Do you know the secret about these dollar store dishwasher packs?

While supplies last, head to Dollar General and snag this tub of 35 Dishwasher Packs for only $1! But what’s inside may surprise you…

Our Hip Sidekick, Angela spotted these at her Dollar General when she heard that this tub may have irregular Cascade Pods inside! 😱

Hip Tip from Angela: These dishwasher packs weren’t on the $1 aisle at my store, but they were on an endcap. Before purchasing, you may want to unscrew the lids (they are screw on caps and not sealed) and open a few of the canisters are some contain pods that look identical to Cascade and some are just the powder packs. I did a load of dishes last night and the pod worked just as good as the Cascade pods I had been using.

A Cascade Platinum Plus Dishwasher Pod 21-Pack is going for $9.99 on Amazon making them 48¢ each. The packs in the Dollar General tub are only 3¢ each.


Last November, Stef spotted these Dishwasher Packs at Dollar Tree & tested them out and her dishes came out perfectly. 👇

    I grabbed a bunch of these. Have not had any without the gel. Some of them have a bit of brown discoloring in the powder (not that much), which may be why they would be brand-name ‘seconds’. They work every bit as well as the other gels and packs I use.

    I’ve been using these since I first discovered them a few months ago and they work better than any name brand that I’ve ever purchased!!
