P$G Discontinuing...

10 years ago

last modified: 10 years ago

Think I mentioned this in another Thread, but seen in two Walmarts a bunch of Tide boxes on the Clearance racks, know for sure there was a 102 load box of regular Tide, but don't remember now if it was HE or not, and a 80 load box of Tide with Downy, April Fresh scent and Clean Breeze scents, both for **he for both** yesterday I spoke with the store manager as to why, he said he received orders from P&G to remove these items from the shelf, when I ask why he said he didn't know, but usually means the product will no longer be being made and shelf space is needed for a new product. So it appears more powders are facing death.

For any of you using these products I'd encourage you to look in your Walmarts clearance/discontinued racks.

These products are probably being replaced with liquids or powders that are more concentrated, and packed in smaller boxes. unless they arnt being replaced at all. I told the hubs I better start stocking up on powdered detergent, he looked at me as if I'm crazy.

LOL

Also wanted to mention for those of you that want to collect current day detergents but lack space, the little boxes in laundramat vending machines is a cute idea, and different laundramats carry different brands ...I have a few of these cute boxes. LOL

I just picked up two boxes of Tide (original & Clean Breeze) 68 load boxes at the grocery store. They were 7.99 instead of $15.99 & I know that size is $13.32 at my WM. They told me they were changing the size of the boxes again, so who knows. Still using the last little bit of Tide from 5-6 years ago. I now like the Cheer powder for colors. The also have Persil perls for 1/2 price (6.49) & I have a coupon. I would believe these did not sell & are going away. Will pick up a bottle or two of them if they are still there on Tuesday. Still afraid to smell the tide, since mine is very old.

Luckily I have about a 5 year supply of Tide Original (classic) powder, and as I keep buying new pods and liquids, this supply will stretch to 10 years. LOL

Since Germany and most washers there do boil or near boil washes, I know for a while longer, German powders will be available!!

I took a drive to the Walmart in the suburbs today (NYC does not have any Walmarts) and there was not a single box of Tide powdered detergent anywhere. They did have huge bags of Mexican Foca, Arial and another brand I forget the name of.

I couldn't find anything interesting on clearance at my local walmart. They usually have all the clearance cleaning supplies on an end cap, but I didn't see anything.

Jody, all the Walmarts across the country are going thru inspection, they would have moved the end cap clearance, to the back room for this as its against safety control for some reason, clearance is allowed on regular shelves but not on end caps. It will probably be back out in a day or so. I seen small boxes of Sun powders on clearance also and should have grabbed one for my stash, now their gone I'll have to run to family dollar to get one..can't even believe with all the stuff I have, no Sun. I also have to grab a small Surf since I donated my stinky Surf, I'll just have to wrap it well as the stuff is God awful horrendous, I actually think this brand makes up much of the smell in the detergent isle.

I also heard on Persil USA"s FB page that they are "phasing out" of Walmart stores, whatever that means. ?

Probably not going to let walmart stock it.

Greeny..my daughters BF called about an hour ago and said I should go to Giant Eagle that all the Tide pods are in a big box in front of the store on clearance.

Hmmm wonder if its the boost packs..

Wow, if WM is getting out of Persil & Weis is discontinuing it, I won't have access anymore. I like the Perls for my whites.

I wonder why Persil would bail on Walmart when it got it's start with them? I wonder if it will disappear from Sam's too. I guess I had better stock up on the club size soon.

It could be Walmart cancelling Persil...but thing is my walmart now has some of the liquids and Pearls on the clearance rack, well they did a few days ago, and they have the shelf in the detergent isle all restocked, could this just have been some of the Persils comming to their experation date?

I can't seem to find on Persils FB page anything..but you all know I'm a dummy with FB.
