Question 1

Who pays this much for this stuff? It's only $6.00 at Walmart.

Accepted Answer

Opened my Walmart pick up app. Cascade Complete Powder Diswasher Detergent, Fresh Scent, 75oz is $5.97 for pick up at Farmington, MO Walmart as of 24Aug2021. So to get 2 as in this listing it would be $11.94 plus tax. Less than half what they are asking here. Glad I looked.

Question 2

Can you explain why the 75oz size of Cascade is $0.08 per oz ($5.97), and the 125 oz size of the same product is $0.20 per oz ($24.99)?

Accepted Answer

This is just seller's selling a product for much higher than what they originally bought it for, the term being called "price-gouging", which became an EXCESSIVE problem when the COVID situation started, particularly on items that were constantly sold out like toilet paper, hand sanitizer and other medical supplies. Best thing you can do is avoid excessively overpriced items, as well as you can report them for price-gouging (as I've been doing with several other items when I couldn't find them in the store), only buy them at your local store if you can't find them for a sane price on sites like Amazon. If you filter your search results to the seller being just Amazon or Cascade, you may be able to get the actual pricing for the item, not the overblown price-gouged costs that other sellers are doing.

Question 3

Is this the same product that is sold at Walmart and Target  for half the price ?

Accepted Answer

There are two Walmart stores near me, 6 miles apart. One of them did not have any. I went to Walmart website to order it. The website says only 3 left. But when I was paying for it, I got the message saying it's out of stock. Luckily, today I went to the other Walmart store and saw 4 of them. So I bought 3. Are we having some kind of shortage? Why is $6 stuff selling for $14?

Question 4

is this safe for  silver plated flatware?

Accepted Answer

I don't believe that any dishwasher detergent is recommended for silver flatware of any kind.
