Inexpensive Alum Block Alternative
For those of you on a tight budget or who want to save some space in your travel kit, there is another source for alum in your bathroom. An alternative to the alum block is the Crystal underarm deodorant rock (Crystal Body Deodorant). It's made of the same stuff. Two uses from one product saves space in your luggage. It's cheaper too. I think the deodorant runs about $6 at the drug store, and it lasts way longer than any stick type deodorant I've ever used (going on three years with mine).

You can't beat these prices, especially if you can be creative about the shipping charges. I was going to write a comment or two on my good deals, but Stefan beat me to it. Thanks, Stefan, for the mentioning the site.
