RE: What I've learned Homesteading - Preservaraffic!
Yeah, we have made a lot of soap. I used to buy it from a lady here, but she quit making it, so we bought her whole setup for $200. Got 5 moulds, 75 lbs of lye and tons of other fragrances and additives. We're out of lye now and that should tell you how much we have made, roughly.
That's a lot of soap .... I typically buy my lye from Amazon, usually fairly cheap all things considered.
We get ours from Home Hardware now. It works really good, and is cheaper than Amazon. For us in Canada anyhow. We don't need to make soap for a few years now, but we will probably do some for gifts.
Rock on then :) I've not bothered to check elsewhere, mostly because it's generally a pain to get to a store when you can't drive
Oh for sure. I get a lot from Amazon because we live in a remote area, but if I can support a local store I do. I figure that if I don't throw a bit of business their way, I can't complain when they go out of business.
I love to complain. ;)
True, I just don't live anywhere within walking distance so it becomes difficult. I do shop at this particular discount store that's a mom and pop type shop, spend roughly $150 monthly there alone because of how much cheap stuff I can get.
