Thanks to Diana for passing this along! She found this deal at Fred Meyer, but I have had readers tell me these boxes can be found at other stores too….so keep your eyes open for them!
So I went to Fred Meyers to find Washing Soda, the last ingredient I need to make my own laundry detergent, but I couldn’t find it. For the life of me, where is washing soda? Anyway, I ended up catching a super deal on laundry detergent and dryer cloths without very much effort.
First, I found Baking Soda that had a rebate attached for a free liquid laundry detergent when I bought both items. The baking soda was 69 cents–so that was a fine enough deal in itself. But what did I see when I went to the detergent isle was a “Free Dryer Sheet via rebate” sticker on the powdered box of detergent. I took it off to read the details on the back and it stated: “Buy and A&H 2-1 dryer cloths plus any A&H Laundry Detergent and receive a refund check [for the cloths]” The word, “Any” was key which meant the rebate for the cloths would work just fine with the purchase of the liquid detergent. Sweet!
Since I was already buying the detergent, I just added the cloths to my purchase. To make the deal even sweeter, at checkout I was able to use two coupons I had in my coupon binder (which is just a picture album split into categories).
And I MADE SURE TO REMEMBER TO PRINT A DOUBLE RECEIPT! Because with both rebates, you need to have an actual receipt from the store-no copies.
And I MADE SURE TO REMEMBER TO PRINT A DOUBLE RECEIPT! Because with both rebates, you need to have an actual receipt from the store-no copies.So here’s a breakdown of numbers
•Cloths = 3.50 = Free after Rebate
•A&H Detergent = 4.99 =Free after Rebate
•Baking Soda= .69
• Add two $1 off coupons = $1.31 moneymaker! -tax, and stamps.
Now of course, in the fine print it says limit one refund per family–however, these refunds are under different program numbers and allow two different envelopes so I’m pretty sure both rebates will be honored. If not, it was still a fine deal and I’m not too worried.

Will one of you please tell me how to make home made detergent. My son has skin problems I would love to try this.
Diana, You were in the right place for the washing soda,I’ve been making my own detergent for a few years now and Fred Meyer is the only place I’ve found it. It’s always on the top shelf with the detergent. Maybe ask next time or check back in a few days. Good luck! (Nampa store)
I did this same deal not to long ago at albertsons and got both my rebates the other day just fine, the rebates came very quickly and actually both arrived on the same day.
You can get the washing soda at Walmart in Caldwell. It is on the bottom shelf. I am currently using the homemade laundry soap and we love it. My hubby and oldest daughter have problem skin and it work just fine for them. The big plus it that it last for ever.I made up a triple batch on Setember 19 and still have not ran out and I still have enough left in the boxes that I bought to make another triple batch!!
Great Deal Thx! Diana~ You can get washing soda at Winco next to the borax. I also make my own detergent and had trouble finding washing soda. I get mine at the Nampa Winco. I hope that helps. I always get a couple boxes at a time to save myself a trip cause I dont make it to winco very often. Good Luck!
