AIBU to want some affordable plastic free toiletries?

I don't need anything vegan or home made or with fancy oils. Just basic stuff to keep myself and my family clean. I've switched to soap bars from the supermarket but I don't understand why manufactures don't produce shampoo and other cleaning products to a scale that would bring prices down. The cheapest plastic free deodorant I've found is £5 for 60g. And not even antiperspirant. Shampoo bars cost even more. I am fedup of companies claiming to be sustainable and something so basic as supplying resoanable priced plastic free toiletries can't be done?

@Roundles

You need your closest zero waste shop, and of course a little extra time to account for going there. I fill my shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, cooking oils, peanut butter, cereals, flours, body lotion..
Our local zero waste shop is crazy expensive. It's a shame as i really would like to support them but I can't justify buying pasta that's 3x more expensive because it didn't come in a bag.

Yanbu. I recently found shampoo bars in Home Bargains for £1, they have 3 different scents and look like knock off garnier. No issues with them so far and I find they lather a lot better than other, more expensive shampoo bars I've used.
Boots online often have shampoo bars on sale so I usually stock up when they have an offer on.

Dolly and Friends shampoo bars last for ages. I also buy their toothpaste tablets as they were the only ones I could find that were specifically for children.
