Tide Pods...A drop in the bucket!

I have always given Tide Pods, and other Tide products 5 Stars across the board. Until now. I lowered the value ranking due to P&G's sudden new policy of excluding Tide coupons from the monthly P&G printed Sunday flyer and replacing it with their restrictive coupon site. Why? P&G says it has done so to ensure that there will be Tide for all its customers. That's so thoughtful, isn't it? Well since P&G let us know of this dire situation concerning product availability, I feel I must help and so should everyone else, by limiting the number of Tide purchases to just 2 products per month. That way no one will ever go to the store just to find out that their Tide isn't there because of overuse of Tide coupons. I just want P&G to know that they count on me to help, by limiting my own purchases.

new adventure

I am a long time user of liquid Tide. I recently purchased Tide pods. I love the ease of using the pods and not having any spills. I use the regular and free and gentle. My clothes look great. I am glad I made the decision to switch.
