Buy Tide at Costco and break even? Buy Persil at Costco and win all around?
Does anyone use Persil? I don’t get my clothes dirty like I used to and even if it’s not quite as good as Tide I’ll bet it works fine. Your experience?

Has anyone seen whether Friday’s no-buying effort has had any effect?

We’ve been doing Tide but will revisit Kirkland next time we buy. We used to use Kirkland and it worked fine. Not sure why we switched.
Rumor is that the German company that makes Persil makes Kirkland. Is that what you were referring to?

I remember why we switched. We went to powdered detergent, stopped using liquid or pods. At the time there was no KS powder. Not sure what they have now.

Even if you don't have a Costco nearby, a membership allows you to purchase online - often more items than are available at a local Costco... $65/year?
