A Not-So-Perfect Relationship
Liquid laundry detergent has always been my choice for washing clothes. To be honest, it was always "Tide."
Yes, it was always "Tide" until my MIL told me that my laundry detergent may be the cause for me being itchy which happened to her. She recommended 'ALL"

Case closed.
However, a few months ago, in a conversation with my daughter, she suggested that I try "pods". "Mom, they're great. You should try them." Asking the Pres to pick up "pods" on his next grocery trip, he came with a container of 90 "All Powercore Pods" that he purchased at BJs. So, the affair began. The pods were easy. They were fun to use...no measuring, dripping, etc.
Happy, happy, nice, nice...
After several weeks and multiple washings, one day when I removed the clothes from the HE machine, I noticed that there was something stuck to a pair of the Pres' underwear. Pulling it off and tossing the underwear in the "to be washed" bin, I honestly didn't think about it. The Pres has always the cause of extra "things" in the washing machine.
A few weeks later, when I was getting dressed to hit the gym, I grabbed my favorite lightweight shirt from the closet. Taking it off the hanger, I saw another green blob.
This time I was annoyed. Now I was upset. This was my favorite $5.00 gym shirt...LOL!!

It was time for "the call" to Customer Service.
Well, after answering numerous questions and finding out that I followed the proper steps for loading and washing, I was asked to read off all the visible bar codes on the container.

So.....bottom line is this:
Did you know that "pods" expire?
Did you know that "pods" expire?
Yes, indeed, according to the customer service rep, their life expectancy is 9 months. I did, in fact, receive coupons for future purchases of ALL, however, since I just replaced the expired pods with the gigantic jug of liquid, IF I did purchase "pods", they would expire before I opened them because the expiration dates on the coupons I received are this month!!
Meanwhile, when I walked in to return the unused "expired" pods at BJs without a receipt, they graciously handed me a gift card for merchandise for the full amount, so that worked out. I have not been able to convince the Pres to stop buying stuff WE DON'T USE just because he has a coupon.
