No CHEER in Chicago.

Walgreens?

I don't normally shop for detergent there. Let me check into this.
This is so odd.
Just this week two bottles (yes TWO) showed up at da Jewels. They weren't there the other day. Still not a great showing.
Thanks to all for the detective work!

Now that you mention it, I was at a Jewel Osco, too. In a strip mall-type setting on Canal. Maybe that's where I saw it. Sorry, the past few days have been a sleep-deprived blur.

Oh, was that the old Dominick's on Roosevelt?

Target!

Try Target. Was in a larger suburban store today and they had powder in large 120 load boxes, and regular liquid in two sizes and in both regular and HE versions. Didn't notice any free and clear, though, which struck me odd. I used the free and clear liquid many years ago and remember liking it at the time.

I live close to a CityTarget and even with their abridged selection I think they stock liquid Cheer. Now I'm curious and will have to find out. Lol

Similar findings at Target in Charlotte

There are two Target stores very close to me, so I checked them both yesterday. Both have Cheer 120 load powder, and Cheer 100oz liquid in HE and non-HE. The bottles are only $7.99 regular price, that is not a sale price. What a deal.

So, to Paulg, I guess I'd continue to check around, if nothing else maybe Target will order it for you since other regions have it.

Again thanks / an update

I went to Walgreens: No Cheer
And I went to Mariano's in Western Springs (formerly Dominicks): No Cheer
Still have to try Target. I'll get to them soon.
So off we go to Target. Regardless though, something has indeed changed in this market in regards to Cheer. Don't know what's up, but something is goofy.
Thanks again for your help. I'll advise if Target comes up to the plate.

Try Sneer...

 

 

 

[washman]

Lemme guess

that jpeg of "Sneer" came from wacky packages from the 70's.

 

[Ultramatic]

Yup, you guessed it...

 

 

All my notebooks from grade school were covered with those. Still have a few. They were reissued a few years ago. I just LOVED them.

 

[paulg]

OMG

I have a bunch of those.. but not SNEER. How funny.

I do have "TIED". If I remember correctly, "Your clothes will be fit to be TIED" or something like that.

Thanks for the laugh... and for a great idea. I'm going to frame any detergent "Wacky Packs' and put them in the laundry room.

Look.

In Rite-Aid. They typically have it on sale every month, and, stock it regularly here.

 

@GEFilterPro. I'm kinda surprised. We used to have Two Great Lands, but they eliminated the name, back in 2008/2009 and converted them, into Super-Targets. I didn't think there we're anymore greatlands left.

If your really desperate...

Wal-Mart.com & Soap.com, should have it in stock

 

But, check this out.

I found 9 bottles at Target

Yup, Target had nine bottles. Thanks for the tip.
I am left with an overwhelming feeling that Cheer ain't long for the Chicago market.
Oh well, I have Cheer at this moment so it makes me... CHEER-FULL..
Even so, I do find this topic interesting. I wonder what is going on with this brand?

 

[supersuds]

The Kroger I shop at has restocked the unscented 100 oz. bottles of Cheer, so they're back to normal.

I live in Canada and have been using Cheer powder for a number of years. I noticed it was getting harder to find. I called the toll free number on the Cheer box and was advised the powder version has been discontinued as of the end of February. Yesterday I was at a local Target store and noticed the new bottles of Cheer have a plastic band around the cap advising of lower pricing on Cheer.

 

[supersuds]

Ah, sorry to hear that. That explains why I haven't seen the powder for some time.

Hadn't used it in in years, though.

The old paradigms are being washed away.
