pods.
edit I havent been able to find dishwasher powder in general, regardless of brand.
The only place I’ve found it is Meijer which is a regional store

all those dissolvable pods are made out of Polyvinyl Acetate, the same thing that elementary school glue is made out of.
Powder just gives a better wash because its ability to 1) fill the cup with more and 2) have some dispensed in the initial rinse cycle.

I didnt say it was a good thing? I only said what it was made out of. I never said it was good, or harmless.
