Anyone else notice this? Now we are stuck with pricey organic substitutes. Where did ...........Spic N Span ......... Snowy Bleach....... 20 Mule Team Borax....... Dermasage dish detergent in the yellow container that was not so hard on hands.......... Mix N stir powder milk........ there are others but just wondered as these have been favorites for a long time.... ------

Aveeno Therapeutic Shave Gel (doesn't set off my nose or hubbie's skin) is getting harder to find. The house brand at CVS in a very similar container seems to be the same product. I'm also finding that the stores farther away from the city are more reliable in finding specific older type products that we rely on. Our Target is becoming more focused on house brands and large bulk packaged items. ------ I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.

The large chain grocery stores carry them. I think Snowy is there also, but I'll have to check. You might try a different store from your usual. I shop at a store that is part of the Kroger chain, so they may have it in your area. I did just buy some Spik n Span, but haven't used it yet. Several years ago, they seemed to have "improved" it so much that it didn't do as good a job as it usually did, but I'm giving it another chance! After several years of the Swifter stuff, my kitchen floor is extremely yellow! -------- Look at what I found at Amazon... Dermassage They may have other items also, but it is still being made. If the rest of your family likes it, you might do a joint order! -- Edited on 1/24/12 4:27 PM -- ------ 2009-113.25 yds 2010-115.5 2011-80.25+30+donated 2012-26 January 5yds..

I didn't even know they made it in a liquid. I guess it's been a while since I bought it. ------ Doo-doo-DOO-doo, Doo-doo-DOO-doo......
