After dealing with major health issues for over a year, along with trying to save money, I began a quest to try to make as many things as I can from scratch.
I have collected some very good recipes along the way. These definitely save money AND as an added bonus don't have all of the unwanted YUCKY ingredients in them!
Here is a list of recipes that I've tried:

Taco Seasoning - this one is a little spicy for our tastes.
I have a couple of other recipes I'm going to try. I'll update as I try them.
Homemade "Cream of Something" Dry Soup Mix
The Mixes, I put in a canning jar with a label, and any instructions on how to use them.

Homemade Fabric Softener - I store mine in an empty milk jug.
Homemade Laundry Soap - this is amazing. Seriously.
It lasts a long, long, time. I made the first batch in February. I had approx. 1/3 of it left when I made another batch. It really does get your clothes very clean, even though it doesn't "suds" up!! My son's girlfriend is now using it, as well as his co-workers at the bank! GREAT investment!!
Homemade Fabreeze - another AMAZING.
I bought the ingredients to make this in February, have made it COUNTLESS times (I'm a bit of a Fabreeze freak), and STILL have ingredients left! I use an empty spray bottle.
Homemade Swiffer Cloth Pads - Ok, not a recipe.
But I thought I'd throw this in there because I made a bunch. I made mine out of an old towel. Worked perfectly!
Here is a list of recipes I'm going to try soon:
Liquid Hand Soap - I'm having a heck of a time finding the "glycerin" ingredient!
Homemade Swimmer's Ear Drops - my grandson gets bad earaches after swimming,
so I am going to try this soon!!
Dana- on the hand soap if you can't find glycerin just use a bar of soap that has it. I have heard of others using the Meyer's without glycerin and it still turned out.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I've looked for it EVERYWHERE! lol
