Keeping Track of Household Essentials Can Actually Save You Money

A few weeks ago, I found myself at the grocery store—again—realizing I’d run out of dishwasher tablets. It wasn’t the first time. And probably not the last. But it got me thinking: how many of these things do I actually go through each month?

I never really paid attention before. Pop one in, dishes come out clean, move on. But lately, with prices creeping up and me trying to be more intentional about household spending, I figured it might be worth tracking a few everyday items—just to see if I could plan better.

That’s when I stumbled across this super simple little tool:

 Dishwasher Tablet Detergent Usage Calculator. 

Just enter how many times you You just plug in how often you run the dishwasher and how many tablets you use per wash. It shows you how many tablets you’ll need weekly, monthly, even over a whole year. Honestly, it helped me realize I was underestimating how many I needed—and why I always seemed to run out too soon.

Not a life-changer, sure, but one of those tiny tools that makes you go, “Huh, that’s actually helpful.” If you're like me and like to shop in bulk or just plan things better, it might come in handy.
