@granny j smith look to buy some lye or caustic soda beads and learn how to make soap and detergent you can still get this stuff cheap but it will run out.
This will make a great barter item. Since we have lard rendered from pig fat which makes soap but no suds great for detergent. To make the hand soap foamy we add vegetable oil. To make it sale able we add mint and lavender which we grow best seller is rosemary mint and our bug repellent with crysanthamum (sp) And lemon eucalyptus.
