Downy UNstopables Review!

Just wanted to give everybody some info on the new Downy UNSTOPABLES!

I got my free bottle in the mail from vocalpoint..

 So far I've been using this product on the smelliest of clothes, including those from a 17 year old adolescent with a predilection to not want to shower unless literally dragged in.. I don't get it.. but regardless these little miracle balls 




get tossed in the washing machine (we have an High efficiency machine and they work well) with all the other clothes.. 

The best part is after they are dry and you are wearing them.. the fresh smell is still clinging to the clothes. It actually took me a few days to get used to because it was that strong.. This may be a downfall if you are very sensitive to smells, however for me it was very pleasant.. 


Downfalls I don't really ever know how much to put in.. instructions tell you alot or a little it's up to you.. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually..


I think I would purchase these, although I may reserve the Downy Unstopables for the smelliest of clothes.

Total savings according to receipt for this trip $88.68

So this is what I got:

Irish Springs 2/$7 get $5ECB - $1/1 CVS Coupon 

Purex laundry detergent $1.98 - $1 printable coupon

I also used $15ECB from previous trips and a 10% beauty coupon that printed on my last trip that expired today (total $2.21 off)

Total OOP = 25.77 + tax Total ECB back = $25

NET OOP = $0.77 + tax

I contemplated the Nivea deal but opted against it.. Nivea at my store was almost $9 a bottle and didn't seem to make it worth the spend $15 get $5 ECB.

All in all I had a pretty good trip.. I was able to make sure I have some $ECB for next week.. and the best part (which is printed on your receipt at the bottom before ECB) I think is:

CVS Spring 2011 Year to date Savings: $55.14

Spring 2011 Spending: $52.17

Which means so far CVS has paid me $3.00 yay!
