Sears Ultra Plus Powder w/Stain Fighter 120 load box 1/2 price

[teknikleespekng]

Just a heads up

I picked up 4 boxes at my local Sears; 2 for me, 2 for my parents. I took half of what they had out. Only this size was on sale, Im guessing to clear out inventory for the new packaging.

They didnt have the Free & Clear. The salesman said that a new company would be providing that formula, no longer from DeSoto.

I recently

Bought 2 of the 275 load in the green boxes after reading how quite a few people here like it..I have to say I like it so far but I do spike it with stpp for really dirty loads. I would like to try the orange box next but my husband may have a fit as I have at least enough detergent for 3 years, but what can I say I developed some kind of addiction to collecting laundry detergent. .thank you for letting us all know about the sale.

This detergent, IMO is very good at cleaning. From what I hear, the Sears brand is being dropped and rebadged as Kenmore; I believe that a different manufacturer is making the new Kenmore detergent.
I have been to 3 Sears stores and bought A LOT of what is in stock (the orange box) so I am good to go for years it seems. Have fun. Gary

gary I'm wondering

When the new kenmore detergent will be on the shelves and if the formula will be different and what co. Will be making it..lol lots of wondering here. My first box of sears detergent was the one with added fabric softener...it was returned that same day..the smell was horrible kinda like plastic so when I returned it I had sears open the green box before I would buy it..lol they probably thought I was crazy.

Good Stuff

I use the orange box. It works very well!

just a heads up......check your location for amount in stock......

and take a copy of the AD with you.......one store it scanned correctly, the other it did not....save yourself time and hassle....

 

[yogitunes]

question:......is it just the one style/size that is being discontinued?

and if a new company will be making this, shouldn't they all be on clearance?

just curious...

IMHO, the blue box, the one with Oxyclean, is far superior to the orange or green box "regular" Ultra Plus. It sudses less, seems to dissolve better, and whitens better without fading colors.

 

I picked up about 8 boxes of blue over the weekend. I'm set for a while ;-).

now the 180 use box is on sale for 16.99

I guess a lot is from on-line ordering....but Sears seems to offer a lot of detergents...some individual, and others by the case....

[sudsmaster]

The 180 at $17 is a worse deal than the 120 at $10.

 

Even at $11, the 120 is a better deal.

 

A calculator is required when shopping Sears detergents...

Rich is right

I did the math yesterday and picked up two 120 boxes. The 120 box works out to 95.75 cents/lb whereas the 180 box works out to 98.25 cents/lb. And the price of the 120 box had gone up 1.00 from 9.99 to 10.99 since last Friday when I first followed the link here and checked it out. I mentioned to the employee that Sears was selling off the old detergent and replacing with a new formula under the name Kenmore. He had no knowledge of it.

Reformulations of Late

Funny the topic of Sears detergent being rebadged, and a manufacturing shift occurring.

This has happened recently with BMW, who have shifted their oil supply for their in-house brands from Castrol to Shell.

And Castrol has shifted manufacturing of their famous "German Castrol" to Belgium, creating all havoc on oil forums... (This stuff was touted as oil with magical properties, and a smell of gummy bears...)

Off-Topic, yes, but interesting nonetheless...

I knew

The 180 load box cost more per load than the current sale price of the 120 load box however my local sears were out of the 120 box and to drive a distance would have cost money in fuel and ordering online shipping fees...I could have waited for my store to restock but I didn't want to risk them not getting anymore in since they told me their phasing it out. Besides I grabbed what I could while hubby was at work..lol wouldn't do for UPS to knock on my door with laundry detergent. .I have way too much and hubby already wants to send me to detergent anonymous. .hehe

 

[yogitunes]

I compare a lot when it comes to buying detergents, if I can, I boil it down to cost per load/use/scoop......really easy if its a 100 use, lets say at 13.00 for a box....that's .13 cents per load.....but yeah you do have keep a small calculator with you for such things to figure out which is the better bargain....

if anything, or I should say ALWAYS take a print out with you.....my print out said 9.99, by the time I got to the store, it was 10.99.....they wanted me to go back home and buy 'on-line' for in-store pickup.....who the heck has time to do all of that, a waste of time and gas....

that's when you have to raise your voice and start yelling.....they marked it down....as I mentioned to the manager, is there any wonder why the store is not packed like it used to be?...

 

[ken]

I had the printout with me from 4/10 which showed the price at 9.99 and I let myself be charged 10.99. When the employee scanned the box it came up 10.99 and he said online price is sometimes different. I asked if the price could have gone up a 1.00 since last Friday and he said yes. I didn't even think to question it further and try to get it for the 9.99. Have to remember it never hurts to ask.

I'm not sure

That most of the sears in store employees know what they are talking about..they gave me a registar printed coupon for 5 dollars off my next 25 dollar order yesterday ..so I tried to buy the sears detergent in the green box as id already bought the last orange..I was told I had to wait until my next trip to use it..I took my stash the car and returned was than told it didn't start until april 19th...I'm fed up with that store and sears.com...don't get me started on them lol

 

[imperial70]

Those receipt coupons

crack me up. They even go so far to ask now "do you want me to print your coupons." The amount of paper that is wasted. Most of them are useless because it starts the next day or you have to spend $xxx on a specific item category. I still like sears because they carry good quality soft lines. I have been shopping there more than JCP because they alienated me with the store change.

To not drift so far... I have to try that sears detergent.
