      In Baltimore, USA and I cannot figure out the rationale for what gets locked and what doesn’t. I have seen $50 items out in the open right next to $5 items that are locked up. I guess its just based on what gets lifted the most??

        From my experience in retail it’s usually the products that get stolen the most; they’re often, but not necessarily always the most expensive ones.

        Also some things that have a significantly higher than average return rate.

          It’s often a size vs value vs fence-ability.

          I have not seen Deodorant but commonly see razor blades since a 5 pack is small and like 30 dollars.

      2? Idk the last time its been that low, but my regular basic one is now $7 and if i want a unique scent by the same brand its $12 for some unknown reason. Still locking them up is weird, Ive never seen that were i live thankfully.

        You can email p and g or Unilever and ask. That should get you most deodorant brands.

        Here I can get the cheapest for~1,70€. I don’t want axe or such stuff, I don’t like this pungent smell. Just don’t want to smell sweaty. If I want a special scent I take parfum, smells much better and I guess is cheaper for me

      unscented antiperspirant costs $8 now. fuck me for not wanting to smell like fake flowery bullshit i guess

      I even looked into making my own but sadly aluminum zirconium salts are both really expensive and really fucking difficult to dissolve in water, so not an even remotely straightforward DIY hygiene product
