LuminousBoutique Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I still buy it by the case, in the bottles, and my case price went from 46.68 to 53.88, thats for 12 pounds... so I think I am going to have to start buying it 50lbs at a time, I resisted up until now because it was simply easier for me to just have the containers.. but its getting costly.

LuminousBoutique Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 oh of course it is, because i started soaping lolhaha... isnt that always the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorrie Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 I have heard it was going up but I hadn't confirmed it yet. I called the place where I buy mine from. If it is still the same price I think I am going to buy 100# of it.So if anyone in Michigan is looking for lye contact me. I can't ship it but they can pick it up:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayougirl Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 The place I buy my lye from sent an e-mail saying that the potassium Hydroxide prices would be going up anywhere from 20 to 40% on Feb 4. I just order 10 more lbs of sodium hydroxide and it was the same price as the last time I bought some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I JUST got an email from a friend about a lye and potassium hydroxide supplier only 30 min away. I need to call and see what their minimum purchase is, but thats probably how I'll go from now on, hopefully prices arent going up too dramatically. A few extra cents per ounce is no big deal in the long run, but 40% would affect the bottom line for sure considering soap is my #1 product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darbla Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 the last 50lb. bag cost me about $45..today it cost me $76....That is just ridiculous and sad. Sad because I'm afraid more people will be going out of business. Time to resume reading "The Tightwad Gazette"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc26 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 uh-oh I just order a bag and my supplier's supplier upped the minimum order so I told him I would take two and he wouldn't give me a price until he got it...oh I hope it hasn't doubled!!!! I was planning to sell some in the classys so if I did get a good price I will pass it on to those looking for lye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorrie Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 I hope it hasn't. I am still waiting to hear back from the lady I get mine from. If it hasn't I am thinking about getting 100 pounds of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WendyByTheBay Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I missed something somewhere.... Why the increase?? It has been a while since I ordered supplies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorrie Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Well, I am going to blame the price increase on Dee since she started soaping the price of lye has gone up. LOLI just figure the price is rising because everything else has gone up so why not lye but I honestly don't know why.I still haven't gotten a price from where I get mine from so I am hoping it is still the same price.

Magik87 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I work in the chemical industry. Lye is going up because the supply is lower right now. Chlorine is a by-product of the manufacturing process and they can't move the chlorine and only have so much space for storage.Prices will probably go down again in the summer. It is a constant cycle of ups and downs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
