Liquid Hand Soap $8.95 For 1 Gallon

2012-02-13T12:35:00.000-08:00

My hand soap would be made with 100% natural products, made in the USA. Unfortunately since i would only be doing small sells it costs more for me to buy containers. To limit this making my prices to high it is cheaper to sell larger quantities (fewer containers = lower prices).

Price: We are still at the calculating stages so nothing is written in stone. Prices might raise or lower as i continue to fully calculate all the costs. Right now it looks like 8oz of hand soap in a dispenser would be about $1.20. My other option would be to purchase 1 gallon of hand soap for $8.95, that would be 16 refills making each refill about $1.11. Any additional 8oz dispensers would be $.85 each.

Laundry Detergent $.07-$.09 Per Load

2012-02-13T11:12:00.000-08:00

I have been making my own laundry detergent for over two years now and i would never turn back! Everyone knows that i am a big couponer. I love it and it brings me a big high to snatch that great deal. I asked my fellow couponers what their 'stock up' price was per load on laundry detergent. They told me $.09-$.12 is their stock up price, meaning that they think for store bought laundry soap they think that price is good enough to buy large quantities of. My laundry soap will be made with oxy power and you only have to use 1 tablespoon per load.

Price: We are still at the calculating stages so nothing is written in stone. Prices might raise or lower as i continue to fully calculate all the costs. I am thinking of selling a couple sizes. 1 gallon (256 loads) for $17 which is $.07 per load or 16oz (32 loads) for $3 which is $.09 per load.
