Typically this Fels-Naptha is $0.97 or $1.07 per bar but it is sold out basically in my entite state (NY). People are reselling it online for nearly $7 per 5oz bar. What the fuck is going on, did they discontinue or something?

I use to buy it years ago when Fels-Naptha was cheap. Let me say, it's not the only game in town. I make my own laundry soap and make my own Chlorine dioxide solution, which is really Oxi-Clean. I add this to my laundry soap and its far better than Tide and other overpriced laundry soap. I can make 5 gallons of it for at least one-tenth of the cost.
My current mix is borax, laundry booster, and fels. What is the recipe for the one you use now? Does it have a strong scent?
I use 1 c borax, 1 c washing soda and 1/3 bar fels. Thats the basic recipe. You can add other things you want like scents, oxy-clean, baking soda.
Then too if fels too expensive I can substitute Zote or Kirks castile soap.
Been making this for years. I find every time the economy tanks people save by making their own.
Oh shit, I've been using 1 bar, 1cup and 1cup...am I overusing???
Its soap, so I doubt its a problem. You can check in Pinterest. Everyone has their recipe and additives. 1/3 bar works for me - a little hack - I dissolve the soap as washer fills before putting in the clothes.
