I'm using Costco pods and they are the best I've used. I don't pre rinse, I use it on old dishes. My dishes come out nice and clean. My sister cancelled her membership and now I have to find a new dishwasher pod dealer.

Why don't you just get a membership? We save tons of money shopping there. The gas alone will save more than the membership fee if you drive a car.

Gas, paper products, salad, honey, cereal, bacon, snacks, even alcohol. It's just me and my husband and we live pretty frugally. We opened a membership a few years ago and have never once regretted it.

The true answer is a bit embarrassing, but it's because my husband does our grocery shopping and he is bad with money. He will buy too much stuff because it's a "good deal" which just ends up costing more overall. I love him so much, and he has so many good qualities, but he's a real sucker for "deals" and that's all Costco is.
