Shipping in Canada is horrid, as we all know, but if I can find 3 other moms who want to go in on a case (4x1Gal) of Bac Out, or 4 moms that wanted to go in on a 5gal pail, it will be substantially cheaper. The 1gal jugs are $50.75 each, or a 5gal pail is $209 which is a way better deal, but we would have to get our own containers (wouldn't be too hard, as 4L jugs are easy to come by).

Shipping on a case (4x1gal) would be approx $24.61, which would cost us each $56.90 for a 1gal jug of it.

Shipping on a 5gal pail is approx 28.62, so it would be $47.53 each (if we had 5 of us each get 1 gal).

This would be shipped from Vancouver, so no long wait time from the US, no customs fees and taxes. I've priced this stuff out on Amazon, and it's $51 for 1 gal, and that doesn't include taxes and fees when it crosses the border. So these prices are very comparable, and we'd be supporting a Canadian business.

I'd love to put an order in soon, so if anyone is interested, please let me know!!

The other option is Amazon, where a 4x1Gal case would be USD$165.99 shipped (USD$41.50 each), but if we got taxed, it would be USD$44.83 each.

On Amazon, the 5gal size is USD$201.22 with shipping, which would be USD$40.22 each or USD$43.26 if we got taxed (based at 5 people splitting the pail).

If ANYONE knows where I could get it cheaper, please let me know!!

It's an eco-friendly product that a lot of cloth-diapering moms use when washing their dipes. There's something in it that completely "eats" any organic smells etc in the fabric, so that diapers always come out of the wash smelling super clean and fresh. :)

hmm...really, I use Country Save detergent, they get clean, but they always seem to smell kinda...stale, not bad, just not fresh. And it doesn't leave residue or any other bad stuff on the diapers? If so, I might be interested. Do you have any other moms interested yet?
