Animaterra, where are you? I feel the same as yourself about Pears soap. Been using it for nearly thirty years. Have been able to order it at a local drug store (Rite-Aid) for $1.49 per bath-sized bar. have seen it as high as $7.50 per bar from pricy New York "chemists." Also available through the Cumberland General Store in crossville, TN. Their price is somewhere in between. Let me know if you need more help.
