I used to spend a lot of money on shampoo, until someone who worked for one of the large soap companies told me that many of the products we see on shelves are made in one place, packaged differently for different companies, and sold at all different prices. I also worked for an organization that marketed their own, affordable sunscreen, and I know for a fact that they bought from the same manufacturer that many high-priced cosmetic companies bought sunscreens from. So, yeah, eventually I got it into my head that spending a fortune for shampoo was pretty much the same as throwing my money away.

About a year ago I found myself completely out of shampoo, which rarely happens (I usually have a full bottle as a back-up.) I went to the closest Walgreen's and, it being close to the end of the month, realized that I only had a couple of bucks on me. As luck would have it, White Rain Energizing Citrus Shampoo was only $1 for a 20 oz bottle. I figured, "What the heck?" A year later, and I'm still using the stuff. It cleans my hair, doesn't leave any residue, doesn't dry out my hair, works into a nice lather, and it smells good. At the end of the day, what more could I want or expect from a shampoo? The days of me spending $8 for a bottle of shampoo are long gone. This stuff does just as good a job as anything else I've shelled out lots of money for, and it saves me money. With the cost of just about everything skyrocketing, this makes a real difference.

Nice review! And I like the way you explain the issue of parent companies/various product lines. Very interesting! Good job.

I adore citrus-especially in the summer, and an added perk is that it really keeps the mosquitoes and gnats away...Bugs hate citrus smells

I'm going to start watching for that and start saving some bucks! I did learn a year ago ,from the salon that I get my facials at, that Lancome and L'Oreal are the same company too. I think that I have those companies correct when I say that. They said to buy L'Oreal because it's cheaper and the products are the same.

Yeah, the whole business of consumers paying mostly for packaging is an eye-opener. If you look into which parent companies own which products, it's pretty amazing: often one parent company will have two or three competing products in their portfolio: all produced in the same way, at the same factories...just bottled, labelled and priced differently. maybe given a different scent, but otherwise the same. Case in point: compare the prices of Palmolive dishwashing liquid and Ajax dishwashing liquid. And then look at who owns both products.

And I went the opposite way - from $.99 to $8.00! Jo

Heck of a bargain. OMG, your info. is a huge eye-opener. Thanks! I only buy White Rain mousse (volumizing) for $1. You cannot beat that and it is TRULY the best mousse that I have used on my hair. I have tried hundreds over the years and I always come back to White Rain - and I've stuck to them for the last 2 years.
