[QUOTE=nyctea scandiaca] This inspired me, so I went to order some of my hard-to-find toiletries online and when I saw how much shipping was, I canceled the whole order. The total order was like $70 and with shipping it would have been $117!!! Screw that, I will just go from store to store looking for my stuff, and stock up when I see it. [/QUOTE] Well nevermind… I went to [drugstore.com](http://drugstore.com) and they have FREE shipping. Yay!! ---

I have to avoid many types, and always need unsented or I break out. Do you know what the companies always drop? They drop the only one that I can wear, and then I have to break out trying new ones. That’s irritation two ways. ---

Just to clarify, I am not alergic to deodorants. Simple deodorants are rare these days, though. Most are combo deodorant/antiperspirants, and the aluminum salts in the anti-perspirant make my pits itch like crazy. I like the arm and hammer ones because they have “the pwoer of baking soda” (ok, I feel for the marketing jargon, but still, I feel it does a superior job). You just can’t harldy ever find the shit. I found it today at the local walgreens. Bitches charged me 3.50 for it. You can bet the next time I get paid, I’m dropping the 25 bucks on 5 years worth of deodorant 🙂 ---

Wait a minute…you’re comparing prices against that store that never has it? Haven’t you ever heard that old joke? “Why are you charging $10 for a hammer? The hardware store across the street has hammers for $5.” “So, go buy it there.” “Well, they’re out of hammers.” “When we’re out of them, we sell them for $5 too.” And why on earth would you think you needed to buy 8 sticks of deodorant from [Drugstore.com](http://Drugstore.com) to meet the $25 minimum? You could buy 2 or 3 sticks of deodorant, and some other stuff that you need anyway. Surely you use shampoo or razor blades or Tylenol or something… Though I am kinda loving the idea of the Deodorant Closet. Can you imagine if a guest accidentally stumbled across it? What would you say to them? That brings up an interesting question–if you were a guest in someone’s house, and you opened a door thinking it was the bathroom, and found a Deodorant Closet instead…would you say something or just close the door quietly and walk away… ---

I don’t have an answer for you, but I’m dying of curiosity here. What brand of deodorant do you use that is so rare and difficult to find? 🙂 ---

As for buying 25 bux worth…I buy tylenol, vitamins, soap, shampoo, and other things at CostCo, so I have all that I need for a long while, and no need to buy more, especially if it’s overpriced. And I shave with an electric razor. I didn’t go shopping around there looking for other overpriced stuff I could buy, I figured I could just buy what I needed of one overpriced thing and save myself the headache of finding it again. ---

Please help me to fight my ignorance here - doesn’t your anti-perspirant stop working after several months, forcing you to change brands? Mine does. Maybe I have defective pits. ---

[QUOTE=nyctea scandiaca] I feel your pain!! Not only that, but I cannot find one of my favorite foods anywhere - Maple Brown Sugar Cream of Wheat. It’s just GONE! [/QUOTE] I swear I just saw some of that today at Meijer, I bought the Co-co Wheats instead though, I love it when the kids go back to school! **Green Bean** - I don’t have a deodorant closet per se, but I have a linen stock closet, with no less than a dozen of each person’s deodorant, shampoo, shave gel, soap, toothpaste, other bathroom needs, and laundry and cleaning supplies. As one gets taken out, I’ll buy a new one to replace it. I front face, and rotate it as well. I’ve had guests stumble upon it, and think it’s pretty much on par for me, as I’m far from normal anyhow. Then I show them my walk in pantry, then they know I’m nuts! 😃 I just lightly chalk it up to being married to a Boy Scout, I like to be prepared. ---

[QUOTE=Duck Duck Goose] when I “stock up” on Kirk’s Castile Soap, which only the Fairview Kroger carries, I buy everything they have in there, damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead, because you never know when they’re going to abruptly stop carrying it. [/QUOTE] Dude, everyone does that with Kirk’s castile. At the store where I work people buy them by the armfuls. That’s really weird. Is it made of pure awesome? I’ll have to try it.
