I was very pleased !

I had never used the Tide Pods until now. I was able to buy with a coupon. They are very convenient and I was very happy with the cleanliness and smell of my laundry. I am very picky about soap I use. I raise my special needs infant grandchild and he has very sensitive skin. We had no issues with using the Tide pods. I only wish they were more affordable. Thank you for the previous coupon. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
