Comparison: MGM Cleaning Products Vs. Walmart Cleaning Products

MGM has been advertising that the Get Clean starter kit replaces $3,400 worth of cleaning products from the store. I thought, that may be true of grocery stores, but probably not Wal-Mart. So, last night I took my kids on a field trip to Wal-Mart and found the prices for the bottles that MGM says Get Clean replaces. (I found this information on the Product Sheet for the Get Clean Starter Kit - for bottle sizes, etc, please refer to that sheet.) I was shocked at the results.

Fantastik: 60 bottles @ $1.78 = $106.80
Windex: 728 bottles @ $4.44 = $3,232.32
Cascade: 2.5 boxes @ $2.38 = $5.95
Downy: 3 bottles @ $4.28 = $12.84
Woolite: $4.74
Clorox Wipes: $2.33
Soft Scrub: $2.66
Bounce: $3.24
Tide: $6.64 (100oz)
Mr. Clean (couldn't find MopNGlow)= 25.5 bottles @ $2.47 = $63.23

Total Wal-Mart cost = $3,441.75

WOW!

Obviously, the biggest savings is with Windex. But with that kind of savings, you can afford to pay a bit more for other MGM cleaning products - especially since they work!

On a side note: I almost picked up a bottle of the new Clorox Anywhere hard surface cleaner. It had such a beautiful bottle, it almost seemed to me that it must be safe to use anywhere. I caught myself, and remembered it's bleach! Not safe at all. (I did not pick up the bottle to read the warning label, but I should have!) The point here is packaging makes such a difference. I'm thrilled with MGM's beautiful packaging. I'd also like to point out that MGM's bottles are all see-through. At Wal-Mart, every other bottle that was pretty was also opaque - you couldn't see what was inside.

Another side note: while trying to find the correct Downy bottle for comparison, I nearly fell over (quite literally) because of the strong, strong scent near the fabric softeners. It was quite overpowering. Fortunately, I was able to get out of the aisle before I got a headache. I'd hate to have to go down that aisle on a regular basis!

Still yet another side note (the last I promise you): I had to make a special trip to Wal-Mart to check out prices. Why? Because I only go there once or twice a year. I don't need to because all my personal care products are delivered right to my door. Convenient? Yes. But with four children with me, it also saves me the aggravation of the whining and begging that Wal-Mart inevitably brings about, and the money I would be tempted to spend (that I know my friends are spending) to buy their kids something just to stop the begging.

I'm thrilled with MGM's products!
