Apparently pre-rinsing confuses the dishwasher or something. Not doing it leaves me with residue all over the other dishes though 🤷

    You could spend that saved $40 on the powder, and now you’re sitting on ~4 years worth of detergent.

    Do the same for washing clothes.

    Buy foodstuffs in bulk when able.

    Same with personal soap/shampoo/etc.

    Now you’re sitting on few hundred $ in savings a year.

      I don’t need 4 years’ worth of detergent taking up space. I’m happy to have a little box of pods I replace occasionally when I go to Costco.

      Yeah, I could spend a bunch of time and effort maximizing my savings. But I spend 50 hours a week plus a commute earning money, and that’s all the time I’m devoting to it. When I’m off the clock I’m done trying to make or maximize income. I spend that time living. It’s worth $40 a year to me to not deal with powder.
