      Preventing people from stealing toothbrushes is just evil. Nobody chooses to be in a situation where they even think about stealing a freaking toothbrush.

      To be fair ….i live in a small town. I don’t tend to go other places and buy tooth brushes, but at the same time only expensive items are locked up.

        Deodorant is the thing here

        Also for some reason laundry detergent? Like, just get purex and be done with it, like $10 for a year supply.

          I found a wholesaler that sells a 5gal bucket of laundry detergent for $45, lasts probably 6 months.

            We’re a small household with minimal laundry so 5 gallons is more like a 10 year supply for us… I’m here for it : D

              Looking around online they’re a bit more than $50. It might be worth it to look around locally, I bet you have a laundry janitorial wholesaler near you.

          From what I understand laundry detergent (especially Tide) is used as a black market currency because the value is relatively stable and everyone needs it eventually.

            I read a few years ago that was because Tide was fairly high end as far as laundry detergents go.

            That was pre-Tide pods too, so those must be like Louis Vuitton type shit these days.

              Probably. I did say, “From what I understand,” rather than stating it as a fact. Could very well have been thoroughly debunked but I can’t be arsed to look up detergent shoplifting tends and causes.
