Scent Cellar Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I am such a pack rat for keeping invoices and I thought this was interesting and has prodded me into taking a closer look at the prices for the soap I sell. I have only increased my price once in the past 2 years but maybe it's time again.Old invoice from Columbus Foods from early in 200650 lbs PKO $50 now is $67.5050 lbs 92 degree coconut $39.50 now is $ 62.5050 lbs RBD palm $36.50 now is $60.00When my oils come tomorrow I imagine I will be equally shocked to see the UPS charges.

CareBear Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 so sad, but it's life... not just soaping - wax, flour, cooking oils, even rice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Heck just last summer coconut 76 alone only cost us $35, but was over $60 to bring in another 50 lbs. I'm loaded in PKO (flaked and not) and still have a good portion of 30 lbs of palm, but it was shocking to see the differences in prices now.

mystical_angel1219 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I completely agree- sticker shell shock on everything.Especially consumables. It's disguisting. Sad state of affairs this country is in, for real. <sigh> :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vio Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 My olive oil I get here locally went up 2 dollars recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 It's the same over here in U.K, everything is going up in price almost every week & as for petrol, I'm lucky if it doesn't go up twice a week.My budget is very small so I can only buy £10/$20 roughly worth of petrol a week which means when it's gone I don't drive, plus public transport isn't cheap either.....BAHSally.

Pam W Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I could tell you some nightmares about price increases. One example is the EVOO that we use in the restaurant went up by over $12/gal. You'll be seeing your dining-out tab go up, if it hasn't already!! There is just no way around raising prices and passing it on to the public == it sucks!!

sudsnwicks Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Yes, it is shocking to see these big jumps in the prices of everything. Especially when salaries have not gone up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trishsmecca Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 The sad part for many is as consumables and products go up in price, salaries do not follow suite since increases seem to be a places where employers cut back.Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
