thecandlespastore Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Walmart is in BFE from my house, so I only get to go once every blue moon. Any great soaping deals going on? Any suggestions for what I should get? I already have a list comprised but some of you find some great things there that I can never think of,t hen get home, read about it, and kick myself in the head because I did not get it. Any suggestions? Leaving in 30 mintutes,lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I know that some Wal*Mart stores have lard in big tubs and some even have coconut oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarieJeanette Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 The Super Walmart by us sells coconut oil and Armour brand lard. I've learned from other threads that the Armour brand doesn't add a piggy smell to your soaps like Morell's lard does. I can't find Armour brand anywhere locally except for Walmart, and I can't find coconut oil anywhere locally except the healthfood store or Walmart. It's cheaper at Walmart. I just bought some olive oil from them for CP the other day. They had a really good price compared to my regular grocery store. HTH! Happy shopping!MarieJeanette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovelyLathers Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I hope you bought some great goodies. Walmart has some great items for soaping. I got some silicone bakeware there perfect for molds. Let us know how you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 I got some silicone spatulas I desperately needed. A little bottle of coconut oil (it comes to $1.50 a pound, which is not bad, but actually more than if I bought it online and paid shipping.) Got come cupcake cups, a piping bag and tips for my butters. My Walmart is kind of crapolla. Nothing on the shelves, searched and searched for Castor Oil, and finally an associate comes and points out where it usually is, saying it was out of stock. From the looks of the little space on the shelf I am going to guess it was a little tiny bottle they were selling for $3?!So my trip was kinda sorta wasted. And its the only Walmart near me, unless I want to go to the other side of town in the opposite direction. I wanna move to Miami:laugh2: Fort Lauderdale is so not an enriching place for a dedicated soaper. I finally found a local cooking oil source, but he is also on the other side of the city. The only things in the inner city here are condos, condos, condos, that no one is buying, but they keep building them anyway:confused:Wanted to add that I grabbed 2 cans of Pringles because they were $1 each and thought of trying to Pringles can mold thing. But left them there because I really dont need to be eating any chips, still trying to lose this pregnancy fat:laugh2:And you know once you go Pringles, you never go back!

Sara Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Sounds like you got some stuff, at least. Our Wal-mart doesn't carry a whole lot, and what they do is generally more expensive than our grocery store. But I do eye up the baking isle for spoons, molds and the like. Have fun!!

Crystala25 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I went to walmart also, to see if I could find any coconut oil and all I could find was coconut oil hair conditioner. In what section do you all find these type of items? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovelyLathers Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Coconut oil is in the food section where the oils, shortening and lard are. In the walmart here it is on the top shelf it is in a white plastc container with a green lid and is made by LouAna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Coconut oil is in the baking section, along with all the other fats -- vegetable oil, olive oil, canola oil, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Walmart is the devil....please don't go again! hahahah... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystala25 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Thanks, I looked everywhere in walmart ealier today and couldn't find them, I should have known to check in the food section. I did go to Michaels though and in the bakery I found a butter flavor oil, 2 oz. for $1.99 so I think I will try it in my lip balms. I just hope that it's not so sweet that I eat it all off.

KristinesShower Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 OH!! Wal-Mart also has all of their aloe vera gel on sale for the end of summer. Mine has 32oz bottles for $1.00 and every year I go in there and buy them all. Last year I got 87 bottles!!!!!!!They are usually in the picnic and outdoors section on the bottom shelf if you are looking! I just bought out what they had here - slim pickin's this year...only 30 bottles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 Yep, searched for aloe vera gel too, because I wanted to make some parfaits, and their little skimpy bottle was $5, so I dropkicked it right back onto the shelf:laugh2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
