I think it was on the shelves at Walmart today, but I haven't looked for it or bought it in years, since the bottles have gotten smaller as prices continue to climb. | ||

Something seems strange with Cheer here in Charlotte too...
Just about 4 to 6 weeks ago I noticed that one of the major grocery stores had changed the price of the 100oz bottle to $7.99, which is a great deal and a drop of several dollars. There was a shelf tag that read "new low price". It didn't say clearance or mention anything about while supplies last or that it was temporary.
Last week I noticed that the 100oz. bottles are gone, slots taken by something else and we just have 40oz and 50oz bottles. There has been some discussion that Cheer is somewhat of a lost brand at P&G...Era, Gain, Dreft and Tide all have their slot or niches, but Cheer was just sort of hovering out there. I haven't seen the Cheer Dark, which used to be found around here only at Target, in at least 6 months either. Hopefully it will reappear! Gordon | ||

Could it be a weather related shortage due either to production problems or shipping issues? My supermarket had notices about produce availability and it isn't beyond the realm of possibility that production facilities had cold or snow slowdowns or raw material shortages. | ||

Target shows several varieties
On their website. It looks like they are only sold in stores.

The tide of Tide
I also did notice the overwhelming variety of Tide in the stores where I once bought Cheer. Quite honestly the over-Tide influence on the shelves seemed a bit... odd to me. Am I having a TIDE dream??
Tide makes us both itch so neither of us can use it. I'm experimenting with All Pods and Purex - so far so OK. I will however visit Target. I don't normally shop there so I'll give it a spin. | ||

P&G Has Really Mishandled The Cheer Brand
Perhaps they should just let it die and then launch "Tide for Colours" as they do with Ariel.
Once upon a time you knew what Cheer with "Triple Colour Guard" was for; to launder items with the same great cleaning as Tide but to keep colours from fading. Now Cheer is "Bright Clean", for darks, and so forth with most liquid versions loaded with OBAS. | ||

Originally Powdered Cheer With "Triple Colour Guard"
Protected against the fading of colours by including a small amount of oxygen bleach (sodium perborate)meant to counter chlorine found in tap water. The small amount meant bleaching action was nil to none. Also since sodium perborate really becomes effecting at bleaching in water temps >120F, laundry done in cold, lukewarm, and warm water would rarely if ever be affected.
Remember as well just because the word "Oxi" appears on a detergent label today it does not translate into oxygen bleach. It can mean a brightening and whitening action based upon increased surfactants, enzymes, and anti-redeposit agents designed to give the *appearance* of bleaching action. As for OBAS, cannot understand why they are in detergents for colours either. One assumes makers of such things separate pastel/colourfast laundry and darks/blacks. The former aren't really affected by bluing agents, but latter can and will often become faded from constant exposure. | ||

Target!
Try Target. Was in a larger suburban store today and they had powder in large 120 load boxes, and regular liquid in two sizes and in both regular and HE versions. Didn't notice any free and clear, though, which struck me odd. I used the free and clear liquid many years ago and remember liking it at the time.
I live close to a CityTarget and even with their abridged selection I think they stock liquid Cheer. Now I'm curious and will have to find out. Lol | ||

Similar findings at Target in Charlotte
There are two Target stores very close to me, so I checked them both yesterday. Both have Cheer 120 load powder, and Cheer 100oz liquid in HE and non-HE. The bottles are only $7.99 regular price, that is not a sale price. What a deal.
So, to Paulg, I guess I'd continue to check around, if nothing else maybe Target will order it for you since other regions have it. Gordon This post was last edited 04/01/2014 at 21:43 | ||

Again thanks / an update
I went to Walgreens: No Cheer
And I went to Mariano's in Western Springs (formerly Dominicks): No Cheer Still have to try Target. I'll get to them soon. So off we go to Target. Regardless though, something has indeed changed in this market in regards to Cheer. Don't know what's up, but something is goofy. Thanks again for your help. I'll advise if Target comes up to the plate. | ||
