Trader Joe's has an oatmeal/honey soap, 8oz for $1.49. They also have French triple milled soaps, 7oz for $3.49 - I've seen lavender, tea tree, and lemon verbena. The lavender is my favorite.
I bought my wife several bars of Mama Bears soap the last time I ordered shave soap there. My mother-in-law confiscated the Rosemary-Peppermint and my wife loves the Jasmine Nights. I am getting ready to order more any day now. It is clearly a step up from what I have been able to find locally.
I use Frost Fish Cove soaps. Lots of different scents, mostly all natural, and smell just fantastic. She also has an option to order a custom set if you want something very specific. Nice customer service, too. We've been ordering from her for a few years now.
If you like to support the smaller businesses, how about considering:
Queen Charlotte soaps or Mystic Water soaps? Both are made by forum members. I think Colleen at The Gentleman's Quarter also sells bath soaps, and Sue at Mama Bear has already been mentioned in this thread.

Never seen that. May need to pick some up.
If you are not on a budget, Nesti Danti makes some nice soaps.
Mysore smells like heaven! Sadly it triggers migraines for me and I have two unopened bars of it laying idle. My top favorite bar soap is Speick. The bodywash/shampoo is awesome too and I take it everywhere when I travel longer than overnight.
I've been using and enjoying Wright's Coal Tar soap lately. It no longer contains actual coal tar (just the fragrance) but has tea tree oil for its antiseptic properties. Most importantly in my book, it's tallow-based so produces a rich, creamy lather and leaves the skin feeling clean but not dry.

I went to DG yesterday to try this Yardley. It is amazing, especially for $1 a bar.
Plan on ordering some soap/shampoo bars but there is like 3458057890572 small mom and pops who offer this. I cant decide
+1 on the Wrights. My son sends it to me from London. I have been amazed at how long English soaps like Wrights and Imperial Leather last. I used to use Zest or Irish Spring, and it seemed that a bar would only last a week or two. I can get months and months out of Wrights or Imperial Leather.
Love the wake-up smell of the Wrights
, Man, I need to go shower

I just bought 28 bars of caswell-massey Almond and Sandalwood bathsoaps for $28 today at TJ Maxx. They smell great and are triple milled soaps. The regular price on the box says they are supposed to be $8 a bar.
I am going to more TJ Maxx stores in the area to stock up on this stuff.

Most comercially made bars will say 'Beauty Bar', Moisture Bar. Cleansing Bar or something similar. These are not true SOAP. If it doesn't specifically say "Soap" it is detergent.
