When we had the Bed and Breakfast Nancy had a store selling monogrammed supplies like soap and stuff. She bought about 100 Loofa sponges to
sell. After abut a year we still had 99 (she used one) and she kept lowering the price. We paid about $2.50 each. We started at $6.95 and finally got
down to about $2.99. I was checking out a guest who bought a wooden bookmark for $1.00 and had a loofah sponge with it. When I looked at the price,
Nancy had marked it "Free with any purchase". Still took a long time to get rid of them. I was glad to see there was an actual use for them.
