"If you’re trying to save money and who isn’t, you’re much better off buying store brands such as Aldi premium laundry detergent or Costco’s Kirkland is excellent.
Not everyone lives near an Aldi store.
Costco's products are only available at their stores or online but one must have a membership. Costco has been clamping down of late on non-members having access to their stores/online. So if one has to add cost of yearly membership Kirkland products like rest of shopping at Costco may not be good deal money wise.
Yes, one can find Kirkland or Aldi products online at say auction houses or discount closeout places. Such offerings are usually shelf pulls (old stock) or perhaps damaged. This and or from various legitimate or not third party sellers which include everyone from pawn shops to thieves selling stolen goods. In such cases one can never be entirely sure what one is getting. Oh and you'll have to pay shipping costs and liquid products don't always come through that process well.
All this and more compared to persons who simply can go local shop or supermarket and find Purex, A&H and other such offerings, three guesses which one wins...
Even if one goes with Amazon, Walmart, Target or other reputable online shop if there are issues with order or product they can and usually are addressed. Purchase a jug of Kirkland laundry detergent off HBid and it either arrives damaged or doesn't work as should, tant pis, you're out of luck.
