    Deodorant is the thing here

    Also for some reason laundry detergent? Like, just get purex and be done with it, like $10 for a year supply.

      From what I understand laundry detergent (especially Tide) is used as a black market currency because the value is relatively stable and everyone needs it eventually.

        I read a few years ago that was because Tide was fairly high end as far as laundry detergents go.

        That was pre-Tide pods too, so those must be like Louis Vuitton type shit these days.

          Probably. I did say, “From what I understand,” rather than stating it as a fact. Could very well have been thoroughly debunked but I can’t be arsed to look up detergent shoplifting tends and causes.

      I found a wholesaler that sells a 5gal bucket of laundry detergent for $45, lasts probably 6 months.

        We’re a small household with minimal laundry so 5 gallons is more like a 10 year supply for us… I’m here for it : D

          Looking around online they’re a bit more than $50. It might be worth it to look around locally, I bet you have a laundry janitorial wholesaler near you.
