I couldn't get the top off the Lysol container, but my husband was able to do so with a screwdriver. Hooray! Unfortunately I was out of refill soap so I went to buy some. The 40-oz store brand refill was $3.99. Sure, it was the same price, but it was 5 times the size of the individual Lysol refills. However I still didn't want to spend that much. I started to explore other options and looked at the individual 8-oz bottles of Dial soap. They retailed for $1.60, but were on sale for .88 cents. I had a .35 cent coupon that would double, enabling me to get each for only .18 cents. If I bought 5 of them (40-oz worth) and used them to refill my Lysol dispenser, it would only cost me .90 cents instead of $3.99 for the larger refill or $19.95 if I bought the correct Lysol ones.
I used all my coupons and bought 8, which cost me $1.44 total. That is less than the $1.60 retail cost for one. So I look at it like I bought 1 and got 7 free! I wish I could have gotten as good a deal on the 40-oz refill so I wouldn't be wasting all the individual packaging, but an .18 cent refill was too good to pass up!
