    I discovered a single bar of $4 pure olive oil soap is all I need to shampoo and wash my entire body. Lasts a month or more. It’s so nice being able to reduce that element to one small thing, especially when traveling. But this depends a lot on the thickness/moisture of your hair and your skin’s oiliness and so on.

      good.store has bar shampoo and a lot of other regular house hold items that you might need regularly. Also all of the profits go to charity.

    I arrogantly treated myself to a $90 bottle of shampoo, and it ended up lasting 12 whole months.

      True story.

      I was at the supermarket and I was about to pick up a bottle of premium steak sauce. The guy walking by me says that I should look at the label; it’s just ketchup and horse radish and I can make it better at home. I check and he’s right. I thank him and go on.

      A few minutes later I see the same guy buying bottled ice tea.

    I have a nicer shampoo that’s about 3x as expensive, but it’s also at least twice as strong so I only need about a teaspoon for a shower (including neck, armpits and crotch). And it smells like a spa. Makes me feel great, and my partner often compliments how good I smell after I’ve taken a shower.

    So yeah, I think it’s worth it.
