Let’s get a list going. Like with a Target debit card you can get $40 cash back and it takes 1 to 2 days to be withdraw from your checking.

    Shampoos and shower gels are scams imo. I order a 10 litre container of the cheap pink soap you get when using public restrooms. It cleans just as well and is significantly cheaper. I use an empty bottle with a pump on top and refill it with the container every other month or so.

    Edit: If you got sensitive skin that needs special care then this isn’t for you, though.

      That soap makes my hand crack and bleed. The though of using that on my whole body is painful.

        Same for me , and if I use these soaps, I get Very dry skin no matter what. Liquid soaps are only ones that won’t do that.

        i have long hair and don’t even use shampoo, it’s perfectly fine so long as you’re not habitually rubbing shit on your head.

      Even then, a basic soap like Dr Bronners or your favorite “hand soap” does well for most of your body. People ask my wife how her hair is so amazing, she just washes it every couple days instead of every day and sometimes has some light argan oil or something to reduce frizz. Washing hair (especially long hair) every day damages it no matter what you’re doing. The most important thing is to scrub your scalp really good.

      Just buy blocks of basic hard soap. Better for your skin and your plumbing. I don’t know if it’s cheaper compared to your 10L bottle, but it’s definitely cheaper compared to normal liquid soap bottles.

        If you don’t have hard water, maybe. Not here. Soap scum on the tub, soap doesn’t remove dirt, just sort of locks it on. Which does not matter as much on skin but is disastrous for hair. I have known a couple people who had to cut their hair off after trying to wash it with soap.

        If I was to the point where I could only afford one, I’d get shampoo. If that was impossible for awhile, water only is the way I would go. It works ok, most stuff rinses off.

        I did that for two years but I just went through a block too quick. And some soap lumps clogged the drain every now and then

      I use Dawn-style dish soap for everything except shampoo. I go with the conditioner-only strategy for hair cleaning. Shampoo really isn’t necessary.
