anabanana's candles Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 My husband and I were doing some shopping at Walmart and I scored a 25 pd bucket of Lard for $20. Check out yours and see if they have it. It was right next to the 4pd tubs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavenScentU Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 That is a good deal. My problem is I can't stand the smell of lard. I can't get past the smell, all I smell is bacon or ham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz.choize Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 That is a good deal. My problem is I can't stand the smell of lard. I can't get past the smell, all I smell is bacon or ham.Really, ....I smelled my 4lbs I bought the other day, and I definitely cant smell any of that! I've never soaped with it, but I know some soapers can be a bit neg., when it comes to animal fats in general. So I was a lil apprehensive about trying it. Guess I'll find out the pros and cons for myself.:tiptoe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I've only made lard soap once and it was wonderful. I would rather smell lard, which never had much smell to me, than Olive Oil or Unrefined Shae Butter. Now those stink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloworm Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I use a lot of lard-makes the best soap. We're in the country, folks don't seem to mind it here. I can't smell much odor in mine-and none in the soap at all.Glo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaylors Kreations Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I like my lard soaps. Its not much of an issue out here, but this an AG town. We do have a few ppl that do only veggie, but they tend to be from the urban Yankee or So Cali areas. I take whichever bar I grab before I hop in the shower. I know what piggy smells like and never got any kind of whiff from lard, either i'm not getting it or my nose is dead for that kind of faint smell from stickin it in FO bottles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I love lard in soap. I've never smelled it in the soap. But I also love Crisco in soap too. I use the lard strictly in the goats milk soap. I can't smell the lard, just the Goats milk and OMH scent I added. Fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I don't smell it either and a 20 lb bucket goes a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gippersmom Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Was this a markdown deal on lard? OR is it their "everyday low price"? I haven't ever used lard...well, actually, I made one batch of soap, with lard from the discount store (I got it for .50 a pound) My mom didn't like the "odd smell" of my unscented EVOO soap...so just for giggles I made a soap with lard and lye. It was crumbly...It took forever to trace, but I figured I could use it for laundry soap...oh, I think I zero SF'd it too, come to think of it because not only did my mom not like the smell of EVOO soap, she didn't like how it made your hands feel like there was something on them...! WTH? LOL...After listening to my mom tell me how she hated lye soap (because she grew up using it back 70 years ago) I figured if she tried mine she'd like it...but after her comments, I figured maybe she actually DID like that old lard soap! LOL. Anyway, those of you who use lard, do you just use it for a percent with other oils? Also, does it make your soap white? Thanks!
