    I have used both Shout & Carbona color catchers. Works about the same and I reuse mine for several loads unless DH sees it "looking dirty" and then he tosses it.

    Don't know about fragrance(s) but be wary of the dye color additives. DD is allergic to 2 of them and that detergent didn't work for us.

    I found Breezy at WM when the Shout brand spot was empty. They work just as well.

    If you can't find color-catchers locally, here is a link to making your own. I would guess you could use old color-catcher's to make new ones. If not any white piece of cotton should work just fine.

    I just had to post again. I ran into our local little market and what should be in a cart saying "everything 99 cents each" but color catchers. I snagged 4 boxes and may go back for more before they are all gone. Happy dance here, can you hear the earth tremble?
