I've had to raise my prices. I have a price per bar and a slightly discounted price for 4 bars. Most people buy the 4.

I wish I could just join in but I've got a ton of soapy endeavors that need completed on the business end. I have restocks and fall soaps to complete before a big weekend market in early September. I'll see about doing a fall soap remake that fits the requirements, but won't sign up unless I...
