Witch Hazel Pricing

[jww]

I just bought my 2nd bottle of Thayer's Witch Hazel in Lemon with Aloe Vera. The first bottle I purchased was online from someone selling off stock and I paid $3 or $4 for the large bottle. Today, my wife paid just under $13 for the same sized bottle. I see online pricing in a similar range. Either prices have gone nuts or I really got an incredible deal 4 years ago. Luckily this stuff lasts an incredibly long time.

Both and, Wendell.

That was a good price 3-4 years ago, and I'd guess it was generally around $7-8 then. I can get it for less than $13 occasionally, but it has gone up considerably.

Yes, your first bottle of Thayers was a great deal, it generally hovers around $10 US on the shelves here in Chicago.

I didn't mean to be seen as complaining it was more a simple observation and inquiry than anything. Even at this price the length of time a bottle lasts me it's well worth it. Funny, I have never thought about price where skin food or MWF is concerned.

The hippy patchouli smelling granola cruncher stores around Ottawa have charged around the 12 dollar mark for the past few years. Or at least since I've started buying it. The bottles last for ever, so I still see it as a good buy for that dollar value.

I've been buying Thayer's from Amazon when I find it at a good price. I've been paying about $10/bottle. There has definitely been a price increase over the past couple of years though.

I've noted a difference in pricing for plain-jane witch hazel ... a bottle at CVS is around $4 to $5. At Target it's about $2.

Wendell,

Don't know if Thayer's feels any better than the generics but it sure as heck SMELLS a lot better!

Some of the flavors are sheer fun to splash on. Have no idea if it actually does anything all that beneficial, but....

i tend to overuse it so a bottle goes not quite so far, but even at a premium price, it seems worth it to me!

John, I had used Thayers and felt like you do. I did not see any direct benefit other than maybe some antiseptic use, but my skin did not feel smoother or less wrinkly and if I did get irritation, I dont think it did anything, or ease the discomfort any that I could tell. Now, my use of Trumpers coral skin food might even be the same but I am guessing that it just feels like it does something. I sometimes forget to put it on and can't say that I can tell I missed anything

Recalling this thread, I was in a grocery store looking for some lens cleaner, when I spotted a bottle of Dickinson's WH on a shelf next to the generic. The Dickinson't was about $2.50, and the generic was even less expensive. I paid well over $10 for a bottle of Humphrey's at a drug store a few months ago. I think the prices are artificially inflated based on whatever the market will bear.

Dickensons smells like traditional witch hazel (not too nice for me). I do prefer the Thayers in whatever scent I got. Used it up and have had to tolerate the D just to use it up. Will be shopping for Thayers.

No doubt Thayer's main selling point is the well-executed variations. Superhazel is my favorite!
