      Thank you.

      They will always be found in the laundry aisle:
      Walmart in the laundry aisle
      Target
      Kmart (more expensive than walmart/target)
      Occasionally Big Lots
      Food Lion
      Shop & Save
      Stop & Shop
      Hannaford
      pretty much EVERY big grocery chain store

      Alternatively, if you cannot locate them locally, they can be purchased on Amazon and still cheaper than regular detergent. Also, we frequently give away Laundry Sauce Kits- which is enough of the ingredients to last about 1 year.
