VAT is so annoying!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yoreganics-soap-nuts#post-110269 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 12:58:34 +0000 looch 110269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: nope. I'd have to pay VAT for a large order, and that counteracts all the cost savings! Sucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yoreganics-soap-nuts#post-110267 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 12:56:16 +0000 Andrea 110267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LivsMama: i was just analyzing it as well! this one says 800+ loads for $55 + $8 shipping!</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/NaturOli-Soap-Nuts-Berries-PIECES/dp/B001NU2L8U" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/NaturOli-Soap-Nuts-Berries-PIECES/dp/B001NU2L8U</a></p> <p>my LO has eczema so i hate to switch products, too! </p> <p>@looch: they don't sell it in bulk around you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yoreganics-soap-nuts#post-110266 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 12:55:49 +0000 looch 110266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LivsMama: @Andrea: wouldn't it be great to buy one big bag among a group and split them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yoreganics-soap-nuts#post-110265 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 12:52:23 +0000 LivsMama 110265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Im that person that would have to do a cost analysis. At first glance they appear to be cheaper if you buy higher quantities. For 14.99 you get 8 oz of nuts to yield 80 loads. We use Dreft. A 100oz bottle of Dreft is $23, which should yield about 64 loads. So in that comparison, its cheaper. But like @Looch said, if you only buy 5, its more expensive. Either way, we dont have any skin irritation issues right now (knock wood) so I dont think Im gonna mess with something thats not broken :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yoreganics-soap-nuts#post-110263 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 12:46:35 +0000 looch 110263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I'd do it if I could find some locally to try...they're expensive for me because I have to have them sent over from the UK.</p> <p>One site had 5 nuts for about $10 on sale, that's only 5 loads of laundry...I can buy 3 liters of detergent for that price, you know? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yoreganics-soap-nuts#post-110260 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 12:43:52 +0000 Andrea 110260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LivsMama: how interesting thanks! not sure if i want to do it if @looch says they are expensive, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yoreganics-soap-nuts#post-110256 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 12:40:59 +0000 looch 110256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They're supposed to be fantastic if you cloth diaper and have bouts of diaper rash. I've never tried them, I find them too expensive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yoreganics-soap-nuts#post-110254 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 12:39:55 +0000 LivsMama 110254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I had to go look too. Apparently they are nuts off of a soapwood tree that are cracked open. The Lining in the shells makes a natural soap when mixed with water. You put them in a mesh bag and use them instead of laundry detergent, and they create a low suds naural detergent for washing. I kind of want to try them after reading about them but Im curious if they work, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yoreganics-soap-nuts#post-110215 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 11:59:30 +0000 Andrea 110215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yoreganics-soap-nuts#post-110175 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 11:20:42 +0000 chopsuey 110175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone tried these? Do they work?<br /> Saw them on Babysteals and was curious! </p>
