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

Taking a calculator shopping

Big box stores like to do fuzzy math when it comes to listing "unit" prices on the shelves. Between two sizes of an item, the change the way the list the unit price. Sometimes its actually cheaper to buy smaller containers or packaging. Makes no sense.

Yeah, those Sears coupons are a waste of time. I never use them - they are usually for stuff that I wouldnt be buying anyway.

Crazy how they raised the price. Look at how they jacked up the price for the new Kenmore laundry detergent (although its on sale at the moment).

What I've found is that if you want to get the discounted price posted online, you have to place an order online, and then either have it shipped for extra cost, of find a local Sears store that has the item in stock so you can go pick it up there without shipping charges.

 

This doesn't always work, however. I purchased three orange boxes and one blue box at the nearest Sears, all the blue stuff they had according to the Sears web site. But when I got there, they only had four orange boxes, no blue, and they were unable to just sell me three. So I got all four with the intention of returning some of the orange once I had located more blue. I wound up driving 33 miles to another Sears to pick up four blue boxes. Another Sears location, closer, had three blue boxes on display but none according to the web site. I snapped those up as well.

 

Now I have too many, so I'll probably be returning some of the orange boxes once I re-affirm that the blue is the better of the two (as I recall from testing my Miele).

the blue

Boxes is what I originally went to sears to purchase but they only had the orange and the unscented kenmore. .I live about 45 minutes from Pittsburgh so when I take my daughter I to children's hospital next week I may find a sears in the city and look for the blue with oxy as i'd like to try it..I will also stop at the Mexican grocers I love checking out their detergents.

Donald went to Sears today..

Bought 2 180 load boxes, but they were NOT on sale, 47.98 for both, I love it, but I use 2 scoops instead of one for a big load.     Donald used to work in that store,"Hanes Mall in Winston Salem", he said it looked pitiful compared to what it was in the 80s., very little merchandise on the shelves.

do you

Have a HE or standard top loader? I'm just wondering since you use 2 scoops..I have a stand top loader and I can usually use 2 scoops of sears however if I have a really dirty load like when were doing yard work like today it will probably take 3 for the jeans. Glad you found the blue boxes my sears says they won't have it in again. Have a good one.

seems their all starting to go on sale/clearance....

even the liquids are being reduced.....

I would hold that receipt in case it does go on sale/clearance in the next 30 days, they will offer a refund for the difference...

I could tell you a story of sears, and price matching, to which they honored, I bought a coffeemaker, on sale, found it on sale cheaper some place else, took the AD back to sears for the sale difference.....they gave me a full refund.....not once, but twice.....went to the Asst Mgr 2 days later to explain their mistake.....and got another full refund.....and I still have the coffeemaker....just left shaking my head.....its been three years, thinking they would catch the mistake eventually and call me...

belt drive Kenmore we don't use the blue box we use the orange box ultra plus concentrated fresh scent with stain fighting formula.  we also use some extra if the clothes are heavily soiled.

I could tell 100's of that kind of story because for Sears for many years. Should we start a thread for those stories? Donald
