Dollar by Dollar

OK,

We had seen this on facebook and we are taking this challenge. Money is tight and we are getting ready for our summer "REBUILD our funds because WINTER ate it all up" makeup challenge.

We don't smoke, we don't drink coffee, we don't shop for anything outside of fabrics and foods - so for us the challenge will be tuff. But we are up for doing this. The total saved could purchase a house full of furniture for us when we get our new home or new rental because Lord help us we can not/will not rent from here again (landlord is nice) but the heating prices are not worth the rental - not when we are paying more for heat then the rent itself.

Take the challenge - maybe this could be used for your Christmas fund or that mini vacation you wanted... Or make a donation to a great cause...

Handmade Laundry Soap by Being Creative

OMG OMG --------> Shocked!! $20 for 9 months of laundry?? I am use to paying $10 for Tide and now this blogger is telling me I can pocket this money.
http://beingcreativetokeepmysanity.blogspot.com/2010/11/homemade-laundry-soap.html#comments

Here is the receipe... Add all together (shave the bars first) - add to a jar and start $$$$$


1 4 lb 12 oz box Borax (2.15 kg or 76 oz) found in the detergent isle

1 4 lb box Arm & Hammer Baking Soda (1.81 kg) found in the cooking isle


1 box Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda 55 oz (3 lb 7 oz) found in the detergent isle


3 bars of Fels-Naptha soap, found in the detergent isle (if you use Zote bars use 2 bars instead, Zote can be found at Home Depot)


2 small containers of Oxy Clean or store brand Oxy Clean (try to get about 3.5 lbs total (1.58 kg)) found in the detergent isle.

(this is optional, I added it into mine because I have pretty messy kids and the cleaner the better)

You should be able to find all of these items at your grocery store.


**Use 1-2 Tablespoons per load. I know that does not seem like enough but this recipe does not have fillers like the store bought detergent so you only need 1-2 Tablespoons.**

This detergent is fairly mild smelling, it is not over powering. If you love a strong scent you may have to add a fabric softener or laundry crystals to each load. You can find laundry crystals in the detergent isle.
