First, laundry detergents vary a lot thise days re: amount used per load. It is better to do comparisons based on # of loads. Luckily the number of loads is indicated on the containers.

I've started my price book!! Least expensive I have found so far was SunBurst 2x at WalMart. $1.97 for 40 loads, so just under 5 cents per load.

You asked about name brands - CVS has Tide on sale this week - up to 48 loads for $8. With $10 ECB with purchase of $20 P&G, that is effectively $4 for 48 loads = 8 1/3 cents per load. If you have a $4 off $20 purchase thing, then that would be a further 20% savings bringing it to 6.7 cents per load. It would be even better if you had coupons. I'm still new, so not many good coupons.

So, short answer for me - a great price would be 4 cents per load right now. For seasoned shoppers, I'm sure it is less.
