You bet, toilet paper sheets are smaller. Not only is toilet paper more expensive, all of us are confused when we purchase any paper product because none of them are the same size, thickness, or cut that they used to be.
You know, I am not here to talk about toilet paper. I just wanted to make a point.
The product fact for today is, though, my soap bars are larger than they were 3 years ago. Why are they larger? I saw better value with a larger bar – one that did not eventually shrink down to less than 4.25 or 4.00 ounces before it was used. There is no guess-work when you purchase my soap. It is creamy, it is what I say it is (what goes into it – like oodles of raw shea butter), and it does not dry out the skin.
I did raise my prices over the course of the past 3 years, and I will do so again someday (with an announcement beforehand). Handmade soap is a luxury, especially choice goat milk soap. I want to see it stick around! And that is all good!
Laying my sales-person hat on the desk for now. Thud. I so appreciate the experience of operating a small business!

Sorry I updated our friend’s list on facebook.

Hi Amy – I am not sure what you are saying. Thanks, Mary
Sorry, I didn’t make myself clear, I’m saying that your not on our friend’s list anymore on facebook.
Amy
Hi Amy, it sounds like you might have had some troubles. Stay in touch, okay? Mary
Actually, no troubles here just made it for family and friends that we know in real life is all. I’m about to make my blog private as well.
Amy
I understand, Amy. Facebook can get jumbled up when you really want to use it for family and close friends.
Yes, it can. Was feeling a little overwhelmed!
You have to do what is right for you, Amy.
Well, I added you to the list of readers that can still read my blog though!
Love this post! Great comparison! It really tickled me.
Some twisted humor to make a point. I am glad you enjoyed it, Ginger.
Really though, wouldn’t you rather have the 6 ounce can of tuna and the full-sized package that used to be, just pay more for it, rather than try to figure out how to compare product to product when they change volume all of the time? Okay, off my soap box once again…
