The End of an Era

Several years ago, back when we were in the condo, we replaced the construction grade piece-o-crap dishwasher that the condo came with. I picked out a nice dishwasher, considerably quieter, better use of space, adjustable height for the top rack, wonderful delay-start option, more efficient energy usage, etc - PLUS as a perk, it came with something like a three year's supply of coupons for dishwasher detergent! NIIIIIIICE!

Unfortunately, we used the last coupons this past week.


So sad! Now we're going to find out what it's like to actually BUY dishwasher detergent.

OR...maybe it's time to replace the construction-grade dishwasher that the house came with (loud, slow, doesn't fit big things very well, no real delay option), and see if we can't find another deal with free dish washer soap! ;-)

So, how many year's supply was it really?

We just got a new Bosch dishwasher and I must say, it is the quietest appliance we own. Including the toaster.

Cascade® dishwasher detergents, in various forms and formulas, are Consumer Reports' best-rated. Wal-Mart ("Great Value") and Target store brands are CR "Best Buys," performing not quite as well as Cascade (but still "very good") at half to one-third the cost.

We really did get close to 3 three years worth I think?

Bosch - ooooh fancy! That's a big ticket item I expect!! Considering the name on it, you better love it!

Dave - wow cool, thanks! That's really good info to know. I'll have Brett read that as well since he usually buys our detergent.
