Jcandleattic Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 *sigh* I only have enough oil oil to make up a 3lb batch of oils, so no masterbatching for me until I can get a hold of my sister to get me some from Sam's. This is irritating and why I keep saying I need to get organized. I do use SM3, but it's mainly for recipes and qualities (the way people use soapcalc) and even though it has a wonderful inventory module, if you don't keep up with it, it's useless. Anyway, it WAS my plan to masterbatch and make some soap this weekend, and I *might* end up getting some done, but this just puts a damper on the dealings. I'm little OCD when it comes to plans, and if one thing does not go right, it throws everything out of whack, and I've learned when that happens sometimes it's best just to step back and do something else until things line up right again. What are all your plans (soaping or otherwise) this weekend? Anything fun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) I just run over to Wally's or Giant and buy the large tins for 101oz olive oil. I hate being out of an ingredient when you were planning to do some soaping! Did my market today so I am not doing anything else for the day. Will probably make some soap tomorrow and hoping a batch I made the other day is firmed up enough to cut. Since its gonna rain here Sunday and Monday I plan to make soap! I always feel better making soap!! Edited April 18, 2015 by Candybee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 If I can't get a hold of my sister, I will go to Walmart, but I like getting it at Sam's because she is some sort of district manager, and she gives me her discount.

soap_nut Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I hate it when that happens! I made some beer soap this weekend and helped a friend make some soap with tallow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 So did you get your olive oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Yes, my hub ended up going to Wal-Mart to get it for me. He got the Olivari brand, but I still ended up not doing anything. I just cleaned and did laundry all weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I feel your pain. I cannot believe i ran myself out of olive this week. Normally, my process is for a quick inventory of staples every Friday. Skipped it last week, eek! I only buy soaping oils from Columbus. Thankfully they are so close i get things next day. Well, that is unless i don't complete the buy with a little click as happened Monday. Sigh.It's not as if i don't have other things to do, but when the soaping mood strikes i have to take advantage of it and fill fill fill all the molds. "Having" to make soap and "wanting" to make soap are very different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Olive oil is the one oil I always buy locally. I have never bought it online. I guess that's kind of weird but I am funny that way. Now I sometimes buy my CO and castor locally but only when I am out and need in a hurry for a soaping emergency! LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
