Went to do some restocking this week.
We always buy bars of Ivory soap in bulk packs at either BJ’s or Sams Club.
Why Ivory?
Ivory is pure soap - no perfumes, etc. - and in a SHTF scenario can be used for just about any cleaning or washing task: Bathing, dish washing, laundry....
This week we couldn’t find Ivory at either BJ’s or Sams.
And none of the help there seemed to know why they have dropped the product.
Now we have to find a new source or buy one or two bars at a time at retail stores.
If we knew this was going to happen we would have saved our stock of Ivory and used up other brands.
You might want to try Kirks’ Castile soap. I first used it a long, long time ago - it washes hair, clothes, etc. Hair works better with rinsed with water and a dash or two of vinegar in it, if you have hard water.
I buy it by the case directly from Kirks, it seems to be slightly different (more like the kind from years ago) than what is in the store locally. I have enough for a long, long time.
Just do a quick search on Kirks. Now they have other stuff like liquid soap etc, but the bar kind is all I’ve ever used. They also have two kinds now, with fragrance and without. I much prefer without, even though the kind with is very non-offensive.
Try Dr. Bronner’s. in a pinch, you can even use it for toothpaste.
