So I just made homeade laundry soap and fabric softener :) WHY didnt someone tell me 5 years ago how inexpensive,easy and greener this method is:) I will never again buy store bought crap full of chemicals:)

So what kind of things do you MOMMAS do to save a little money around the house?

Anybody got anymore DIY projects they would like to share.

I don't make my own anything. I suck.

Yeah it works great. I don't know what brand I bought because it was almost a year ago. There's no brand info on it because it's just a stone. You want the non synthetic type. Don't buy one that's white in color. It should be translucent.

How well does the crystal deodorant work? Also where did you get it? Does it seem to be worth the price? Sorry for so many questions but I've been interested in it but I've never found anyone that has used it.

Quoting Kitschy:

I make all my own cleaners, I stopped using hair products when I went poo free, I use crystal deodorant the list goes on and on. I didn't start doing this stuff to save money, but I am saving a ton.

I do my own laundry detergent and softner as well as make all my own household cleaners and dishwasher detergent. Used to make my own baby wipes. I make my own shampoo and conditioner and body moisturizers and scrubs. Lip balm and even deodorant. ..does making my own candles count? Lol.. .I think that's about it.
