Yes, you read that correctly....this is your chance to win a YEAR supply of dropps laundry detergent! I'm going crazy with excitement over this one and wish I could enter my own contest!
This eco-friendly super concentrated liquid laundry detergent comes in convenient dissolving pacs that take up a teeny tiny amount of space in your laundry room. They are rather kind to your back as well. I can't tell you how much I dread buying detergent just because of the weight of the cumbersom bottles. I usually get the concentrated super sized bottles ... not anymore! I wish I had these when I was in college. Lugging the laundry plus a heavy bottle down four flights of steps was horrible....especially since I usually waited until I had 5 loads to do all at once.
dropps are conveniently packed in a lightweight stand-up pouch and are biodegradable and NPE- and phosphate-free. This is the only liquid laundry detergent that conserves water, plastic and energy. I found the 'dropps difference' very inspiring ...
'Regular' Detergent
- Plastic Cap: 100% landfill-bound
- Plastic Bottle: 75% off the bottle is new plastic, a total waste
- 2X Concentrated: 75% of this 'detergent' is WATER
dropps Detergent
- Smaller Footprint: one jug = 292 empty pouches!
- No Waste: perfectly dosed pacs mean NO leftovers!
- 6X Concentrated: because they have taken all the water out!
You have two types of dropps to choose from: Fresh Scent and Scent + Dye Free. I tried both and couldn't be happier. My baby girl has sensitive skin and the Scent + Dye Free was perfect for her. The Fresh Scent is just that....fresh, light, airy and nothing overpowering at all. Our clothes came out just as fresh and clean as other detergent. I felt like I was skipping a step in the washing process because these were so easy to use. No mess, drips or measuring. Simply plop one packet in small to medium loads and two packets for large loads, pile your laundry on top and then pat yourself on the back for taking a step to go GREEN!
Before I get to the contest, I have to mention that dropps has some GREAT deals going on right now. The standard price for a case (12-20 load packets - 240 loads) is $83.99, but they have a promotion going on for $69.99! You can also purchase 60 wash and 120 wash pouches on sale as well. All three sizes are available with FREE SHIPPING during this promotion! Want to try it first? You can purchase 2-load sample packs as well as travel packs with FREE SHIPPING, too! Even better, try them for FREE after 
rebate. You can also purchase dropps on Amazon
The fine people at dropps are offering one lucky reader of Pennies In My Pocket a year supply of this fabulous laundry detergent: Twelve 20-Load dropps - 240 wash loads ...

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 316 of 316I love how there is no waste - I hate all the plastic the detergent comes in. With the extra money, I would visit a family member.
I like that they are HE friendly so I can use them in my new wahser/dryer. I also like that there is minimal trash produced from it. :)
I would use the extra money saved for one of our 5 children - they always need/want something!

I might be able to afford some new towells. That would be great.Haven't bought towells in years.
I like that there's minimal packaging, which is critical to our family. And, with the money, we'd put it directly into our savings account!

* What I like about dropps: I like the fact that these are both environmentally and financially friendly. In addition, I live in a small apartment and am trying to declutter to make space for my baby later this year.
* What I'll do with the money I save: Extra money now is going to getting out of debt; extra money later will be spent on buffing up my emergency fund.
I love that there is no measuring involved.
I'd pay off my credit card debts!
grams-kelley at sbcglobal dot net
i love the fact that they dont' have the fluffy smells that make my nose itch and i would definitely buy myself a new wig with the savings
The Dropps are easy to carry and easy to use. I would put the extra money in my savings or invest it.

I am a minimalist (or at least trying to move towards that goal), so I like that you can pack a lot of cleaning power into such a small package. I am quite certain that any money that I would save would quickly be consumed by just the cost of increase in pricing of all of the other items we use such as food and gas. Every little bit of savings helps though.

I have tried all over the blogosphere to win this great contest...I love how easy dropps are - no measuring, no mess.
I'd spend my extra money on paying down debt!
this sounds like what I need!!
with 9 people in our family we have a lot of laundry! with the money I'd save I'd paint as many walls in my house as possible :)
My shelf is above my washer and dryer. I hate having to lug thee heavy detergent down every time. I love the fact that dropps are pre-measured packets, so you can eleminate the plastic jug. And it's great that it's good for the environment too
ktjrdn at yahoo dot com
I am always looking for a good "green" detergent, one that doesn't pollute the water. With the $ saved from winning, I can buy more cloth diapers for the new babe (and helping a bit more with the environment).
I will post on my blog: http://cheapgreenmamma.blogspot.com
It would be nice to be able to trust the kids not to put a WHOLE cup of concentrated detergant in the washer!!
I would spend the money on gas. I am not sure how much longer we will be able to play baseball with gas prices as high as they are! :(
OF couse basball means mud and grass stains, so more laundry! LOL But at least they could wash their own with out me fearing they will turn into a soap bubble when they land in a mud puddle!
OMG I'd kill to have a year supply of dropps.. I actually have 4 loads of laundry sitting in my kitchen right now honestly... ugg.
Id go out to dinner more often with the extra money.. or start saving for that power wheel i wanna get Connor.
I blogged you on Prizeatron!
http://www.prizeatron.com
I love the Eco Freindly part, and i would spend the saved money on my kids..
great giveaway!
i LOVE dropps premeasured dissolves in the washload + has no enzymes that fade colors. i'll buy more clothes with the money i'll save.
I like that it's dispensed in single "doses." When the boys are doing laundry, they seem to have an attitude that if a cup of detergent is good, three cups is three times as good. The little detergent sachets will keep them from wasting so much detergent, I hope.
Thanks so much for the giveaway! My email address is linked through my blog, so I hope that's ok! I love that these are so easy to use! If I won, I would go out to dinner w/ my hubby more often with the money I saved. Thanks again! Take care!
you can call me j.w. - that's my nickname! i love dropps! i tried a sample given to me from a friend and winning a year's supply would be amazing! i love that it is dye-free. this is super important for my kids. i hate harsh irritants, and it just makes me feel better knowing they are getting what they need without the extra bad stuff. if i win, i'll first do some serious celebrating. then i'll treat us all to sushi!
I like that it is not messy so my daughter can help me put in detergent without my having to clean up the spill when she is done! She is such a sweet helper.
As for what I would do with the money I save over the year well, I would hire a house cleaning crew to come in and do all of my house work for me at least one time! Oh what a treat that would be.

good for the environment
-AND- What you will do with the money you'll save on laundry detergent if you win this prize?
put the money in my baby's education fund
I haven't tried this yet, but the best thing would be having extra space on my laundry room shelf! The extra money? Hmmm . . . maybe a nice restaurant! deanna at count dot com
I'm not going to lie... I have to walk to my laundry room and I can't wait to get some so that I can save my back! I do love the green factor as well, less waste is excellent!
With the money I save I would love to purchase items to help me be more organized, it is one of my resolutions!
Dropps sounds great!!!
merepeters@hotmail.com
Nice site!
Pre-measured which is fantastic as other members of my family use too much detergent for our front loader! Environmentally friendly is great as well, I've been slowly making the switch from regular cleaners to environmentally friendly cleaners as we run out.
What would I do with the extra money? Well, I would use it to help continue my ability to work from home and an occasional lunch out at my favorite cafe. Every little bit helps.
I really like that Dropps is earth friendly, and I would buy myself scrapbook supplies because I'm addicted to scrapbooking!!!!
k_cook30@yahoo.com
I love that Dropps are environmentally friendly! What would I do with all that money I'd save? I'd probably throw it into savings!
I love that these travel well. i can take them on vacation . Also, no measuring!!
I love that this product is environmentally sound and it will save me money.
I will use the money for something selfish - probably better meals out.
I like the no-mess part of this detergent, and that my kids can easily put in the right amount with no worries! Since we usually buy detergent at the grocery store, the extra money will probably toward other groceries -- which is great because I love good quality food!
BTW, I blogged this giveaway! (Click my link.)
I think I would most like not having to work to get the last dregs of detergent from the bottle. With the money I'd save, I'd buy groceries. Thanks for the contest!

I love that it comes in Scent + Dye Free!
With the money I'd save I would buy a dryer
thank you for the awesome giveaway!
:)
The convenience sounds great and it's always nice to make green choices. If I win I'd use the money I save to pay off some medical debt. We had a baby last summer and are still paying for her. :)
we would love this
4 kids and a farm means lots of laundry we would use the money on the farm
I love how these are pre-measured and look really easy to use.
They are small & would be easy to store unlike the detergent I currently have in my home.
I think these are awesome. I like that they are better for the environment.
With the money I'd save if I won I would use it on scrapbooking supplies to treat myself!

I am excited about the compact size. Since my son will be off to college here soon, this would be perfect for him to take this fall.
Plus I have to respect the company for making sure it is eco-friendly, that is extremely important to me and my kids, grandkids and future generations.
My son is going to be the reciepiant of all the savings since you know how "needy" they are for money while away. Since he is on Scholarship, and will be very busy, he can't work. So, who is he gonna call? So, Me and Papa are going to need to save every penny we can.
I like how my kids will actually be able to help with the laundry with dropps. Whereas now I have to do the pouring of the detergent.
I would use the money savings for fun times with my family, movies and eating out.
I like that Dropps isn't messy and doesn't have to be measured. I would probably spend the money saved on my children.
Painters4Christ at cox.net
I love that it helps me to be "green" and it's pre-measured, so there is no mess or waste. What a great idea!! With all the money I save I would have a special weekend with my 6-year old twins. Thank you for this great giveaway!!
I like that I can use it in my HE machine, and that it is kind to our environment. Any money I save will quickly be "absorbed" at the gas pump!
no big plastic jugs - I need some new spring clothes
tiramisu392 (at) yahoo.com
Save the environment and clean your clothes!
This stuff is great! Very convient and not sticky at all!
Veronica = sanchez.veronica@gmail.com
We only use eco-friendly cleaners in our house, but sometimes it is difficult to find laundry detergent that works in our HE washing machine. Dropps is safe for HE machines and it is very good at getting out stubborn food stains from my almost 4 year old daughter's clothing!
I would use the money saved to buy more crafts from our local farmer's market. I love supporting the local farms and buying their craftware is a bonus I could do with saving money from not having to buy laundry detergent for a year!
hockeygalnc at hotmail dot com
I like that they're environmentally friendly. I'm going to spend all my savings at Chipotle.
phathui5 @hotmail.com
Wow! I can't figure out why someone didn't think of this before. Our family is trying to be more "green" and this is an excellent way!!
I would use the money to start a savings account for my baby girl
ceww@charter.net
i like that it is good for our world and with the extra money i would get needed things for the baby.
I've been hearing so much about these drops! I would love to try them, and switch to a greener detergent. Thank you for the opportunity to win BIG!!
laura
laurachilton (at) hotmail (dot) com
Oh no- please delete my above comment! I didn't pay enough attention to the rules to answer properly (I was toooo excited!!).
Correct answer:
I like drops because I'd like to switch to a greener detergent and have heard a lot about these drops! I admit, we use tide, and going away from the large plastic jug would be great.
With all the extra $$ I'd save on detergent, I'd buy a couple of the cute new summer bags at nordstroms. I'm usually very cheap with purses, but this is a good excuse to splurge (just a little). Besides, they'd go great with my clothes washed with drops!
Thanks!
Laura
laurachilton (at) hotmail (dot) com
This is awesome! I've heard about these drops.
I like that the formula isn't harsh- I have sensitive skin.
If I had the extra laundry money, I would like to take a weekend trip (AZ, CA or Las Vegas!). Pamper me and my soft, clean clothes.
Christine

Great giveaway, something we all need!
I like that Dropps are leaving less waste with their packaging, and are measured for less waste. Helping me on my way to green living.
With the extra money, I would buy my husband a couple little 'just because' gifts.
jkfabling AT comcast DOT net
Dropps- they're environmentally friendly, and save me time in measuring. I'm sold.
I'd like to take a panama canal cruise, so the extra money would be well spent!
craig (dot) chilton (at) comcast (dot) net
I love the fact that you don't have those heavy plastic jugs. It's easier on the environment and on your back. lol I would probably buy some much needed new towels. Thank you!!
WOW...what a FABULOUS contest! I think this is a great solution to other laundry detergents...you are right, those bottles are sooo big an bulky! I love the fact that you just throw one in each of your laundry loads...no measuring, no mess!
With the extra money I would save? Ummmmm, that's easy....would have to be some more clothes! This time for me...I deserve it afterall...I am the one that won the contest...right? :)
SOOOOOOOOO...pick me, pick me!

love the fact that it's not messy. Just drop it in.
I had never heard of this product or company before and have to say that I can't wait to try it! I have sensitive skin and am always looking for products that are greener and safer, so I love the fact that it comes in scent and dye free and that I wouldn't be throwing those huge empty jugs of detergent away anymore!
I would use the extra money to buy more low wattage fluorescent bulbs for my house, we're replacing all the old bulbs.
I like that there is no plastic jugs and no measuring! I would go to my local spa and treat myself!
tiramisu392 (at) yahoo.com
I hate cakey paste left on my pants. Liquid detergents rule.
Dan - They are eco-friendly. Save it.

govgirl@gmail.com
I love that dropps are mobile and that they are easy to carry around. I have been looking for an alternative to detergent for a long time and i have tried borax and vinegar (yup) to try to be better to the earth...i would like to see how these work.
With my extra cash, i will by more clothes to wash! no, I would actually pay off my loans :)
amiramurphy@gmail.com

I like that they are eco-friendly, takes up a small space, and isn't heavy to lug around. I would get some "green" household cleaners with the money I save.
I like the ease of use and with the saved money, I'd add it to my recently started 1st in a long time vacation fund!
What I like about Dropps is that it allows me a very simple way to be greener. If I won I would use the money I saved to take my children to the zoo for the day!
I like that it is good for the ecosystem, minimal waste! I would use the money I save to pay for my taxes!
I would say the most important thing about Dropps for me is that it is perfect for babies, kids and sensitive skin. We are planning on buying a house this year so anywhere we can save (especially in this area) will help us attain our goal. I blogged ya here:
http://jasonncaryn.blogspot.com/2008/03/way-cool-contests-of-week_30.html
Wow, I had no idea this product existed! I love that it's GREEN and so small. It sounds awesome! I would love to win, but I also plan to run out and try some! Thanks for the giveaway! I've also posted the contest on my blog. I already had an entry on soap; I swear!
I'd put the money in savings!
Sounds like a great product and easy on the landfill.I would save the money I saved for a new washer! ty 4 the great contest!

Angie P. said:
I like that dropps are premeasured and use so little packaging (and that they disintegrate in the wash). I won't miss lugging around those big plastic bottles. With the money I'll save, I'll probably up my monthly donation to ModestNeeds.com.
I love that Dropps is eco-friendly and cares about the environment. What I would do with the money is save for our honeymoon. I'm getting married in June, and need to save a lot of money.
I like that there is no measuring Dropps. One less thing I would have to think about during the day! If I win, the $$ saved would go toward new nursing bras...I need them badly!
Beyond the fact that it's economical, I like that I can feel good about doing laundry. With the money I'd save, I'd save up for a dishwasher.
I love the convenience of Dropps. Just a simple biodegradable wrapper to drop right in the washer. With the money I'd save with Dropps I would start stocking up my freezer.
Wow!! good for the environment
I love the idea of no mess and if I won I could use the money to buy other Green products to use.
I love the conveinence and that they are "green". I would use the money I save towards fixing up the room for the child we are in the process of adopting!
I like all the aspects of it. I like that it is not harsh on your clothes or skin (especially kids)and my husband and I also have sensitive skin. I also like that it is so convenient that you just drop it in.
With the money I am saving I would like to go out and buy myself something but we probably would need to just save it.

I like the fact that Dropps is so environmentally friendly. If I am lucky enough to win this prize, I will use the money I save on laundry detergent for gas. It is so expensive these days and unfortunately I expect it to keep on going up. This is a great giveaway by the way and I really hope I win. Thanks.
I like that they are better for the environment. I would pay bills with the extra money. Boring, but necessary.
I like that Dropps are environmentally friendly and also that they are so convenient to use. I always like to put any extra money towards the kids' college savings.
mccammacks(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
The smaller the footprint I leave on this earth, the bettter I like it! This would be great for our HE washing machine and I'm all for less mess!!! I would love to say I would go somewhere exotic, or that I'd pamper myself at the spa, or even buy myself something lavish... but reality hits and I will probably spend it on gasoline with the prices rising daily! Thanks for the opportunity to participate in this contest.
I love the convenience of it all! With Dropps there are no heavy bottles to lug around, no measuring; it's so simple a child could use it! If I were to win this contest, with the extra money that I saved, I would finally be able to do something nice for my kids. We miss all those little "extras" in life.
I like the fact that dropps Laundry Detergent is eco-friendly. The money that I save on laundry detergent will be used to pay down my credit card so that I can buy more things on-line.
