laundry detergent question

[lemons]

If you don't have an HE washing machine, where do you buy detergent? Only kind in stores seems to be HE.

Nothing wrong with using HE in a normal machine. The HE just has less suds, but it still works.

I think we use regular and scent free Tide powder. I'm pretty sure neither are HE.

Target has non-HE .

Seventh Generation says that it can be used in either type of machine: shop.seventhgeneration.com/natural-laundry-detergent.html?sku=60#

But if you have a top loader, it is fine to use HE anyway:

Pretty sure you can use HE detergent in a non-HE washer, just not the other way around.

You can use either kind in either machine. If it's non-he you use less in an he machine.

I get ours a variety of places depending on what is on sale. I stockpile and my goal price for laundry detergent is about $2 a bottle for a 32ish load bottle. I am not brand specific but don't buy super cheap brands. I can usually get ALL and Purex at this price point. Most often I buy it at Dillons (our Kroger affiliate) and lately CVS has been doing a buy 1 get 2 free sale on Purex every few months.

Maybe it's just our area. Nothing non-HE at Target, Wal-Mart, or grocery stores. I didn't realize I could use HE in our top loader. Thanks!

Ha! We should live next door to each other. I have bought regular detergent for my HE washer not once, not twice, but THREE times. I am an idiot. I discover the mistake when the washer overflows and I have a huge soapy mess to clean up. I could have given you all my barely used bottles of detergent!

Our grocery store also carries it.
