What’s with soap?

In the news today: 

The full impact of the drought is sweeping through Perth’s supermarket shelves, with new figures showing prices of everyday foods have spiked 40 per cent over the past year.  Perth is now the most expensive capital city in the nation for a range of goods, from 2kg of flour to a frozen chook to a carton of low-alcohol beer, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

On the list – soap - up 39%.  What’s with that?  Surely it can’t be related to the drought!  Wouldn’t that mean there would be more soap around and therefore in an over-supply situation – wouldn’t you expect the price to drop?!!
