I switched to laundry soap sheets
I tried the Tide brand flat sheets for the laundry in place of Tide Pods. I have now been using them for months. One large container of Pods was around $27, but the box of sheets that replaces it is $14. Wary at first, but use for Mom's laundry and our house. Amazon had a sale for $11, so I stocked up.
Also, the container is much lighter to carry!!
