I’ve been poor for so long I don’t usually mess around with “luxury” products like fancy-shmancy soap. However, the company that makes the cheap aloe glycerine soap that you buy in bulk packs for about $0.33 cents a bar stopped making the aloe variety. I don’t want to smell like peaches or white tea, so I bought some bargain deodorant soap, which I’ve used in the past, and is comparably cheap. But, as we enter the alligator season (the time of year when humidity levels fall to minus 50%) my skin, though tending toward oily, is getting too old to handle the harsh deodorant soaps it used to laugh at and just produce a ton more oil. I have been feeling quite tight, itchy and dry of late. And, as it is hard to lotion one’s own back, I decided to live life high on the ol’ hog and try, *GASP* an expensive moisturizing soap.
I bought one bar at the drugstore for $1.69 and felt like I was just flushing cash down the toilet. But, you know what? I really like it. I’ve used it for over two weeks now and decided that it was much better for my skin, plus it smells really nice. Clean. Not fru-fru-y perfume like, but just nice, fresh and clean. Still, $1.69 a bar. I’m pretty poor. I wasn’t sure I wanted to commit to that kind of monthly expense. Then, I Googled it.
Good gravy. What did we ever do before Google?
Well I found this online drugstore called Pharmapacks. You can get it through them for less than a dollar a bar and if you buy in bulk you get free shipping. Still pricey. But hey, I’m worth it.
I did a little more digging and found out that Pharmapacks also carries many other personal hygiene products I have trouble finding elsewhere. So, double score.
