whoa melanie! that sounds outrageously high.....i either buy mine online or at some local healthfood/herb stores. you can buy them on ebay i know....other mamas may be able to help you out as far as a good online store goes. i usually pay no more than $10 for a bigger bottle....even the small bottles have a lot in them...im sure more than 10 drops.
anyways, here's my homemade laundry soap recipe:
2/3 bar grated zote soap
2 cups Borax
2 cups Washing Soda (not baking soda, still by arm and hammer, but in a yellow box, not orange)
mix up and store in a recycled glass jar---
use 1 TB. per load of laundry....smells great and lasts forever! nice save on $$ too
