Persil Pearls (US) Discontinued

[imperial70]

Laundress should have her own sydicate

in either a newspaper or webcast. I enjoy reading your posts very much and always look forward to them.

Maybe a YouTube channel sponsored by Tide or Persil

Mark my words

Soon there will be a glut of Persil power pearls on fleaBay going for insane money. *LOL*

I've never been a fan of Persil. It cleans OK but I don't like the scent at all. If only we had a detergent exchange here, it would save that bottle from just sitting in my laundry room!

Here are some pics of Henkel products at our local drugstore. It seems all the inventory of Persil and Perwoll was somehow shoved into the detergent aisle (and I didn't even take a picture of everything).

Besides the three Vernel scents, there are also new Persil Sensitive Pods with "real soap and almond milk".

Just looking at the shelf price tickets there in Germany. That's running at considerably less than half the price of equivalent Unilever Persil here in Ireland.

Methinks Henkel/Persil Is Feeling The Heat

Now that many German consumer testing sorts along with Internet chat have said you can get just as good results with cheaper products, such as Aldi's detergents.

Same here really with P&G. Tide began stumbling during last recession when many consumers were forced by financial circumstances to look elsewhere. Funny thing was most discovered that other products cleaned just as well as Tide for less.

One used to rarely see Tide on sale, nowadays however you cannot help but to find most versions on special offer somewhere. If one plans ahead and stocks up.....

Discounter brands have been almost as good as / as good as / sometimes even better than the "big name" products from Henkel or Procter for years now. This holds true for laundry and dishwasher detergents. Why pay 25 Cents per load when using Persil Megaperls 360° Cleanliness and Care... when I can get the same clean for just 11 Cents from Aldi etc.?

Laundry detergent market is what one would call "mature&

Like toothpaste, toilet tissues and a host of other products there is only so much you can do to differentiate one from another.

Leaving aside proprietary and or patented bleaching and whatever systems most detergents pretty much are the same under the bonnet. What changes are the endless variations of scent and promised qualities.

Persil from Germany attained near cult status here in USA because there was nothing like it on market. Especially if one owned a front loader from Europe such as Miele. It really has only been rather recently that American detergents have dropped high frothing ingredients for instance in favor of "HE".

As others have frequently pointed out there is nothing "special" about Persil in its native territory.

Where are you finding Tide on special offer? The best I've ever seen on Tide is one dollar off.

Cannot speak for your area, but here in NYC:

Ride Aid - nearly every other week Tide is on sale (usually liquids and pods, but sometimes powder)

Target

Various other supermarkets such as Morton Williams/Associated, Shoprite, etc...

Rite Aid nearly is always the lowest.

Last week Arm & Hammer liquid detergents were on sale at $1.99. They sold out of the stuff in a few days, ditto for when second truck load arrived later in week.

In fact you can always tell which detergents are on sale at local Rite Aid, as that is what you'll see overwhelmingly at the laundromat which is one block or so away.

Ordered two jugs each of Power-Pearls Orig scent and Intense Fresh via Target.com.

Combine offers to get bigger savings

This week at Target , you receive a $5 Target gift card if you buy any two Tide or other P&G brand items. If you buy two bottles of Tide, you can use two $1 Tide (manufacture) coupons, and if you find any Target coupons for Tide, you may also use them too. That could add up to big savings. At Target, you may combine (stack) both a manufacturer's coupon and a target coupon on the same item.

From this week's ad:
Free $5 Target GiftCard when you buy any two Tide, Gain, Charmin, Downy, Bounce, Bounty or Puffs products listed. Gain 100-oz. 64-load liquid, 35-ct. Tide Pods or Gain Flings, or Tide 75-oz. 48-load liquid.

Regarding Persil Pearls

The Persil Power-Pearls are on clearance for $8.88 at my local Shop Rite. I had a couple $2 off Persil coupons, so I ended up only paying 6.88 a bottle. I can't complain about that!

Just received my 6 jugs of original scent power pearls from Target.com. Free shipping. Those should last me a while since I only use them for white loads.

Just cleaned out my three local Shop-Rite stores of the remaining 59 load size mega pearls powder. They were marked down from $13.99 to $8.99 and I had a few $2.00 off coupons so not a bad deal. In the end I got 9 of them, Also hit up the Acme supermarkets in Stamford and Greenwich which replaced our now defunct A&P - but being Acme, the same size was priced at $17.99 reduced to $13.99. Questioned the manager about the pricing but of course got no real answer. Amazing how two different supermarkets have such different pricing structures - yet also noted that Acme had the same load size of the 2 in 1 liquid on sale for $8.99. The manager tried to explain that the liquid did fewer loads. When I pointed out that the stated load size was the same on both the powder and liquid, he merely shrugged and said "that's just the way it is"... I think they raised the price on the powder then "lowered" it to $13.99 which was the regular price of the 2 in 1 liquid. Needless to say I left the 4 jugs of powder right on the shelf. I like the mega pearls, but I am not planning to be taken to the cleaners' for it. No pun intended...
