Some Money Saving Tips!

Here is an ever growing list of little tips and tricks to save a little cash in your every day life! Do a couple, and save even more!


Homemade Glass Cleaner
Combine 1 cup white vinegar and 4 cups water into a spray bottle! Way cheaper than store bought cleaners and it works great!
Homemade Laundry Detergent

4 cups of water.
• 1/3 bar of cheap soap, grated.
• 1/2 cup washing soda (not baking soda).
• 1/2 cup of Borax (20 Mule Team).
• 5-gallon bucket for mixing.
• 3 gallons of water.


First, mix the grated soap in a saucepan with 4 cups of water, and heat on low until the soap is completely dissolved. Add hot water/soap mixture to 3 gallons of water in the 5-gallon bucket, stir in the washing soda and Borax, and continue stirring until thickened. Let the mix sit for 24 hours, and voila! Homemade laundry detergent.

Total cost per load? In the neighborhood of 2 cents. Store-bought detergent, depending on what you buy and where you buy it, can cost about 20 cents per load -- 10 times more.
