Hi ladies. Where the heck are you guys getting your oils? I don't have a car so have to get it delivered, and the cheapest organic oils, coconut and palm, I can find put my soap at 1.40 a bar!!! Yikes! I can get 55lbs of coconut for $166.39 and 55lbs Of palm for $125.14. Are there cheaper places that deliver? Thanks in advance for the help.

I've done stuff like that SO many times I've lost track! I'm glad that your sources turned out to be good ones after all!!!

XOXO, Libbie

When you cost your soap remember to add the cost of packaging, labeling, materials and your time, plus marketing time, otherwise you end up working for nothing....

Okay I re-redid my math. This is making my brain numb. So if an oil weighs about 7.8 lbs per gallon, then I am NOT getting a great deal. It would be about 900 ounces for $166.39. Not great. Any places online with cheaper organic oils? Thanks for not making me feel dumb! :)
