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

    50% is 50% it scales linerally.

    82 Cascade pouches at bulk cost me $30 75 oz of Cascade powder costs me $6

    that’s $0.09 per wash for powder and $0.37 cents per wash for pouches.

    I don’t really consider $30 to be cheap… and it turns out it’s 1/3 as much not 1/2

      How often do you use your dishwasher?

      I use mine about 2-3 times a week, so if we go with 3 that’s saving like 40 bucks a year, assuming perfect measurements and no spilling of the powder. That’s not enough of a difference to fret over.

        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.
