Don't put up too much liquid soap in plastic. The plastic will break down and anyway, liquid soap (dish, clothes, etc) doesn't have a long shelf life. Usually just a couple of years. Same with laundry pods. For storage, get powder, bars, or something like Castile soap and move to glass mason jars. I have had Dawn that I got from Costco start leaking from the seams in less than 2 years on more than one occasion, which is super annoying! Baking soda, Borax, and bar soaps like Fels Naptha are good to have for laundry, or just a traditional powdered detergent.

You store fresh eggs by "water glassing" them, it amounts to taking a fresh, unwashed egg and placing them in a solution of water and picking lime, kept cool they'll store for over a year. I use gallon pickle jars but you could put them in anything, 5 gal bucket, crock, anything, it doesn't have to be sealed, but the eggs must be submerged. Google it, but I think it's about a cup of lime per gallon of water
