Now; there are a couple of changes. (1) the price has gone down on these smaller bars. (2) because of the price change, the Ten-for-$56 listing has temporarily been taken offline until all the soaps are represented in the new size and price - when that listing returns, it will be at a new price that represents the new bars. Thanks, y'all!

Lorena September 14, 2020 FunctionalLeave a comment
