Watching a video where a guy talks about the Werribee line for over an hour. It's quite interesting

Are the cheaper brands of bar soap ok for most people? (Like the Balnea green tea and milk & honey scents.) I found their pure soap a bit harsh but that might just be me. I use their unscented sorbolene bars but people might like scent.

What about the β€˜clean linen’ scent of another cheap brand or the same sort of thing from Aldi?

I don’t have heaps of money myself so I’m thinking of buying cheap multipacks and re-wrapping the individual bars in leftover Xmas wrapping paper to help share them out at the community pantry. (I can buy higher quality and individually wrapped but would afford fewer bars.)

But if you were struggling to afford the absolute basics would you find that insulting (cheap quality) or gross (handled/not in original packaging) or would the soap be too harsh for you and your kids?
