Is it better to shop for hand made soap on Black Friday or wait a day or two?

The deals on handcrafted soaps during Black Friday vary. Sometimes you can get a better deal on Cyber Monday, which is the Monday following Black Friday, but sometimes the deals are better on Black Friday. It depends on the store and what is being offered. However, it is a good idea to check around and see what the best deal is before purchasing any soap. Also, don't forget to check for Small Business Saturday deals.

How much handmade soap should you buy for Black Friday?

Here are a few things to keep in mind when stocking up on handmade soaps for Black Friday:

1. Think about how much handmade soap you go through in a month.

If your family uses two bars of soap per week, that’s eight bars of soap per month. Buying two months’ worth of soap (16 bars) should be plenty. In any event, it is best to buy no more than three to six months worth of handmade bar soap at a time. Although handmade bar soap often has no stated expiration date, many handmade soap shops will recommend that handmade bar soap be used within a year.

Consider how you use the soap when deciding how much to buy

If you use the soap to only wash your hands at the kitchen sink or in the bathroom, you will need to buy less soap than if you use it to bathe or shower. If you use the soap to only wash your hands, you may need to buy a bar or two of soap. If you use soap to bathe or shower as well as to wash your hands, you will need to buy a larger number of soap bars.

2. Consider the size of the handmade soap bars.

An important factor is the size of the bar. Typical handmade bar soap sizes vary but usually range from 2.5 to 4 ounces. Some soap makers even offer larger bars that are 5 ounces or more.

If you're looking for a bargain, you may want to go for the smaller bars such as sample soaps, as they may cost a little less per ounce than full sized soap bars. However, if you're looking for something that will last a little longer, you may want to opt for the larger bars. If you usually buy small bars of soap, you might want to buy larger ones for Black Friday. That way, you’ll have enough to last for a bit. But if you are buying handmade soap as a gift and your budget is tight, you could buy handmade soap samples as a gift.

3. Keep an eye out for sales and promotions.

When it comes to sales and promotions for Black Friday, you can find a wide variety of deals on online stores that sell handmade soap. Many of these stores offer buy-one-get-one-free deals, or discounts if you buy in bulk. Additionally, some stores may offer special promotions during this time of year, such as free shipping or steep discounts on your next purchase.Black Friday sale sign with photo of handmade soap

Look for sales on individual handmade soap bars or sets of bars.

Black Friday is a great time to stock up on your favorites or try something new. Some online soap businesses may offer a sale on just one bar of soap. Others may have special deals if you buy one or more of the same soap bar scent or a set of bars offered as a bundle. Whether you're looking to stock up on your favorite natural soap, or are just browsing for some new scents and brands, there are plenty of great deals available during Black Friday sales events.

Look for coupon codes to save on handmade soap

In addition to sales, many soapmakers also offer coupon codes that can be applied to your purchase. These codes are often good for an additional percentage off your total purchase, so be sure to keep an eye out for them! Most stores will have a percentage off ranging from as little as 10% off to as much as 30% or 40% off.

So keep an eye out for sales and promotions when shopping online for handmade soap, and take advantage of these opportunities to get the most value for your money! It's important to note that these offers usually only last a limited time so make sure not to miss out on this opportunity by keeping an eye open. With inflation eating away at everyone's buying power and even affecting the prices of handmade soap, you want to make sure you look for every opportunity to save during Black Friday.

Conclusion:

Be sure to look for sales on individual bars or sets of bars, search for coupon codes, and check social media for announcements from your favorite soapmakers. With these tips in mind, you're sure to find some amazing deals on beautiful handmade soap this Black Friday!
