I am always on the search to assist my DH JON in our quest to get out of debt. This week I decided I would try to make my own laundry detergent. I have read so many success stories from other bloggers sites that I think I can do it also. My recipe that I am using comes from: Lea @ Farmhouse Blessings ... http://farmhouseblessings.blogspot.com/2008/03/frugal-friday-homemade-laundry-soap.html I do understand that this will not make us rich, but every little bit helps. I currently spend $10-$12 every 2 weeks on laundry detergent.
So my first test will be the expense part. I have purchased Borax 4 lbs @ $3.34, Ivory soap 3 for $.87, a throw-a-way whisk for $1.00, and baking soda for $1.00. My running total is only $6.21 and looking at the measurements I will make several batches before having to re-stock my items. I will be starting this morning and will post pictures later today showing how it went.
Have a great day!

Hi Lisa! So glad you are going to try the soap recipe. Yesterday was wash day for linens so all my sheets got washed in the new recipe. I was very pleased.
I'm with you! Wherever we can cut corners is one more step in the our journey toward being financially responsible and debt free!
Lovely blog!
Blessings,
Lea
