Ohh! I just saw your post MaryJane. They are Samsung. I got the bigger ones since I needed it for washing the horse blankets and and leg wraps and our comforters and such. I got a really good deal on them. Sears had them on sale the day after Thanksgiving and I got both for a 1000.00. They are usually that much a piece. Maybe they will have them on sale again this year if you can hold out a little while longer. They are really nice. I actually enjoy doing laundry. I don't have a laundry room. They are in my garage which is not attached to the house. So it is a chore. But with my new set and my new laundry soap I am actually enjoying it.

If your Walmart has it, it is always in the laundry section...laundry detergent, softener, etc. Sometimes when I go they are out of it. Good Luck Beverly!

My Wal-Mart doesn't carry it. I found it at City Market which is Kroger's or King Soopers

I can't find it either...It's not at Wal-mart or Wegmans or the dollar stores. But I will keep looking. I still have plenty of white homemade soap. I love it but I do want to try the pink..........

Hope all your days are Sunnydays.

Zote is a western US soap(based in Mexico). I could not find it here either, so I finally gave in & ordered some from Lehmans. I think it was $2.75 for 3 bars, but the bars are HUGE!!! One bar of Zote equals 3 of Kurts Castile. I like them both, but this is a nice change. Neat scent too. Kinda citronella.. Of course I also ordered some Amish made corn brooms & other stuff too. Could not resist. Love Lehman's!

That is a great price Lisa! I pay 99 cent each for mine. And yes, they are huge! When I use Zote with my recipe, I use 1 1/3 bars. I love it to because it smells so clean!

Hugs!

Hey Girls, Guess what grocery store I saw and actually went in? Piggly Wiggly. I was at the coast camping in NC, and they still have Piggly Wiggly stores. I love it!
I wish I had read this thread before I went, I could have looked for pink Zote!!!

Do I use the Zote and the Fels? It might be pretty with pink and yellow, but I dont want to overdo it, either.

I finally have all my ingredients and I am just looking for a tub.

I've used both and I love it! The batch I am using now has both. Just make sure it equals to approx. 16 oz. of bar soap. Good luck!

Hugs!

Maryjane, check out what you inspired! Look under nifty thrifty and see the milk box to soap box. You have started a trend from your really cute little pink soap box.

Smiles, Melody June

OMG! I can't believe myself! After all this time I looked in where you put the soap on my front end loader and would you believe what I found? It says "Up for powder and down for liquid". You would have thought I was a true blonde. I LMAO when I read that because all this time I have been melting my soap in my little jar in the kitchen in the house and then have to take out to the garage where my washer is!!!

I do believe that deserves a "Here's you sign" !!!!
