Apparently pre-rinsing confuses the dishwasher or something. Not doing it leaves me with residue all over the other dishes though 🤷

Star wars Anakin and Padme meme, with a dishwasher poorly GIMPed onto Anakin's face. Dishwasher Anakin: Save water, no need to rinse your dishes first. Padme: And they will come out clean, right? Anakin dishwasher: ... Padme: And they will come out clean, right?

You could spend that saved $40 on the powder, and now you're sitting on ~4 years worth of detergent.

Do the same for washing clothes.

Buy foodstuffs in bulk when able.

Same with personal soap/shampoo/etc.

Now you're sitting on few hundred $ in savings a year.

    I don't need 4 years' worth of detergent taking up space. I'm happy to have a little box of pods I replace occasionally when I go to Costco.

    Yeah, I could spend a bunch of time and effort maximizing my savings. But I spend 50 hours a week plus a commute earning money, and that's all the time I'm devoting to it. When I'm off the clock I'm done trying to make or maximize income. I spend that time living. It's worth $40 a year to me to not deal with powder.
