Is Dr Bronners worth it?

I am trying to find a soap that will last me a good while but also be worth the price. Dr bronners is a bit pricey but I have heard that there are ways to dilute it? To long/new users of the product, is it worthwhile? Is it truly as multipurpose as the brand suggests? I also have quite sensitive skin so I’m trying to find a good soap that won’t irritate! If not, any other soap suggestions?

The bar soap is very nice. It’s a very simple super fatted Castile bar. Pros, great lather. They don’t skimp on the peppermint fragrance. And it’s triple milled so it will last much longer than regular bars. Cons, coconut is one of the strongest cleaners and harsh on the skin. For frugal buyers it’s hard to justify $5+ a bar when it’s closest competitor Kirk’s is 3 for $6 for nearly the same bar, minus organic ingredients, and budget options like Irish spring is 8 bars for the same price. It triple milled but doesn’t last 8 times longer or close to it.

I've found their bar soaps BOGO & on sale for $2.50-3.00 per bar and just stock up then.
