MsDammit Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Before I make the 45 minute drive to the nearest Super Wallyworld, does anyone know if they carry castor oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelleB Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 My wally-world does, but it's in the health & beauty department, around the aisle with all the health supplements & vitamins. 4 oz bottles are all I could find (little brown bottles) and they're $1.97 here. I've also found that my Kroger carries it in the same department in a blue bottle, 4 oz for about $1.50. It's cheaper to order it online, but I get it from these two places all the time when I'm in a pinch. Hope that helps ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christy Doc Holley Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 I have seen it in walmart near the pharcy section .I used to use it in soap and dropped it along time ago . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCFantasy23 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 It's also in most other small pharmacies like Walgreens, Eckerd, CVS, etc, doesn't have to be Walmart. Pricey there though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Yup, even with shipping, it would be cheaper to order it online by the gallon. Unless you just need a little bit for a one time project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmille3 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Ugh! 45 minutes!I can also find it pretty easily at CVS and the supermarket. It's in the health and beauty section next to the laxatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scent Cellar Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 It's much cheaper to order a gallon of castor online from a supplier. I never make soap without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsDammit Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 Boy this really urks me. I did find castor oil at wal-mart. 4oz for $1.97. I needed a lil over 4 oz for the soap so I got 2 bottles of it. When I measured out the oil guess what-there was only 3.75 oz. Just another one of their money making tricks I guess-like the deli. I swear everytime I anything from the deli they always go over just a little bit- I don't mind but just think of the $$ they make from the extra quarter here and there. Ok enough of my babbling dammit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaColo Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 When I looked for caster oil at Wally World, it was on the bottom shelf with stomach stuff. It was awhile ago, so I'm not sure if it's still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwahlton Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Remember some things aren't by WEIGHT but by VOLUME. I would think that castor would be since it's so heavy. Kind of freaked me out when pouring the Squalane from my co-op. A full 16 oz bottle of Squalane "weighs" about 14 ounces so it's by VOLUME For our purposes, “Specfic Gravity” is a measure of the density of a substance compared to the density of water at constant room ambient temperature. In simpler terms, it is the "heaviness" of a substance compared to that of water for the same volume of space. An example will make the definition clear...Imagine a 5-gallon pail filled to the top with lead compared to a second pail of equal size filled to the top with feathers.Both pails take up the same amount of space (i.e., they each have an equal volume) yet the pail of lead weighs much more than the feathers. Why? Because lead has a much greater density than the feathers. Thus, the lead has a greater Specific Gravity than feathers.For those who want to calculate conversions between weight and volume, the following formula applies:SG = m / Vwhere "SG" is Specific Gravity; "m is Mass (expressed in avdp. oz.); "V is Volume (expressed in fl. oz.).

Scent Cellar Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 You can order a pound bottle from BCN. They ship priority USPS for weights under a lb or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
