I've tried the power green one, and I'm not satisfy with its quality: the smell of the food may remain in my dishwasher. The Platinum Plus is much more expensive than Platinum.
Does Costco changed the product line at your warehouse?
Stuff disappears and comes back all the time at my store. I don’t know how it is in Canada, but sometimes the management after the cash registers can say if something’s temporary or been discontinued by looking in the inventory system. Often they don’t know, though.
Costco changes product lines all the time. It’s all based on the best deals their buyers can secure and sales performance. It can also be pretty local. Costcos near the coast have more watersport options. They use local suppliers for some food items.
We also have a “business center” Costco near us that has a bunch of stuff that normal Costco doesn’t, lots of commercial kitchen stuff, lots of stuff you’d find at mini marts more office supplies. Still sold in bulk but often packaged more for breaking up and selling individually. This place often has different selection than the other stores like more soda flavors including some that used to be at regular stores but aren’t anymore. So maybe if you can find one of these you’ll find what you’re looking for.
I guess that costco is trying to promote the more profitable, more expensive new product from Cascade.
Personally, I don't think it worth my extra trip to biz centre for the detergent. Next time if I really need something which disappeared from warehouse, I'll visit a business centre and check if they just moved it.
Many products, particularly cleaners, get regulated into the commercial only sector. I have to (illegally) ship trisodium phosphate (TSP) to where I live because government decided to blanket ban phosphates.
Thank you for sharing it. I tried the Kirkland brand, but it had some scene remained on my dinnerware. It was very likely that I came to this conclusion due to placebo effect. It may also related to my family's cooking style or the hardness of my water.
