Gain Lavender High Efficiency Detergent

Now, I've always been a Tide girl, but I had a coupon recently for $3.00 off Gain Lavender High Efficiency Detergent... and then it was on sale at CVS for $3.90, so I figured I couldn't lose. It was a magical decision, now I'm hooked for life. Although I'm a little sad that I often have to pay more than a dollar for it.

Not only does the Gain Lavender High Efficiency Detergent clean as well, if not better than Tide, but it smells heavenly. My laundry smells as if I had put it away in our drawers and placed fresh sprigs of lavender between the layers.

I did not know that a laundry detergent could mimic the scent of a flower so well. If you have not tried Gain Lavender High Efficiency Detergent yet, you need to do so immediately. There are often coupons in the Sunday papers for it and CVS sometimes has some good sales on the product, where you can luck out like I did and only pay $0.99 cents for it.

Tide ColdWater Detergent

I always find Tide to be the best laundry detergent! It may cost a little more, but it gets all stains, dirt, and smell out of every last thing you put in the washing machine. I never need to wash anything I was with Tide twice.

This is why I was thrilled to find out that Tide had come out with a cold water option. I was a little worried that it would not perform as well as its warm/hot water counterpart, but I was pleasantly surprised. Tide ColdWater works just as well as regular Tide detergent, and I don't have to use up all the hot water in my apartment to do my laundry. There's no longer a choice to make between taking a nice hot shower or getting nice clean clothes - I can do both at once.

Tide ColdWater, like regular Tide, does tend to run on the pricey side, so I usually keep my eyes open for coupons and good deals. The Sunday newspapers and CVS are usually a big help in securing some wonderful laundry detergent at a not-so-steep price.
